Default What kind of wheelie bar could I use?

What's up guys, new to the forums been into R/C's now since about last Christmas.
Vehicle in question is my Mugen Seiki MBX6T converted into 1/8 electric truggy. I recently just serviced my diffs including putting 50k in the center and now she's wheelie happy but i love it.
I would also love a wheelie bar also, kind of like a Kraton design or something.
I'm sure someone would have some insight or cool ideas, links and more.


Thanks, in advice guys!

You might be able to make something out of carbon fiber and aluminum that mounts between the bottom of the rear diff and the top of the chassis you would just have to use longer diff case screws. There is a company on FB called Beast Mode RC and they also have a website under the same name that might be able to help you out, if so you would have to come up with the measurements of the holes in the chassis and make sure the width and length are correct for the wheelie bar to measure up correctly to match the diff case and be copyable with the C and D block. Probably longer rear Droop screws would be needed as well. Honestly IMO I wouldn't bother as it would probably kinda pricy and could cause structural issues w/ the rear of the truck with all the added stress on the rear bulkhead but like I said it's just my opinion.

I think you should not worry as much about a wheelie bar as you should about tuning the diffs’ oil to get the right balance of power transfer. Going your receiver pack forward can be of benefit as well.
