hi, i changed the clutch bell of my s-25 from 15t to 13t, with 49t spur, and still don't get any high wheelie, i just have about an inch high wheelie from a stop onroad. i already tried to tighten the slipper to 1/2 turn from close and the LSN is almost 2.5 from close.

the engine sounds great and no hesitation of the engine while accelerating and on top speed there's a nice trail of smoke( but not to much). is there anything i am missing here?
my brother's tmaxx is still stock and accelerates as fast as mine.
we just bought our trucks about 2 weeks ago.

i already had 21 tanks through my engine. am using trinity 20%. my plug is new every ten tanks. but still no improvement on the way it accelerates. :whip: :whip: :whip: :devious: :x :nuke:
 
then you engine is not tuned properly....49T 13T will give 100% all the time...run it a little lean.. did you run it on dirt???? On road will be a little difficult depending on the surface... today I raced in shopping mall parking lot... and I pull wheelies all the time.. just that the parking lot was too slick and I couldn't pull a full wheelie.. I drove it on the sidewalk and pulled wheelies all the time..

yes i ran it on the grass and pavement, i ran it lean that almost no blue smoke is comming out. but still no wheelie. the sound of my engine is smooth as i compared it to the videos who has properly tuned engine. my settings is about 2.8 HSN, 2.6LSN, i just get about an inch wheelie from a complete stop on a smooth pavement. (while my tires are dry, for more traction right?) :((
 
hey my brother had the same prob make sure your brakes are not binding and ur tires are glued hope this helps:ale:
 
the tires are glued properly and it has good free wheeling, but i would check on the brakes. thanks....
i have 80wt shock oil on the rear already.
is there a possibility of a weak engine here?
but my engine starts right up every run.

thanx :)
 
tuning varies from area to area... we all can't have the same settings... and for the sound on the video doesn't mean yours should soud like that.. I can my truck sound like that and have poopy performance.. do you have a temp gun???
 
yup, its about 2.6t(lsn) from closed, my temp gun hasn't arrived yet. it was shipped from north carolina and expected to arrive on monday.
