Best wheelie bar

[Jeremy]

Hpi wheelie bar does't cut it

what is the best and what do you run ?

 

[ShiftPoint]

They make it hard to use the rotostart too, well with the big wheel.

I like crashes but it is home made.

Sorry SJ, I guess I don't know of any or cant find any better than the HPI one so youre going to either have to make one or go with out if it doesn't cut it.

 

[Jeremy]

yea probably make me one again

 

[Larsenracing]

SJ why do you say the HPI one fails. I'm very hard on mine and the first one lasted about 6 months or extream abuse. It still works but one of the little supports are cracked thats it.

 

[Jeremy]

yea it's strong that's for sure .. every wheelie I do .. just flips the truck over tho ( large wheel)

 

[Larsenracing]

That is a problem with it I guess. It needs a brake or something on it because the bearings really don't help it they actually hurt it. The wheel just turns to easy, I guess one thing we could do it remove the bearings and replace them with some nylon or something then when you tighten the bolt down it would creat friction and not alow the wheel to spin so freely.

Yeah, thats why I don't use wheelie bars on my savage. If someone finds one good or a trick to make the HPI one have more friction, let me know, lol.
