Revo Wing Upgrade.

Having had the Revo 3.3 and the Tekno RC wing kit, IT would be your wheelie bar. LOL. The Wing addition is for stability when driving on a track NOT to preven it from wheelies. Honestly, I think it woud make it more prone to wheelie as you are adding more weight to the rear.

I suggest playing with the shocks or even loosening your slipper to not give so much punch at initial acceleration.
 
Yeah Thanks. I thought it wouldn't help but I heard somewhere that if you adjust it right it lifts the back wheels or something putting more weight on the front ones but it just seemed weird how it worked but... I like the look of them and my Dad doesn't like me bashing so maybe it would be a good upgrade still...

any other ways to keep it from wheelieing[sp?]?
 
You could also install the center diff, that will stop your wheelies for good , i did it to mine and no more wheelies .
 
Thanks.

What color or size shock would you recomend?
 
A wing is a perfect wheelie bar. It dose put a little more weight in the rear, but keeps the trucks front end up while keeping the rears on the ground. I agree the JC one will be my next wing mount, quality stuff.
 
I have a Tmaxx set up soft for racing, and I use the standard shocks, but on the outside springs, (extreme front and back) I use red springs, and the inside shocks use blue. Its certainly not a jumper but it turns in really tight, gets excellent traction and will NOT pull wheelies. I have the RB323 in it and it'll lift the front left through chassis torque but on full acceleration it just squats and goes.
 
My revo pops wheelies like theres no tomorrow. I've actually though about getting a wheelie bar but I don't Like how they look. Would a wing help cut down on the wheelies?

Wing makes a great wheelie bar.

I think the Traxxas wing and mount are great.I also have the Tekno wing and mount.The mount is indestructable but not as sleek as the Traxxas mount.
 
I have broken 2 Jconcepts wing mounts. They look nice and function well, but they cannot take too many upside down landings.
The aluminum cross braces are not drilled and tapped deep enough, the screws pull out of them easily.
I think the traxxas and Tekno are a better design. I am going with the Traxxas kit next. I like that it mounts lower on the tower and gives you a place to mount your rear bumper as well. If you have the Traxxas sway bars installed you can't mount the rear bumper with out the Traxxas wing mount. The sway bars are in the way of the stock bumper mount.
 
Thanks Guys... Now I need to convince my parents to take me to HobbyTownUSA!

That might be tough seeing as i just purchased and iPod Touch.. Oh well.
