    Tip over? huh?

    And I'm obviously no expert on drag racing, or the physics involved, but when a powerful, rwd car takes accelerates quickly, does not the front end rise off the ground?

    Again, I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just curious. I've driven fast quads before, and due to my ignorance, they have nearly tipped due to me giving them too much gas.
    The less than 100lb engine is also directly in the center of the quad with you sitting on top at the highest point of a short wheelbase.

    You can't do wheelies without traction. Street tires are not going to provide enough traction on that thing to do it, especially with the engine all the way up front.

    What everybody else said lol
