I have heard the RC10GT(1) is a wheelie machine and i put a O.S. 15 engine in it and doesn't do wheelies. Could that be because of the gear ratio?

Well I suppose so. Does it have more top speed than you need?

can u ever have to much speed? but it does probably about 50-60

I suppose the answer is no. ut if you were willing to, you could sacrifice some top end for wheelie power. and 50-60 is plenty of speed. But how fast it goes is never enough.

how would i do that? a spear gear with less teeth?

A spur with more teeth and/or a clutch bell/pinion gear with less teeth. I had a 70 tooth spur and a 20 tooth bell and went to a 72 spur and 18 bell. WAAAAAYYYYYY more acceleration and power. A little less top speed though.

Gone - bye bye.
The issue could lie in the tuning if your gear ration is pretty close to the norm, but 50 to 60 is a very high mph for that engine I would think, but I'm no guru

50-60?!?! can't be stock then. I only get about 40 out of mine (AE .15X engine).
