Keep your wheelie bar low to solve the issue...
If your wheelie bar is low, once you wheelie, the bar will hit the ground, and bounce the car back onto its front tires quickly. This effectively solves the issue for straight line drags, BUT if you use the car on courses with many turns, or other than a standard oval and straight line, this will NOT fix your problems, because everytime you accelerate on turns and out of turns, the wheelie-ing will just send your car into the wall/barriers. The wheelie bar is really a BitDra-G mod.
FYI: ZipZaps fit 2 cells completely underneath the PCB, with only one modification (cutting out the latch area for charging port docking lock). The centered weight of the dual cells, negates the wheelie effect. There is a dual cell Bit mod that fits both cells beneath the PCB, but requires ALOT of chassis modification. The original cell is moved back and will actually sit over the rear axle well, allowing for more space for the second cell to fit (follow?). The finished product however hides the cells completely beneath the PCB with no cells exposed. Definitely advanced mod.

ok thats easy
i believe the best gearing to use, that is if you are racing on 22 foot long track, would be 8.25:1 because although it doesnt accelerate as fast it reaches a higher top speed and to use soft tires

a nice mod would probably be to replace the magnet with a circle of metal that way when u try to steer back in it goes slow and it doesnt get sent right of the track also i think it would work cuz the electromagnets atract metal to

I use kit racer front plastic whees/tires on the front spindles. I believe that they came from the RPM, MPH/KPH, and, I think, the ENERGI versions of KIT racers. They reduce rolling friction and steering. The steering is just enough to make the car easy to keep on line. By the way KIT racers are 3.88 clearance at my local Target.

One useful and easy mod is to use the pullback rear wheels!
They are wider and slightly smaller,for better acceleration and for 6-7 bucks you get another cool body and even front wheels if you want!
Plus some rims designs are kick ass!
just my 2 cents

Heres my drag car. I did the 2-cell mod and made the chassie about 1/2" longer so wheelies aren't a problem.The best part is now I can use slot car bodies on it with a little modifying.

A 2 engine, 4wd, Quad Cell mod would kick @$$ for BitDra-G. No steering, no wheelies. Perfecto!
