Default wheelies

i have the same problem. i want wheelies too! my trx .15 isnt ported though. i talked to a guy at a hobby shop and he told me to put a 16 tooth clutch bell on it and it probably will wheelie. i have a 17 tooth, but i havent tried it yet. let me know what works for u.

Well wheelies are more about traction and weight transfer than about pure power! If you can set the truck at a level of imbalance, any slight application of torque to the rear wheel will cause it to lift the front.

See if you can shift more weight to the back and move the imaginary wheelie fulcrum close to the back wheel.
Adding wieght behind the rear wheel will achieve the same effect, but please remember that more weight=less performance!

I would try to shift weight around (reciever battery and stuff like that) back some.

You dont need to buy anything for your car. all you need to do is tap the gas then floor it,Quickly.practice makes perfict.
btw...if you put big tires an the back it is possable to do a back flip off a curb and land on all fours.

ive even seen some front flips with 1/8 buggies a way to get more wheelies is to put harder springs on the shocks, so they dont soak all the force.
