thats ironic, because you call yourself bumperdragger...
LOL. Before the wheelie bar I sure was a bumper dragger. It still gets bent out shape and yanks all 4 tires off the ground even with the wheelie bar if I nail it hard and stay in it as the pics below show, but the truck is so much more controllable with the wheelie bar overall. All depends on what you are looking for I guess.

I used to just pull up to a perfectly vertical brick wall and nail the throttle to do back flips. Believe it or not.

I'm contemplating the HPI plastic wheelie bar because I just dropped a STS28 in it. I know its going to going the have the front end in the air often, even with a the smaller spur and larger tires I put on. My fear it that the wheelie bar is going to get broke during a bacd landing. Other wheelie bars are too visible and ugly. I also think the bar will get in my way.


Edit:
I just saw the post above mine. I didn't know the HPI wheelie bar assembly was that big.

Here is a tranny adjustment run but it has a wheelie backflip and back again.

Anybody ever flipped their truck on its lid from a wheelie, and then rolled it BACK forward onto its wheels?

Not working, but it appears to be putfile's fault.

The truck in the vid is all stock even old 2spd. That would be the Placebos. When you ask what kinda music it is it makes you sound old. Not that you are.

Seems Putfile doesn't like Firefox. I had to use Internet Explorer.
