Mine does... even with those crappy stock tires that came on it.

ok i havent had it out on dry conditions ill have to give it a go

it will, but also depends on your gearing, and suspension set up.

Gearing, suspension, and overall weight play a big roll. low gearing for more torque, stiffer suspension, and the less aluminum aftermarket the better

Out of the box, a 4910 2.5 maxx will do wheelies.....barely.

ok i got aftermarket skidplates thats all tho i think i got the standard gearing to tho

My 2.5 max will wheelie pretty much on command especially on dry surface. It's totally stock

Another big factor is how well the engine was broken in from new and how well tuned it is afterward. A bad beak-in will rob a lot of power from an engine.

I have a 10 year old 4910 2.5 Tmaxx with a 2.5r engine installed in it. It will not pull a full wheelie but coming out of a corner will pull a front wheel off the ground these days.

Brand new out of the box 10 years ago it would lift the front end off the ground but just barely but I have it geared more for speed these days. Supposed if I were to drop a smaller clutch gear and larger spur gear into it again I could probably pull the whole front end off the ground but it would not stand up on end or flip over.
