Losi Mini 8ight w/Mamba Micro setup
So I have a Mini 8ight that I am having a blast with. I've upgraded to graphite shock towers, top deck, and battery tray; upgraded to a Hitec metal gear servo, Mamba Micro Pro ESCand 4300k motor, I've upgraded to a Spektrum DX3S radio setup. Lastly, I've also upgraded my wheels to Traxxas white dish wheels. They are a little bit bigger than the yellow Losi wheels that come with the Mini 8ight. But I think the larger wheels are causing more wheelies than the original wheels. So much so that I can do a standing back flip if I punch the throttle.
I'm wanting to curb down on the wheelies, but I want to keep the larger wheels. It just jumps and lands so much better with the larger wheels. Spur/pinion combo is stock right now. Would changing either minimize the wheelies? What about tweaking the rear suspensions springs and/or oils.
Thanks!!!
