sorry bout that...it's $267.....can you get them to wheelie from a dead stop....and can they take big jumps? i got a pair of trac-ta-gator tires maybe those will pull her up?

Id get the xtm xcellerator, I have one and love it, very strong and fast, and pulls wheels all the time when driving that is, it wont pull from a stand point cause of the high gearing, but that can be changed, i highly recommend it.

you need torque&gearing to pull the front wheels.
use your Savage if you want wheelies:P

yea, my savage is unbelievable with the 15 tooth clutch bell....pulls wheelies anywhere anytime..but i want a stadium truck that does that...my friend has a nitro evader and that does that, but he thinks he evader is more durable and better than my rc10, he's an idiot....everytime he drives it something breaks, so even tho it pulls wheelies, i'm not getting that

[X(] whats wrong with the nitro evader? i know it has its fair share of problems but so does every st. THe evader is based on the race winning xx-t truck there for it has similar features and that truck was great in its day. I bet many NEST owners can back me up when i say the nitro evader is a good truck

I run 17/66 gearing on my GT with the stock .15 motor, and it wheelies... Go 16/66 gearing if you want it to be semi-uncontrollable.

i can wheely and do donuts, and hit full throttle from dead stop and ther rear wheels spinning in one place, this is a maximum st, a pro should do the sam, and its durable like hell too.

Now granted there are no close-up shots to show the gearing, but the speed on the first couple of runs should tell a reasonably edjumacated person that it isn't 14/65 gearing. This is the only clip i had available. Also, it was only about 35 degrees outside, so i was able to make pretty good power, but still... 17/65 gearing, and it wheelies.
mine is the blue RTR body

peace out
