| Thanks bud, yep, just glad I didn't knock it over. Ruining a $1500 Canon 60D SLR setup would put a damper on my day. I'm a film editor and I primarily use Final Cut Pro 7. I did this one in FCPX, which was a tremendous letdown for my business needs. Still does good work with small projects that go straight to YouTube like this one.

So the tires were that bad huh? I've got rock crushers on the way that should look good, but the tread pattern is close to the mil spec. I dont do a lot of rocks, but I want a reasonably capable truck. PS sweet looking rig. I dont mind the 1.9s. Very scale and not really that small. Looks like lots of people are running iroks. I might try putting on my scx10 iroks and seeing how she runs. |

Wanted to get a couple better shots of the fuel cell. Also, started work on my driver. It's a Wild Willy body, but I just couldn't bring myself to use that awful head that comes with it. I got in touch with James French over on TamiyaClub and ended up buying all his super-detailed heads. I'm going to start a new thread detailing the process. That said, they're amazing. |

| Wish I could put the stock tire on, but in the process of baking them off the wheels, I had a little accident. But, check the 2nd vid. I threw my 1.9 IROK's on and it helped immensely. Check the thread later today to see what came in the mail today. |

I think I'm calling this one pretty much finished. Mickey Thompson Baja Claws back on the CAC EZ-Locs and my finished driver make this build IMO. I might get a few items, but I like my builds clean. I'll have to trim the front fenders so I don't get the rub that seems so prevalent on all my rigs... I also got a new lens today for my camera. It's a 50mm 1.4 and it's my new best friend. The shallow depth of field is AWESOME. | ||

Couple of updated pix, and a question for you all. I just upgraded my SC10's motor/esc, and have a 3300KV Reedy brushless motor and XP SC450-BL Brushless esc and I'm wondering if this might be an interesting upgrade. Thoughts? |

that is the stock sc10 esc\motor? not good enough for sc10. forsure not the wraith. Wraith is too heavy and with another axle to turn=heat.

I reckon that's about the best Wraith I've seen so far. Looks great.
