i was wondering if there is any mods i can do to get my 4910 with a 2.5R to wheely on command. It has plenty of snap but the front only comes up every once in a while. I had a friend that could do wheelies whith a pro .15 that could do it but i think his was 2 wheel drive.
 
I have the 3.3 in my 4910 Classic Maxx Gen1 and all it wanted to do was burn the stock tires due to the hard compound The 2.5 should be descently close to that...As soon as I swapped on a set of old softer skinz from my 4908 model all it wants to do now is wheelie and flip on its rooftop...

Ok so I'm thinking stiffen up the rear shocks, tighten the slipper, and put new softer compound tires on it, possibly the 6.3"? But what tires are good? I was thinking of the newer style stock tires, but anyone have a better idea? I use it on my road as well as my yard and my dirtbike track. The older stock tires spin like crazy on everthing but the grass.
 
The Proline series 40 Masher 2000 tires with Proline series 40 Beadlock Rims work out pretty good on my 4908 Sirio .27 Bigg Maxx and MGT...Plenty of grip with good sidewall strength for nice control and grab...I also use the MGT 8.0 rims and tires on my 4908 and 4909 Twinn Engined Madd Maxx and they handled good;-especially if you belt them with clear nylon reinforced packing tape..The sidewalls are a little spongy and tall but they grab very nicely for all around running;-even nicer in loose sand and rocky gravel....Today I tried them out on the 4910 Maxx and they performed better than I expected,,,sikk wheelies on command...Maybe tomorrow Ill try out the Prolines on the Little Maxx to see those results
