Wheelie Bars - RC-Monster Forums

sluggie24 · **Wheelie Bars -** 02.22.2006, 06:29 PM

Just thought everyone would like to know this info. I have read alot of people asking about what is a good wheelie bar to get. Here is the place that I got mine from: http://s91887143.onlinehome.us/wheelie_bar/ It works great until you get to the power level my truck has and then you just flip over the wheelie bar anyway! I sent an email to the guy asking if he could make a wheelie bar that is 1 1/2" longer which should prevent even my truck from flipping. I will let everyone know what he says and the price.

CHC- I agree on that on. I've been thinking of making one up. I have Dace wing mount shock towers so I was thinking of utilizing those 4 hole for the wing mount to bolt on to for support

What about the adjustable wheelie bar that comes on the new 3.3 Tmaxx? The traxxas part number is 4975

Thats for nitro, BL can break that wheelie bar in no time:)

It is kind of short. I don't think it would do much on a strong brushless. Mine leaves the ground some times. Looks like you pick up and throw it across the yard or something.

It works really well and havn't been able to flip the truck yet.

Wow, i was thinking that myself,guess i wasnt the only one...i think whoever made a drag wheelie bar would get alot of sales from brushless customers.

Anyone wanna get into drag wheelie bar manufacturing?

I guess it wouldnt be a wheelie bar since it would be made to keep the car from doing wheelies at takeoff...the anti wheelie bar

Anyone tried this one? I have the revo version on my e-revo and it is pretty decent. I can almost just punch it and go when I have it adjusted down low. Its pretty long on the revo and the height ajustments are pretty versitle. I can amlost get it low enough that when the rear end squats under power the wheelie bar is alomost touching the ground and I can get almost full launch power. On the revo it mounts just to the bumper mount and it leaves it pretty flexible, which is nice for having a little give in it when you stand up. It almost kind of catches it rather than just hitting a rigid bar that it might flip past.

Anyway. I think its pretty decent. Better than most.

LIKE THIS but on an rc car

Great for fast take offs... But it would suck for jumping. You would wind up bending it it in no time.
