Status: offline 		hey guys, i am going to start another wheelie constest sometime twards the end of the week, hopefully this one will be better, last longer and cause less problems than the last one. Anyone (dealers) willing to donate prizes please let me know thru email or pm since we will have to sort out what prizes go to what winner, depending on how many donations we get will figure on how many place winners there will be, i would like at least 3. i am still going to donate the hot wheels radar gun.

anyways, here are some pictures of my contestant, lol. i cant give you all my secrets though until after i win

Status: offline 		ok here are the rules
1. 1/10 scale redcats only (we know the 1/8 trucks can wheelie easily)
2. must keep the vehicle 4x4
3. no weight to be added to the rear and no wheelie bars
4. video of buggy/truck with body off and putting the body back on before doing the wheelie('s), this way there will be no cheating


sound good, any suggestions? maybe if we get enough dealers to donate something we can have a 1/8th scale wheelie contest to go along with this 2, its just not fair to have them both in the same contest since the 1/8 trucks can wheelie out of the box.

Can you guys lock the rear diff?

Status: offline 		thats why i figured in the video you have to show the vehicle with the cover off, close up and putting the body back on and the wheelie without a lapse in the video. I guess you can lock the diff, silly putty in the diff or something.
