stiffen the front as well, helps pogo the front in the air. I added a stick on wheel weight to my battery tray once on my nitro evader and that helped put weight behind the rear wheels. Also, you can try and stab the brakes and pereload the front suspension and nail the throttle to use the front suspensions spring momentum to help lift. Tighten the slipper ,(if it has one, not sure.) Easiest place for me with the stock motor was in grass with good tires, not the street.

I am curious why everyone wants to do wheelies? It was cool for the first ten minutes after break in but gets old really quick. I rather keep the nose down and drive without having to let off....

Wheelie trouble with a sport?
i have a sport with the battery and RX up front,22/72 AND masher 2k`s and i can still pop the front up a bit..And thats with the pro.15 and a MIP 360 pipe
(But before i had those SUCKY dirt hawgs on it and all it would do is spin and go)
*With SAND tires in grass it will wheelie all day*

my jato 3.3 doesn't wheelie but I guess that is because I don't lean it out as mutch as it can be in safe range. I don't know if the nitro sport has a slipper but if it does tighten it up, get stiffer springs. that is all I can say. I think wheelies are just for show, they are no good when you are raceing.
