It's no Atom
I think if he put a wheely bar on it, it was done for a reason....
In anycase, I think he should have built something to compete with the Atom.

Wheely bars on fwd
When you see a FWD car with bars, it's so it helps prevent weight of the car shifting from the front to the back. Or rather helps prevent the back end from sagging when the weight does get pitched back under throttle. Obviously this helps keep maximum traction to the front wheels. So, although the front wheels of a FWD drag car won't come off the ground, they will get less traction. We're assuming that this ATV (or whatever you want to call it because I doubt in it's current configuration it's seing much off road driving) is AWD. I'm thinking once this thing takes off the rear wheels are going to be putting the majority of the power to the ground. It's powerful, light, and I'll bet that under full throttle the front end would come off the ground.
I can't say for sure...just guessing. Perhaps someone who's seen this thing in person can elaborate.

I understand the purpose of wheelie bars on a FWD, I was just using it as an example. I guess we need to see a video with someone that's not a bit** driving.
