if you go in reverse and floor it hehe (not recomended) or you could tighten the slipper clutch(the spur will strip if your not careful)

mount your battery behind the rear shock tower and she shall rise!
i did it with my bandit when it was an xl-5 and i was trying to kill a titan that was half dead. also for more grip do it on carpet and tighten up your slipper a bit.

A good motor and traction will get the front wheels off the ground. I ran a 15T speedgems in mine for a while and it would wheelie if the conditions where right. If you want wheelies on demand then a swap to brushless is the easiest way. A VXL system will keep the tires in the air as long as you want.
