[454chad]

hello everybody i just noticed today while running my mt that it does awesome wheelie's i am very happy with it just wondering anybody else has got these monster's to do this i will make a video some day very cool

 

[rampagemt]

What motor you running? I got mine once when goin up a hill!

Just off of a bounce under full throttle. Never a power wheelie from a stop. Mine still has the stock motor plus an extra few lbs. of hop-ups.

 

[rampage idiot]

The only wheelies mine does is the back end is way higher than the front when I jump it you guys cannot be running the stock tires LOL

 

[454chad]

mine will stand straight up going straight on the flat ground as long as it don't spin first i have a 30.5 race port esp engine and stock gearing and imex j-7 tires

How do you like the IMEX tires, I almost got a set of those but couldn't find enough on how good they performed on what surfaces...

+1 on vid of the wheelie...I've never seen an MT do one

Are you running 4WD?

Video please!

Are you running 4WD?Video please!

yes i am i wasn't running a body when it did that though there is two spot's in my front yard that it seem's to grab to do it or it will just spin all i can think is the tire's are lighter when i get a chance i will record a video

 

[rampage idiot]

Cool gotta see this!

 

[Guest]

You know, now that you said your going to make a video. It is going to be hard to get it recorded. LOL

 

[454chad]

yeah i know it but i will try my buddy was rite there too wish i would have did it then lol

 

[krashkrieg]

I guess with the right traction conditions it is possible, but probably will be hard to reproduce on video. 4wd wheelies are very hard to achieve from what I've read over time.

 

[Deluge]

With the right suspension setup, you can get anything to wheelie.

Where is the video

 

[Gas Jocky]

This is an old vid I took back in the first days of the original V-1 Redcat MT's,

in my opinion they only wheelie given a bit of help cause they are a tad heavy lol. Had at the time the most powerful engines available along with numerous pipe configs. Excuse the Photobucket quality, it seems the sound track has divorced the video since this was posted. About 1:45 in you'll see it.
