Pullin Wheelies on your T-Maxx

[Leanback]

Was wondering how far you guys can walk a whellie, when i get mine up it tends to wobble to the left and right and become instantly unstable so i have to let off and set the front end back down.

Is there any type of adjustment to this to make it more stable once on the wheelie bar so that i dont get the speed wobble?

There are several things you could factor in to your wheel steer. Terrain your pulling wheelies on (rougher or even small rocks on pavement can cause wobble), what notch your wheelie bar is set on (the higher up its set the more tendency your truck will have to walk), Size tires and what kind of ballooning your getting out of them. I am sure theres much more but IMO the easiest fix is to get some RPM tru-track arms or set your rear toe in about 3 degrees to help prevent wheel steer.

On smooth pavement with Proline Bowties (40 series) I can wheelie until I run out of room or hit something that throws off the balance. In grass with my big joes (taped to prevent ballooning) I can wheelie a good amount of time with my wheelie bar set on about the third notch.

I am running on smooth pavement, I didnt even take into consideration of tire balloning (which i do have with stock tires). I have tried the wheelie bar in all the notches, the higher up it goes the more it walks.

I just looked up the tru track arms you mentioned and looks like an awesome up grade. Is there any guides on how to set the rear toe in?

The toe is pre-set with the tru-track setup and can not be changed.

Loose the wheelie bar and put on a rear wing and you can ride a wheelie on the wing untill you get tired of it.

My Rustler and Jato used to do the same thing, I put some locking grease in the rear diff and it settled them down pretty good. I'm running Bad Horsie's locking grease, I'm not sure how well it would hold up in a T-Maxx though, they say it's for trucks under 10 lbs.

I meant changing it on the stock rear arms.

I didnt even know they had spoilers for the T-Maxx, my son and the kids in the neighborhood love the wheelies so i wanted to able to walk it all the way down the street for them.

Does it hurt the tranny when doing the wheelies due to the 4WD?

put a lower gear in. and add more power. that what stableizes trenching machines.

No harm to the tranny because of 4wd.

Not a TMaxx in this video but the revo and the Maxx will wing walk a wheelie for a long way if you have room.

To adjust the toe in on the stock setup, there is a turnbuckle on the rear side of the knuckles going to the bulkheads (It's been awhile since I've seen a stock setup, so my memory is rusty). Your going to want to turn them evenly per side so that the tires point inward toward the chassis. To know what degree your at you would need a gauge made for measuring toe. Just eyeball it though, turn them in evenly a little bit at a time. Try wheelies a little bit in between each adjustment until you get things more stable.
