OK my buddy has 2 jato 3.3's and neither will wheelie if you try your butt off. He took the wheelie bar off b.c it moves the center of gravity back further then he took the batteries off the back and got the battery pack for the middle of the car. It will not wheelie now no matter how hard he tries and this is with 2 jatos both 3.3 using different fuels temp guage for tuning the motor so were pretty sure its running right. My rc10gt with my new OS .18 cv-r does wheelies all day long we raced the two of them on the weekend and mine would wheelie like crazy and his jato would just spin the tires. Needless to say i beat him every race b/c he can't get traction like me but he's using anacondas and im using yokohama geolanders. Oh yah when we raced there was only enough room to get up to 47 mph we only had around 150 -200 meters to run. He has never touched the slipper on either of his cars and both are stock gears. If your talking about wheelies at high speeds thats air getting under the front and pushing your car up. These guys are right if you want to take off better with no wheelies loosen your back shocks make them soft i noticed someone said remove some spacers but you have ajustable shocks you just need to turn the nut on your shock the white one with the red line on it. If your racing for top speed you want hard shocks in the back and soft up front so your steering doesnt grab as much.
wow, thanks for the abundance of info, in thinkin about just relocating the stock battery box to the front cause i dont want to spent the extra money for the traxxas battery, if it works, i will post pics, even though im sure it will look funny
