I raced the RCpro finals with that body with no issues
not sure of the noise unless it is the dif noise which of course has been fixed since then, that is an old video.
John, no matter how much power you have or tire choice it seems like the dif is locked up, if the front tires come off of the ground all the power should transfer to them and bring the front back down. In fact the more power you have the quicker that should happen. Are you sure it is working properly? looking at your truck and not seeing the front tires ballon makes me think something is not smooth with the dif. If you hold the spur gear with your hand and twist the slipper nut the front and rear wheels should rotate opposite. Check and see if this is how it is.
so just to clear it up. the truck only does wheelies when i come off a jump ledge when theres crazy momentum or a bump flips the front up. yes the front wheels do stretch out and its not like i can do wheelies on demand. But as far as the ops check you are telling me to do u want me to hold the spur gear, then twist the nut holding the center diff assembly with a wrench and see if the front to rear move opposite from each other?
