Integy "willie" Wheelie Bar

[Shaun]

Anyone Have Any Experience With The Integy Wheelie Bar? As I Have One On The Way But I've Been Hearing There Crap And Bend Real Easy!!

Lol funny you should mention it. I finally made mine work. They are more show than funtional. it will flip rite over. I bent mine today and mounted it up on the skid,it was the only way I could get it to work. Its been sitting in my box for a year or more. Racked my head showing my truck to some freind's yesterday, dalm os .30 has to much tork and I'm running 17/49 gears. So I made it work, was tired of sliding on my lid when i run on the street.
Have not ran it yet but should work.

 

[Shaun]

It Does Look Nice! But Were U Meaning U Had A Hard Time Installing It?

 

[Mondragon]

No it installs under the truck, where the skid plate mounts to the diff houseing. I bent the wheelie bar plate the opposit way and mounted it where you see it now. That isnt the way it is suppost to be mounted lol.

 

[Shaun]

Oh Ok!! Lol So How Flimsy Is It?

 

[Mondragon]

It seems ok just to short when its mounted where its suppost to be. Its more that it didnt work, than any issues on it bending, its about 4 mills thick. Try it maybe it will work for you

 

[Shaun]

Ok Thanks! Ya 4mm Should Be Fairly Strong!

wheelie bar

I had two of them never could get them to work at all no matter which way I mounted them works good on my 1/10 scale st but worthless on a savage

 

[Shaun]

Well That Kinda Sucks!! Lol As I Said I Have One On The Way!! Oh Well!

 

[Mondragon]

hey as soon as I get some fuel I will let ya know how it works. you could allways do it that way if it does.

 

[Shaun]

Ok Sounds Good! Thanks I Appreciate That!!!

 

[Mondragon]

Ran it today. It is the first time it has ever worked,long wheelies.

 

[Shaun]

Cool!!!! So What Exactlywhat Did U Do To Make It Work? As I Might As Well Mount It The Same Way, As I've Now Heard From A Few People That It don't Work At All The Original Way Its Supposed To Be Mounted!!

 

[Mondragon]

Pretty easy, I bent it back the opposit way. So i could use the counter sunk holes, to mount the screws flush.

I bent it by laying it with the bend up all assembled. used a large screw diver and hit it flush aganst the bend. did this till it was bent nice and even and it would bend no further.

Mounted it to the skid just below the last bend where the bumpers mount.

Works pretty good this way. You will still flip if you punch it and hold the gas. but easyly componsated by proper throttle controll. I can ride a wheelie all the way down the road np now.

 

[Shaun]

AWSOME!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE INFO I'LL BE DOING THAT!! LOL HERES SOME REPS FOR YOUR HELP!!:beer:

 

[Shaun]

Hmmmm I Was Just Looking At My Truck, And It Doesnt Have Those Two Screw Holes That U Installed Yours In!!OR DID U DRILL THEM YOURSELF?

 

[Mondragon]

Yea sry I forgot. I had to drill holes to mount it.

 

[Shaun]

No Prob!! Lol Thats Nothin To Just Drill 2 Holes!! Thanks For The Info!!
