Default How much HP/Torque is required for a wheel stand?
I've been watching a lot of different wheel stands, and am wondering how much power it takes to pull one off?



I'm not talking about THAT much of a wheel stand, just enough to lift the wheels a few inches off the ground.

It's all in the suspension.

Not as much as you think it would. Espeically with weight reduction, rigid frame, and the right suspension setup.

+1 Most wheel stand cars you see don't really have a whole lot of power.
