Can u guys get your revos to do a wheelie? If so what is the trick? Do u have to make the clutch real tight?

Its all in the engine tuning. You probably need to adjust your low end needle, that effects the acceleration greatly. Just make sure you don't go too lean.

You can make it a bit easier for the engine and clutch, if you stiffen the suspention.

Also you can make the slipepr clutch tight and turn back 1/4 of a turn. (Make sure you don't over tighten the slipper clutch cause you can damage it).

...not to mention if your slipper is too tight you can damage your transmission on rough landings.

If wheelies are what you are after replace the stock clutch spring with a slightly heavier spring. This will cause the clutch to engage at a higher rpm.

if you want wheelies replace that gas motor with an electric one!

Can I turn tighten the slipper nut all the way down to see how tight is tight or can you damage it by just turning it and not running it . I am just trying to get a gauge on how far I can go with it.

A good way is to tighten the nut until it doesn't tighten no more. (Don't go as hard on it) Then just loosen back 1/4 of a turn. I think the time when you really damage the slipper clutch is when you are running it, (mainly from a jump landing). That will wreak it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 9pt">The Revo slipper uses two cupped washers in place of a spring for slipper clutch tension. They should be installed in this ( ) orientation to keep pressure against the nut and keep it from backing off. If you torque the slipper nut down too much you can flatten the washers and they will no longer keep tension on the nut which will then back off when running which results in a loose slipper clutch.
Hold the shaft with a hex wrench through the hole at the rear of the shaft and tighten the nut so that it is hard to turn the spur gear on the shaft with your thumb but still will slip some.

The only trick to wheelies is enough torque to the rear wheels and traction.
Your engine has to have a good tune to produce the needed torque and the tires have to have enough traction to transfer the torque into a wheelie.
Any stock model Revo with a 3.3 (excluding a center differential) that has a well tuned engine and decent tires should wheelie easily. (Even the original 2.5R revo would wheelie with a good tune).</span></p>
