Update:
Well my Wraith is undefeated at the local Ultra 4 races
We are doing Ultra 4 races once a month now so we'll see if I can hold off the competition. I picked up a Mamba Pro and Tekin 4pole 3300kv to throw in so I can get more speed out of it. It's not needed for Ultra4 as I'm doing great with what I'm running now, but I'd really like to be able to get a little air under the tires once in a while.

I haven't made any real changes (yet), I did have to replace a lower link as I bent the hell out of one, along with a universal and an axle case (it was a major hit) but I was smiling as I carried it back to the pits, and that's what matters most

pffff, you wont be able to hold onto first for long!! I couldnt believe how much damage that "little" fall gave your wraith on New Year's!

Glad you got it back together! Cant wait to get back out!

Very nice lookin Wraith. I just bought a set of the same wheels and am thinkin about narrowing them, do you have any pics of them in peices or advice on how to do it properly?

I've been lookin at mine and don't really like how the rear beadlock is plastic and uses self-tapping 2.6x25mm screws to hold it all together. Looks like if I narrow them I'll have to cut out part of the plastic peice where the screws hold the whole deal together....I'm worried the screw holes will strip out and I'll lose tire beads easily. These wheels look great and I love the offset and plastic but...................................

No pics of them in pieces, sorry. They are narrowed down to 1" and yes you do remove some of the area that the screws thread into I was worried about that too, but I haven't had any issues at all yet I did run a very small drill bit all the way through so the screws didn't have to fight through the plastic. Here is a pic of the back side of the rim. You can see the screws go all the way through now



Hopes that helps

Thanks for the reply and glad to hear that they work well, I just mounted mine up last night non-narrowed. I may narrow them later, want to see how they do wider first. A friend has some 1" wide CAC black delrin beadlocks on his, so we'll see how the two widths handling differs.

Been a while since I last updated my thread. These days, with Ultra 4 Racing, the quest for power is on. So a few weeks ago I picked up a CC Mamba Pro and a Tekin 4pole 3300. Wow this setup is incredible, it has more torque than you will ever need and has enough top end I can hit the doubles on the local track With the new power in place I was able to chalk up another win at the last Ultra4 race. so that now make 3 in a row and undefeated [:0] (bring it BEOTCHES) Jrad and I also changed up the paint to make it look more like a 1:1 Ultra 4 rig. I was able to finally finish the sides of the fuel cell too. I have never been more happy or impressed with any R/C I've ever owned.

A few more recent pics

Dang lookin good...btw if you ant smaller screws, use # 0-80 screws for small panel attachment, maybe interior pieces, they are smaller than some of those you've been using.
