For a TMaxx 2.5 - Is it better to have softer or harder suspension on the rear for doing wheelies?

it will be harder because harder is like lighter and the rear speed it will just pull it up

I was thinking a harder suspension would be better for wheelies but was not sure. Thanks.

Default harder is better

with soft springs in the rear the suspension will soak up much of the force therefore only making the truck "squat" down in the rear, the stiff springs wont transfer as much force and will let the motor torque the front end up a bit.
