How many cells are you planning to run? The c50 should have plenty of power to wheelie, but the long chassis and plush suspension will soak up a lot of the torque (that is what it is designed to do). Stiffer springs will bring back some wheelies, but shouldn't be necessary. I can lift the front of my g-maxx with no problem (lower and as long as the SM). Traction may be an issue as well.
