But that is not the stock DTX engine. The guy upgraded the engine into a CY29cc and also slapped on a pipe.
If you upgrade the engine with a Zen 26cc (or even CY larger displacement engine) and matche a low end torque pipe to it, the wheelies will come with every hard pull of the trigger.
Also, I forgot to mention: if the Firehammer comes stock with 18T pinion and 46T spur (on the clutch and 1st shaft), lower your gear ratio by going tith a 16T & 48T. Or if there are lower gears out there (say like 15T & 49T or even 14T & 50T, if they exist) get those. These lower gear ratios are torque mulrtipliers at the wheel; thus meaning wheelies are a bit easier to achieve.
However, even with 16T/48T combo, I still doubt DTX (or any other unmodded 23cc engine for that matter) the has the torque to pull any wheelies at all. So, going with a more powerful engine is still a must.

The firehammer uses a 19/48 gear set. If you want to use a fg gear set you have to replace the gear support plate. The shaft spacing is different. You will not have the correct mesh if you use the FG gears. You need a FG gear support plate.

The gear carrier plate can be had for not too much more money.

Remember,there is a point beyond the wheeliepoint,and that is more power than grip-point

Wheelies on green grass will be very easy to get than on slipperier surfaces such as loose dirt or a hard smooth surface or wet surfaces. Like in the vid, the guy with the 29cc CY and pipe upgrades was pulling wheelies easily on grass where he would most likely been throwing more rooster tails in dirt or peeling out on concrete (unless he traded in slicks).
