actually, the 1/10 on road tires were the most likely to pull wheelies. They gave the truck a higher COG.

If you describe the foamies as "drifter" style tires, then I have to assume its the surface you are running on that is causing the slip and ruining all of your wheelie fun.

The only other thing I can think of would be that the diff balls are shot and the gear in the diff is spinning out....but that would really take more torque then I think that little truck has.

As for the battery, listen to link. He knows better than I. I dont think a higher C rating will make a difference. I really think the slip you feel is the tires losing grip on the surface you are on. ....could be wrong, but that makes the most sense to me. I had that little thing doing wheelies on command.

I used a "bottom" line.
