Do not try to do a wheelie, man. if you do one most likely you will break the axels. Follow what fasterthanu said. I know from experience my friend drive a lightning and its going well into the 12's now. The first run we had we just held the brake then revved it to 1600 RPM and floored it and man he was spinning his wheels all over the place. no traction whatsoever. The best way is just to hold the break rev it till low 1000's then when u feel the wheels grip good floor it works all the time.:ylsuper
