Or just run it soo rich and bogged down it doesn't want to move.

Just kidding of coarse. I have heard a centre diff will eliminate wheelies.

Lower truck.


Forgot about that one. That cures my buddy's wheelie problem, but who likes to lower the ride height on a MT unless you are racing.

Status: offline 		the center diff is the way to go my truck is so overpowerd and you punch it and it goes my other truck with no center diff if you are not easy it is upside down in no time no matter how fast your truck is it is not as fast upside down ,and dont worry it is just as fun if not more fun with control .
