Hello everyone,
I have a thunder Tiger sparrowhawk XT with a eZrun 10T 3900kV motor, Hobbyking 60A ESC, Turnigy 2200mah 20C 3S lipo, and the car has T4's rear tires on all 4 wheels. The car is running on stock gearing 20/70.
I am getting no wheelies, not even a single one, although the car is fast enought close to 50mph.
What is the reason for it??
Motor?
Gearing?

Heres the Vid>>>

4WD..

you got the 10T on a 60A ESC?
the 10T is a 35A motor...
The 8.5 would be a better choice for trying to wheelie it.

Issues with wheeling it
1 its a ST that is low to the ground. ST's are VERY hard to wheelie due to low COG, and honestly IMO wheeling is not a good thing cause it puts extra stress on the rear drive chain.
2 4wd. They are a bit harder to wheelie (I think its mainly due to the extra weight in the front)

Ways to get it to wheelie
Jack its COG up as high as possible.
Put bigger tires on it too
Those 2 things might get it up on its rear wheels

I've got a 4wd 1/8th truggy that can pop wheelies on command when its at 60% throttle
My mini Revo pops em easily too.

i bought 10T cz it was the best among the available ones10t, 13t,12t

Not true, my Slash 4X4 pulls the fronts up on the straights at our local track

Wow, now that I think about it, it makes sense. I always thought 2WD stadium trucks had a MUCH better time to wheelie than 4WD monster trucks because it was lighter and was RWD. Lower center of gravity, makes perfect sense dude.

slipper clutch too loose? try tightening it all the way, then back off a half turn.

My guess would be slipper too, or punch control on the esc.

traxxrc1

slipper is just what you said. plus the punch control is ok because i do wheelies on my other electrics as wel.

Call me a fool but when i bought the ESC and motor , motor had connector on it but the ESC din. SO as i was in hurry, i just stick the wire of ESC with the motor connector with a tape. Is this a problem for performance??

Wht about gearing

My Feedback: (1)

yes, that is no good at all. i'm surprised it was working at all. solder it on,you might want to add some connectors. also,you can make your rear shocks more stiff. you will lose traction though

never mind.

Yea its a problem. Its robbing voltage. Its kinda like not being able to find a padlock, so you tie the chains in a knot.

Is it that ezrun 10t motors are bad?

Thank u guyz...you were awesome. car pulling wheelies now, thnks to motor connectors
