You can see wheelies around the 1:00 mark and around 1:45

When the engine is at its peak torque range (around 3/4 of the rev range) it will just point upwards, especially if you have your battery pack at the back. I had to relocate the batteries behind the front shock tower to enable it to stay planted and better the weight distribution, the 3.3 engine is pretty heavy for the Rustler so moving the batteries is advised.

have you snapped your drive shaft yet. i snapped the stock ones then i snapped 2 pair of the metal ones(dog bones).

Oh yes, yes i have, i have snapped both stock and aluminium CVDs, but that was due to having the clutch very tight which was a mistake on my part. The Rustler drive shafts and aftermarket CVDs are unfortunately too brittle if you dont set the clutch loose.

I'm a noob...how did you move the battery pack to the front?

[SHAWEAGLEBOI]

i have a rustler 3.3 too
