can't do wheelys

[vmswimfan21]

Had my truck for over a year now and I've run about 2 gallons through it and its fast but I just can't get it to do whellys on pavement. I've tuned it and returned it had a nitro guru buddy of mine tune it and on grass no problem on pavement it just takes off. So what do you all think I could do?

tighten up your slipper clutch. dont want to do too many wheelies though. it will put stress on the trans.

It's actually better not to wheelie. You're putting all the power to the ground with all 4 on the ground.

If all you want is wheelies, you can try adding more preload into the rear shocks too.

Not looking for all the time but its for the coolness factor. I try preloadimg the rear and that didnt help and made for crapy handling at high speeds. Ill try thightening the slipper some more and see how that goes. Not to worried about the tranny its cheap for parts

I got the same problem, cept mine won't even wheelie in the grass. I think mines the clutch though.

That is the clutch i have. My hobby shop guy said it was my tires (pro line Big Joes). The Revo runs great, I would like to be able to grab a wheelie once in a while also.

a stock revo 3.3 will wheelie .....you need a good tune and good traction ....if there is a bit of sand on the pavement , it will just spin ...unless you have a big block revo ...then youll get it to wheelie on command .....i have both a 3.3 and a .26 wasp ...the wasp is awesome

If you tighten the slipper clutch it will do wheelies, I tightened mine to much one day and found out that information. It will only grab wheelies on pavement now after a left hand turn for some reason. I did loosen the slipper clutch a bit afterwards.

If you want a wheelie machine get a two wheel drive otherwise your just beating the snot out of your drivetrain!!!!!!!!:
