stop wheelies!!!
i have a S-maxx with a os .18tm and i love the wheelies but when im trying to race it wheelies like mad and i have a wheelie bar but it over powers it and still does them. it really sucks cause i glued my tires wrong cause my whole car wobbles at high speed on two wheels i LOVE the perfomance and i dont want to make it richer so how do i stop them?

RE: stop wheelies!!!
Get a smaller spear gear. It will increase top end but you will loose low end. Which in your case, is what you want. You can also change the clutch bell to be a little bigger to help also. Again this will decrease low end and give you top end.

RE: stop wheelies!!!
put lighter oil in your rear shocks set your ride height level with the ground...use some softer springs on the shocks....loosen your slipper.....you want it to squat and grab when u hit the throttle...and lowering your ride height with zip ties....how did you do that??? thats a new one to me...add your battery pack to the front of the truck to carry more weight up front..
Wheelies are seldom a sign of good performance...they are a product of the trucks centre of gravity...and suspension setup..
