Can confirm wheelies for days on 16/52 ratio. Thats what I used to run. So long as the motor is tuned she'll be sweet ?

Okay great for feed back, but don’t want it pulling them as soon as you pull throttle with this set up does it just pull them if you ragg it from stand still but not if you lay off throttle though please?

Likely depends on the engine and tires your running.
Back when I had a weaker engine (OS 21RG) and stock GT2 tires, I ran 15/52. It wasn't that fast, but it would wheelie pretty easily off the line. Then I put in a LRP28S3 and ran 16/47, but had issues keeping the slipper from melting, then ran 16/49 which put a hair less strain on it, but it was very wheelie prone. Eventually got a 47T steel spur, BP diffs and tightened the slipper to nearly tight. Then an LRP30S2 with 18/47, but took too long to get up to speed, slipped the clutch too much. I think I'm back down to 16/47 just so it's a bit quicker to get to top speed without laboring the clutch so much when I run in grass, but it does wheelie like an idiot.

Interesting as I’am also running 16/47t Combi with a .26 Picco (needs further tuning though) & new clutch fitted with no interest in it wanting to wheelie with dirtbone tyres on.
Just fitted my new wheelie bar & was looking forward to pulling some wheelies! ??

I’ve got a 16/47 combo on my Nova right now and it seems about perfect. There is a lot of weight at the front of my truck with the 300cc tank and it helps keep the truck planted unless I rip the throttle from standstill. Otherwise, the front stays down pretty well which is what I’m after with this build.
