newb needs advise
 

i have a torment 1/10 scale running a fuze 4000k brushless with 5000 nimh battery beefy shocks. I cannot get this thing to wheelie. the rear wont hook up clutch is set 2 turns out. Rear tires are brand new trenchers front shocks stiff rears are mid. any ideas?? i also have metal trans stock gearing otherwise


thanks

Does it have a slipper? tighten it down a half turn (or more as needed) to get it to wheelie. wheelies arent the best thing for the transmission . . . .

Had it tight n loose no good

Those Trenchers might be too much weight if you have them on the front too. I would suggest a lipo. It will make a tremendous difference in power. and who doesn't want more power.

Also what gearing are you running?

It should wheelie all day with a tight slipper. Smaller pinion would help. Switch to lipo.

my brother has the same thing with lipo just spins out . ill try again to tighten slipper . i thought the big boy shock would do it but no trenchers on the rear only.. and stock gearing aside from switchin from plastic to metal

If you can get a 19T pinion or around there. and with a lipo you should put weight on the front end and softer springs.

tightening your slipper too much can cause driveline damage if you do anything rough with it. Speaking from experience there

tryin everything so frustrated thanks guys this is for my 7 yr old who wants to wheelie

You could always try to strap a little weight on the back with some zip ties or tape to make it ride a little lower also if you have any spacers in the shocks on the rear take those out and move them to the front. Make the front sit high and the rear sit low.

My rustler was never able to wheelie on nimh and 18/86 gearing, Up until I got a 2s 30c LiPo. Now it's just wheelies on demand. I have 2.8 trenchers in the rear.

Put a wheelie bar on it, and strap some weight to it... it'll ride wheelies all day. Might push like a bear running down hill though...

tested it with a lipo and that's what ineed lipo it is thanks gang for the help
