Default Should my revo 3.3 do wheelies?

I have a revo 3.3 (5309) and I was wondering if it should ride wheelies? It is a stock revo. What are your tips on getting a revo 3.3 to do wheelies?

it can and should wheelie on demand. you may have to have your suspension a bit firmer, but i know for a fact it can be done, repeatedly

I agree with this; but a lot of it could have to do with the way its tuned, as well as the fact that if its tuned right, it should at least do a few wheelies every now and then, if not every time u give it gas from a dead stop... and the way the suspension is set up as well could have a role it in as well......

mine doesn't...it runs right around 200 too...

tighten the slipper, firmer suspension, heavier clutch shoes & heavier springs, and good tire grip

What do you do to the suspension? What is a good clutch shoes & springs, and good tires? Is the slipper clutch the thing on the side of the trans and you hold the nut on the spur gear
