RE: Revo won't wheelie?
The Revo 3.3 does wheelie out of the box, the best way I to do it is...
It is also true that the T-Maxx wheelies much easier. I suppose that is because of the shorter chassis.
On my Revo I decreased the amount of SAG on the rear springs by compressing the coil. This helped with the wheelies.
Slam on the brakes and then gun it. Or take a sharp turn fast and nail the gas.

ok guys all you gotta do is tighten up your slipper clutch...you know the bolt holding your spur gear on...dont over tighten it though...I would invest in a wheelie bar.....

RE: Revo wheelie?
gday mate i also have a revo
when i got mine it was this time last year, when i got it out of the box i was wrapped but i had the same problem
it just wouldnt wheel stand. dont try and convert it to rear wheel drive as that doesnt need to be done
it just becomes impossible to control.
i suggest tightning the slipper clutch also raise the trucks hight as much as you can.
tyres can also have a big impact on wheelies tyres on the stock revo are ok but upgrade to a set of proline badlands or something with high traction.
also that new 3.3 motor should have the power to lift the front high sky.
i have a RB323 big block in mine and it now wheelies on command. so much so that i have ripped the back of my revo out. trust me get a wheelie bar!!!
hope this helps you out cheers chris

RE: Revo won't wheelie?
i have a giga crusher readyset with the single .28 engine up the front and this things weight is so evenly spread out i can balance it on a pole almost and everyone said it wont wheelie its to front heavy and i had the front wheelie off the ground 2cm and when i hit the brakes then gunned it even a bit higher and now im gunna put some 50wt shock oil in and that will fix the problem and if not put some more weight in the back try doing those things and it should wheelie but if not maybe your motor isnt putting out enough power than it should

RE: Revo won't wheelie?
its not the gas becuz i use 33% and my 3.3 still doent do a wheelie. personally i don kno y but my friends thinks it can be tuned to bring it up in the air but apart from that my best guess wud be to use stiffer springs.

RE: Revo won't wheelie?
Wheelies are not all that great. I had a Picco .26 on mine, and had to loosen the slipper clutch to keep the front end down. Took the Picco off last night and gave it to a friend, and put the stock .15 back on. Now I can control the truck alot better, and it's fun again. Do not lean the engine so it goes full speed either, it won't last long that way. Fatten it up just to the point where it doesn't quite go full speed, and the engine and glow plugs will last alot longer. By the way, the slipper clutch is what saves the transmission, differentials, and alot of other stuff from breaking or stripping, so don't get carried away there either. You want the slipper clutch to work, or you'll be sorry later. Take it from a guy who had a very fast Revo, but now has lots of worn out bearings that really should be replaced. That big engine tore the heck out of my poor Revo, and I learned a very good lesson. Greed is a bad thing. lol
