How do you perform a wheely ?

you kick yourself in the head for wanting to do this to your rig and imagine you are doing wheelies in a shopping cart through the hobby shop while spending your lifes savings on toys...then when you wake up you will want to actually drive your rig instead of making act like a spaztic turtle on it's back......


stiffen the springs and learn how to tune...unless it has a center diff it should pull the front wheels right up....ie, monster trucks or ST or 1/10 buggies are about the only R/Cs that will wheely.....
 
If you wheelie, you're not getting all your power to the ground. If wheelies are your thing then I'd suggest purchasing an HPI Wheelie King.
 
Yeah, wheelies are cool. Until you realize that you can't steer in one. It's a pain if every time you go to take off you lift the wheels. End up going nowhere fast.
 
I know wheelies are fun for a lil while, but once you get the truck running good you're going to be working really hard to keep the front-end down if you like to go fast
 
I purchased a pede with the 2.5TRX on it and it was alright for a lil while and would have been fine if I had some bars on the back to set the front wheels down or if I was doing drag racing (rear end was locked so it would pull straight lines)...Throttle control was a must b/c if it was pulled full trigger it would actually roll over backwards

but the power was too much and I was ripping parts up left and right so it went back to an open rear and I converted to a .12 duratrax which is now back to the stock .15TRX

But if you want wheelies tune it right at mentioned above and you can get it with the .15
 
get a 3.3 tmaxx there made as wheelie masters just dont put to much faith in the wheelie bar she'll pop em so hard it'll go right over
 
Gear low, tighten up suspension and tighten the slipper. Might want to beef up your diffs. Wheelies are cool for like 5 minutes then you will realize that you actually can do more with it..jumping.

But yeah the fun only lasts for so long, so your learn throttle control.
 
my aftershock is the same way as yours in your vidio with the wheelies so i put a wheelie bar on it and got the throttle control down and its a blast
