Default revo wheelies

was just wondering I've heard several people claim that their stock revos were pulling wheelies with ease is this just a matter of tuning or am I missing something here I have a older revo 2.5 with the 3.3 motor in it and it's a rare occurance if I pull any wheelies at all.

with the shorter wheel base you should be able to wheelie on demand. its probably out of tune, or your suspension is very soft, or your gearing is too tall. did you ever change the stock gearing (bell/spur).

i used 16/40 Gearing on my 2.5 with an OS 18TM, I tune, and set the slipper tight, its hard to roll while holding the shaft but it slips, if i loosen it it attempts to wheeli.

Tune, and set slipper, watch out you may strip it.

pro line badlands on standard size MT rims with 17mm hexes, excellent all round tire, and great in damp gravel and grass, go down to a 15T cb and you should have no problem, and harder rear suspension wouldn't hurt either.
