wheelies?

how can i get a electric revo to do wheelies? what motor, cell count, gearing?

i am thinking feagio 8xl with 16 cells and i dont know what gearing.

Pretty much any BL setup can do wheelies..But what kind of speed? Runtime? Budget?

My Novak can do wheelies as far as you want in grass and on road

A lot of it also depends on the weight distribution and suspension setup. Stiffen the rear end and put the weight more to the rear makes it easier to wheelie. Although fun and cool to watch, wheelies obviously make steering a little difficult, not to mention hard on the rear diff...

im looking to beat most nitro revo's but the fun of wheeling down the street. and i will probably be using 40 series road rage and normal maxx size tires for offroad. and my budget i want to keep under 800 bucks but i have everything else but the electronics and i will have the stock chassis modded

Go with a Nue motor, and a Quark 125 and a UBEC. That would be a great setup and still leave some money for batteries.

How about no budget and you want to smoke any modded nitro Revo on the street for short drags only.

I am looking at the CF chassis but can't decide on the motor and battery setup. I will be running small tires and the lightest setup I can. There is just too much info on motors and batteries right now.

I only bash around the cul-de-sac and would like max power and speed for short bursts. The LST w/.32 I have is disturbing the neighbors.

The g2r is nice. The only thing about the revo is the stock diffs they have.
Mike is got some better ones coming though. The best IMO is the leher motor 19 series. The neu is just a little behind them.
The amount of batteries you run determines the number of turns.
I think lipo is the better choice in batts.

I think the Neu motors are better. At least thats what Mike said...

JB, that's an...interesting avatar. :dft002:

If money is no object, you could get an MGM160 controller with a Lehner 1950/8 and 6s lipo, such as two of the 3s2p 8000mah MaxAmps lipos.

will a novak hv maxx 4.5 turn motor let me pull wheelies like crazy or should i go with a 6.5 for the extra torqe (spelling?)?????

and what should my gearing be? i saw u can use a 51 tooth spur with the strobe slipper and what tooth pinion should i use? or should i use the stock 70 tooth? and i read the hv gearing chart and i dont get it????????????

I have a 8xl/Mamba Max esc on 14 cells in my evo and it wheelies like crazy. Its actually too much in the grass, the front end won't stay down. I have to let off the gas to turn. Street driving is more reasonable, but with the proline wing as a wheelie bar, I can ride wheelies into the sunset.

The top speed is prob close to 40 if a bit less. The orig 2.5r may have had a slight higher top end, but the accel with the BL is so brutal that its much more useful. I never find myself going top speed off-road (dirt.) Its just gets so fast for the MT that you're just waiting for disaster. What is nice is the accel is so good you can just line up a jump, blip the throttle and then zing off teh jump.

I have mine geared 15/51 w/ a strobe. The strobe is out of production, so unless you can find one you'll have to use a robinson setup or the like.

No matter what you get you'll prob worry more about trying to control the wheelies as opposed to trying to get it to do them

what chassis sre u using? im going to go with a g2r and its longer and lower, will this make a difference?????
