Can you make an MT wheelie?

[Sandman_73]

Simple question can you make one of these things wheelie? Anyone have one that does and if so what does it take?

There are electric MTs that can do wheelies. I've never seen a gas powered MT do a proper wheelie.

I'm sure you can get it to wheelie with one of OBR's 9hp engines, a high rev clutch (maybe 10k) and a locked rear diff but you're gonna run into all sorts of trouble with the drive components

IDK. it's mid engine mounted .so u need the weight in the rear and even then 9hp obr won't make it wheelie atleast not a proper one like Rob stated...

Prove me wrong i guess

I can do donuts very well on any surface but never a wheelie. My rear dif is locked.

I saw a prototype at Redcat today. Your MT wheelie may be coming soon.

That's because the gas mt's weight 36 pounds and the engine doesn't have enough power to lift the front wheels off the ground..

my mt will do very long wheelies but i run a cc 2028 with the xl2 on 6s

 

[Ice_2k]

That's probably not the "MT" the OP meant

The mt is too heavy to wheelie. These trucks weigh 36 pounds.

watch my updated video and see a mt wheelie

Again we are talking about a gas version wheelieing.we know your electric can get it done .if u can get a gas version to do a proper wheelie that's what I want to see....

 

[tha nemesis]

ohh i see .. gotcha

 

[phreerider]

There is only gas MT , custom e unit I would expect it and backflip.

There are electric MTs that can backflip. Redcat has video on their blog from a Chicago show.
