Default My Vendetta ST "wheelie wing"

Ok, after installing the lipo in my new vendetta st it pulls wheelies right from the start. No need for the old reverse to forward trick. On asphalt pulls 10 foot wheelies from a stop. FUN!!! However it scrapes the rear wing pretty bad so I came up with an idea. Very simple yet, very effective. I used an old set of Mini Z wheels and tires, drilled a couple small holes in the wing, and mounted. Now it pulls wheelies, no scraping, just a smooth long wheelie. Awesome.

Someone did that to a RC18T that was build for speed maybe you should try to make one.

Are you talking about the TTech Predator X10? [link=http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/storm_in027/IMG_6333.jpg]http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e276/storm_in027/IMG_6333.jpg[/link]

jaejw1 , I totally agree, thankfully the wheelies are controllable. I have the actualy want to pull one to get one. Ive yet to tes the lipos out at the track so you may have a point. But the way the track is set up you either need BS set up, or lipo to clear some of the jumps and gaps in the track. But for fun in the street it works great.
