    I can do wheelies with 19/90 and a 9.6nimh, easily.
    The harder I bash, the more I can upgrade.

    I run the VXL system in mine, use 1/8 buggy tires and 2s lipo and cannot do wheelies. No matter what gearing it just will not do it. Just for fun I even tightened the slipper down and still no wheelies. I have no idea why but mine will not do them. My merv will do them all day on 2s and I can say they are only fun for a short time and then it gets really boring and frustrating, to me anyway.

    If you have good traction (tire grip and clutch set up), the velineon motor on 2s @ 19/90 will do wheelies all day long.

    How are you breaking wheelie bars if you can't do wheelies?

    Just wondering, you guys pulling wheelies, are you running stock tires, and stock springs? Mine doesn't, but if I put a bunch of preload spacers in the back (Stiffening rear suspension) it barely lifts the front, but the tires just throw a roost and don't hook too well. Also, what terrain are you pulling wheelies on? I'd think tires, rear suspensions, and terrain all play a big role here, not just motor and battery.

    I run the stock bfg and the stock springs. I do it with spacers and with out them. For you guys that cant wheelie but you have tried,... what kind of surface are you running on. I do it on asphalt and pavement.
