    Tires with good traction and a fairly stiff rear suspension is the key. I've had a few wheelies with 1/8 buggy tires and a stiffer rear suspension setup. This truck really isn't a wheelie machine but can sometimes do them.

    i dont know what altitude your at but im at 6600ft so i am running with 18-20% less power then sea level, so you could have it tuned perfect for your altitude but still not get the max power advertised

    Screw the spring pre load all the way down in the rear end. That is all I gotta do to get wheelies, especially when it hits second gear. It is fun for about five minutes, then it's time to re-tune the springs! lol
    It's only money right?........

    The stiffer the rear springs the less sqwat and more of a gyro effect. Tighten your pre-load up all the way and give it a shot.

    Yes there is a slipper on the trans, but it's not like a regular slipper with a spring for the tension. The ones on the slayer uses two conical style washers instead of a spring, so there is a fine line between tight and loose. You have to set it just right and it can be kind of finicky. If you have it set right and loosen it 1/4 turn it'll roast it from slipping too much, a 1/4 turn tighter and it'll be too tight.
