Default Wheelie

Hi, I have a savage 4.6 with a smaller than stock clutch bell. Even when the engine is tuned and running well it won't wheelie. Could it be possibly be because i'm at a higher altitude? Is there anything I can do to help it wheelie? Thanks

The engine has had almost 2 gallons of 20% nitro through it.

Maybe the clutch shoes arent grabbing or the slipper is too loose.

Get an alloy clutch, the stock clutch is a waste of time with a 4.6.

The 4.6 should wheelie easily, my latest one was trying to wheelie on it's second tank of heat cycling

The slipper clutch is tight but aluminum clutch shoes might help
Thanks for the help.
