Wheelie King is weak
I have a stock 4x4 wheelie king and this thing is weak, I have seen vids of other stock wheelie kings and mine wont even wheelie.
I have 2 GP3300 6 cell sticks and 2 Epic 3000 6 cell packs charged on a Intellipeak digital pulse
So what would make this thing go? Better motor.

RE: Wheelie King is weak
lol not gonna un-tape my mamba
I am looking for something brushed, so I can get it kinda wet, if I fry the stock ESC, so what... replace it with a waterproof one.
What would be a good motor that would have enough power for some lite crawling and enough power to throw some dirt and rocks when I gun it.
I tried a 9.6v pack 8 cell pack, it didnt fit, but had the power I was looking for, would a good 19turn help?

no just have some power to it.
If I gun it now even on lose dirt it barley has any wheel spin and slowly gets going to a walking speed, this is not like the stock wheelking videos I have seen.

Is the drivetrain binding up somewhere?
Try the stock motor in another RC. It should act like a stock motor. If it doesnt your motor might be damaged.

RE: Wheelie King is weak
Well I got back from a week of camping in the sierras. Did some real off roading and brought the WK too.
The truck is pretty fun, I live in a urban environment so there are few if any crawler spots near me.
Would removing the rear brace cause the truck not to wheelie or peel out? I do have a TON of torque roll/twist.
I am planing on getting the crawler conversion for it, and some new tires. But what motor upgrade would be best?
