I was running a 54 and tightened the slipper a little to much, it did wheelies on command for about 10 minutes then i had to spend abou 50$ to get rear diff rebuilt [] so i stopped with the wheelies [&:]

Once i tuned mine right i can make a tight turn then Full throttle and it will wheelie have you tried that? The only way your going to get it to wheelie from a dead stop is bigger motor/tighten the slipper. But like jarrett said when you tighten the slipper you run into major problems

stiffen your rear suspension. tighten the slipper a bit and see if you get wheelies then. after i put an axial.32 on my 3.3revo, the slipper nut loosened itself 3 times within 2 tanks of fuel. i cranked the nut down tight and added a second nut to lock it on. no problems yet, this was atleast half a gallon ago!

you can run a spool on asphalt, you'll just find out where the weakest parts are! 1:1 vehicles with spools will chirp tires and can bind up the drivetrain, and not handle very well on asphalt.
