Default Baja Wheelies

I am still fascinated with wheelies. Can't get enough of them.

That is an HPI Baja 5T. It has the Flowsystem Racing 28.5cc engine. PM Eric Hill on HBF.

Yeah, but it won't sound or smell as nice.

And would only pull wheelies for what 10-20min max...
Then cost up a castle XL combo, a few crazy c rated battery's, extremely high amp charger and a power supply.....

I would rather get a full mod 26-30.5cc motor

Mind u that does not look that fast, me thinks u have just stiffened up the rear... Doesn't even squat.
With proper suspension setups u shouldbe able to launch it heaps faster with out having to let off

Rob (Ramtech) here was involved in the design and manufacture of half the 5b hopups available (slight exaggeration but you get my point). Believe me you have nothing to tell him about setting up the car.

Just looked like it was set up for wheelies to me that's all, I accept that if I'm wrong. I'm new to 1/5 scale please excuses me.

I doubt it was 'set up' for anything in particular. But you were right about one thing. We're ALL big kids with expensive cars! lol

This was just a test for a new steering servo going in. and I ran it down the street to check it and thought it was funny doing wheelies. This is my race truck, its set up for off road tracks. My 16 year old was driving it, and he basically drives it when he comes ot events with me.

Must admit I'm jellous...

traction is key- the 23cc will wheelie with a rear dom.
