Re: how do you steer a wheelie?

You have to give it several tire rotations, before it will start turning. the only reason it turns is because one tire gets squished and smaller in diamiter so as it rolls it turns and it takes several feet before it tracks in a diff. direction.

Re: how do you steer a wheelie?

David don't give up!!! Drop your tire pressure in both rear wheels to 4psi. Then wheelie it and see which way it pulls. Adjust the pressure accordingly. Meaning if it pulls to the right drop the left rear tire pressure do the opposite if it pulls left. Once you get it to run straight for miles then you'll be able to lean with it and take turns on the freeway @ 60mph:YEAH Once again don't give up and soon you'll be able to wheelie until your gas tank is empty
