well he has a revo and wants wheelies outa it lol
the first thing i would reccommend doing is to buy a decent temp gun. Keep that motor at temps around 230-250. As you mentioned, you are a beginner and may not be able to tune by smoke power and sound. However if you would like to avoid using a temp gun here are a few things to look for when tuning.
1. Is there good smoke. as long as there is a decent amount of smoke coming out of the engine throughout the entire powerband, you will greatly reduce the risk of damaging your motor.
2. Is it lean bogging/"rich" bogging. Lean bogging will be if the motor is very lean, and the low end will be terrible for the most part, if it is way too lean, the overall power of the motor will be bad. The other extreme would be if it is bogging from being too rich. If you can see raw fuel coming out of the pipe, and the eninge is very slow to accelerate and loads up very easily then your motor is most likely too rich.
3. How does it sound? idealy you want your motor to have a good crisp sound on take off, nothing gurgly etc
If you want more wheelies, get yourself a clutchbell with less teeth and a spur gear with more teeth, and if you are on pavement a good set of road rage tires from proline.
The whole tuning process will be made easier with a temp gun, however dont get too caught up in the temps. For example if your motor seems to be running rich at say 230, try leaning the high speed needle a bit and dont worry if it gets to 250-260 as long as there is good smoke.
