Rigged up homemade wheelie bar(pics)

[JatoFever]

I drilled some holes thru the Jato bumper and ran some flexible piano rod thru with some landing wheels and some of those linkage thingys on both side of each wheel. Works perfect. Also easy to remove for the track and lightweight. I also added some lead weights to the rear for better rear traction. With the battery in the middle compartment it balances it out nicely.

So here is the macgyver wheelie bar.

LOL!!! Will a nitro rustler wheelie with a trx 2.5?! Hell Yeah!!! Why would he make a wheelie bar if it didnt wheelie! :hammer:

The funniest wheelie bar i ever saw was a computer table wheel.
The guy drilled a hole through the bumper, passed the wheel shaft through the whole and put a nut and washer on it.
Looked funny, but worked very well.

Will it wheelie?? poop. This thing can be at 30mph when I punch the throttle and flip over backwards. It wheelies when it hits 2nd gear too. Believe the hype man the Jato is retarded fast. :jet:

If you watch closely on one of the rustler video clips, it hits a jump and snaps a caster block, but it cuts scene right when it happens.

I watched it a few times and noticed it.
