Is it possible to get the slayer to wheelie? My friend has a t-maxx, and it puls wheelies with the pull of the throttle. Just wondering if it's possible
 
What engine do you have? What gearing (spur/cb)?

I run a 2.5R in my slayer with 15/40 gearing and 1/8 buggy wheels/tires. Mine wheelies pretty easily on concrete. Anywhere else and it doesn't get enough traction to wheelie.
 
stock slayer with the 3.3 "should" be able to wheelie... or so they say, i had the same problem with mine, then again i was always chasing a tune issue on my 3.3.
Stiffen up the rear springs and let all the slack out of the front to get some weight transfer going and you should be able to get it to wheelie.
 
I have a 3.3 engine with a 17/40 ratio. I wanted a 17/38 but I burned that gear out due to a loose engine mount :/ Haven't bought a new one yet

I might go back to a 15/38 once I get a new spur

Imve already got some pretty stiff springs in the back. They're the black one for a revo platinum. I think 6.1 or something like that
