Default Getting Revo to do a Wheelie

I was just wondering how to make the revo doa wheeliw. The truck performs well so I dont think it's the HSN or the LSN. Do I have to make the shocks less stiff or more stiff. Any suggestions are helpfull.

Thanks,
Alex

You should have it a little more stiff. What version of the revo is it?

raise ride height, stiffen suspension, tighten slipper clutch, and most importantly get a good engine/pipe combo haha

even with low profile setup, my revo was doing wheelies with a Sirio .23 coupled with a Dynamite HT 007 pipe [sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif]

a bone stock revo with good tuneing and slipper set up should pull wheelies. i would adjust the slipper and tighten up the suspension a bit so it doesnt squat as much.

yeah...so just tighten the slipper a little bit and see what that does. you could also tighten the shocks a bit. also make sure your tune is dead on.

I think it also depends on what fuel you run: my brother's stock revo will wheelie with 20% nitro but not 16%.

yep from a stand still or rolling . they both have the red springs but they are setup medium stiffness. as long as I get traction I will wheeie and at times they will flip over backwards.
