here is my pro pulse with a custom wheelie bar that really works. i also show you how i got it to stay on. all i used was a wheelie bar off an old micro rc that got in a bad wreck, and used the smallest drill from the xmod tool kit and a screw off the micro rc.

You couldn't have put it anywhere else, but on the lexan body? Seems to me the lexan will just crack and break over time and whoops...there goes your wheely bar.

Creative idea, but wouldn't it serve it's purpose better on the plastic chassis?

Depends on tire wear, surface, tempeture, so much. My Revo never did wheelies when tuned, and other's had trouble keeping it off it's lid.

Revo is also AWD ;). I cant keep my Rustler's front tires on the floor.

Get some where grippy, reverse, forward.

And... that wheely bar has no structural support, no way it can help counter wheeling.



Finally fixed mine. New diff gears, integy heat sincs, and a 30 min charger! Dual motors is INSANE with this

Yes, but with locked center (or lack there-of) diffrential, so it's equal power.. It's more the Revo is a BIG truck weighing in at almost ten (10) pounds..

Here's a trick for traction. Heat up some Grape Soda, pour it (evenly) on the pavement, let the sun bake it for an hour, then go try wheelie-ing (or wheelying?) or Endo-ing.
