Wheelie Poppin' Fun

Almost every RC truck owner likes to pop a wheelie now and then. Even beginners can do wheelies. And with practice and the right RC, some drivers can do almost all their driving on two wheels (and I'm not talking about RC motorcycles either). Watch a few monster trucks do some monster wheelies.

• HPI Wheely King
  Does it live up to its name? You be the judge as you watch this monster truck strut its jumps and wheelie action in this HPI commerical.
  
  
• Squatch Hunter Wheelie
  Take in about a minute of beginner wheely action from an E-Maxx.
  
  
• FG Monster Truck Nitrous Oxide Testing
  Got the greed for speed and more power like me? This nitrous setup ought to fix that problem. The only drawback is that it probably costs an arm and a leg and that is something my wife definitely won't go for. Watch it pop a wheelie from a standstill as easily as it does while on the move.
  
  RC Traxxas T-Maxx Wheelie
  Talk about horsepower -- this RC can go almost across the park on two wheels. T-Maxx has been favorite of off-road RC drivers for quite some time. I can see why.

Now that you've watched all the videos vote in our poll and tell us which statement does not reflect what appears in these videos.
