I'm running my buggy (frankenstein's ride hyper 7) with some lead on the front bumper to avoid wheelies. the problem is that its a normal, short buggy chassis, and with the truggy wheels I get wheelies on full throttle, as soon as the torsen center diff is locking. some weight in the front helped a lot, because the faster you go, the more wind lifts your buggy. still, I get wheelies sometimes (like 50 meters, off-road!!).

next step would be a proper and aerodynamic shell, and probably a front & back wing for more downforce.

regarding the timing, I don't know if 0 deg. is the way to go. usually, higher timing causes higher rpm's and power output. but the torque is decreasing the higher the timing is, and 15deg. might be too much, and the motor is missing some torque for that extra speed. even that it's just guessing, have a try with 10 degrees.

another idea, maybe you make a new throttle-setup with the esc, just to be on the safe side.

and hey, awesome revo!
