I don't know why you are not beating him. Are you able to control it what pinion spur combo are you running. Are you sure you havent stripped out your diffs. You can easily pop wheelies just grab the throttle are you running stock tires or the 1/10. You did not give enough information for me to help.

well your running integy tires, which I bet are pin tires. 1st, theyre integy, 2nd they're pin tires. I would get some 1/10th scale or proline wheels and tires. It's probably also how you set-up the esc.

Right there, "med start". You're not going to get wheelies with med start. You should ask somebody else about the motor timing thing.

Just get these and use 1/10 scale sedan wheels and tires , I have them and they work great !
[link=http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_details.lasso?id=7915&cat_name=]1/10 scale wheel adapters[/link]
Plus they are cheap , I bought my sedan wheels and tires on Ebay for 10.00 shipped .

BTW TheToyz.com is the best site I have found for 1/18 hop ups.
