i finaly got the truck running, i was told at full speed i should be able to get wheelies.
NOT HAPPENING.
IS IT TUNED WRONG OR SOMETHING ,SEEN TO GO GOOD
 
Your not gonna get wheelies at full speed with nothing unless you got a bad SOB of an engine! I'm talking a modded .28 or a big block of some sort.
 
My revo 3.3 when tuned good does wheelies almost anytime in first gear. Picco .26 coming in next two weeks and that should pop second easy. Even when I gear it down

What version are you running and with what running gear? I have the 2.5 version with an OS cv-r .18 that will pop em all day in first gear and occasionally when shifting to second.
 
I just put a 3.3 in a tmaxx classic and it wheelies on demand. I did have this engine in a revo and I was never able to wheelie with it, but when I switched this mil over to the tmaxx I cleaned it up and sealed everything with some lucky 7 and now it seems like totally different mil. So, I'd look at that and go from there.
 
All stock tmaxx 3.3 short body. Tuned properly will wheelie through both gears. The wheelie bar is a must on my rig.
 
wheelies are fun if your into showing off. My personal preference would be performance. if it runs good go with it.
 
Wheelies are a blast (except when you want to steer)at one point thats all my max wanted to do .fun but it does get old
 
my Maxx 2.5 will pull them in first gear at the pull of the trigger, second gear....nope !
