The Wraith is a dirty bitch, getting a good cleaning, relube, and new tires. Might sort out a couple other changes too. |

I was really liking the broke in look of the stock tires. Going to take some work to get the R35's like that now without the brushless in there.

I always give new tires a thorough washing to get all the mold release wax off them. Hot soapy water first with a good scrub brush, rinse, then I let them soak in a Simple Green spray down, one more rinse then dry and mount.

I say throw the Brushless back in, do about 400 donuts at full throttle and 4ws. You'll break the tires in, and entertain the fan club. Solved.  |

Well I finally got the tires all mounted  The SSZ's look so damn good but are twice as hard to mount tires. One gave me a big fight but the other three were pretty easy.The truck is back to rolling, although it is rolling rough. I noticed it looks like I have 2 or three bent XVD pins now. I can't remember which ones are drill blanks and which were stock.  |

Can I suggest something Josh. Ace Hardware has Piano wire. I have had nothing but success with them in the teeny. But obviously the Wraith you have has a bit more torque. I only hope that SDSCustomz gets those 300's soon. Nothing against RC4WD, but I am really surprised that they made them weak in the middles and not as strong as I expected them to be. BTW, I have a spool and winch line coming to you now that the store is open again  | |

When you get 1.9's mounted up, can you post up the height of them ?

Harley can you post up a stock scx10 wheel w/1.9 ripsaws? With a stock scx10 wheels with 1.9 proline flat irons or 1.9 proline tsls to compare? Are the 1.9s the sticky compound?

Nice Build, I wanted to make a note about the CVD's from rc4wd. I have broke two pair so far as well as snapping the stock axle shaft off at the ball. I assume this is attributed to wheel weights, turning degrees and power. Since the last time I snapped an axle (about four battery cycles) I have removed all the weight from my Vanquish DH's and turned down the degree of turning ability.

The other problem is if you are running the stock steering linkage. The flexibility will force the axle beyond it's limits and then you'll break it under power. We do still need some improved shafts though. | |
