OK so I picked up the new Shock Towers from Jerry at DMG and let me start by saying the quality of these things are sick. My brother is a certified welder and freaked out on the awesome welds and craftsmanship put into these.

Here's a side by side with one of the stock shock mounts.

Here's my Wraith sitting at the stock stance

Flexed out suspension

Here's a few pic's of it installed with the electronics box still up front and battery moved up front. Plenty of room and easy to install.

A little trimming to the hood and shes set

So with in a few day I'm going to see how it performs and do a little TESTING so keep an eye out on the results.

Thanks Jerry

Saw these shock towers the day Aaron got'em in the mail. I was very impress. Amazing quality.

And it was funny as hell watching Aaron ripping in to the package seconds after the mailman droped it off. Like watching my 5yr. Old on Christmass morning!

Got some new parts

Metal Tran's gears

13.5 T brushless motor and RS1 Tekin esc

Psychomonkey RC · 10-03-2011, 03:00 PM

How is the Tekin and 13.5 working for you? I'm thinking about tring the same combo.
Sweet looking rig, love the skins.
Thanks for your time.

The 13.5 and tekin motor are awesome I've only had a chance to run it for a few minutes but I'm liking it so I'm sure something's gonna break now.

Hittman · 10-10-2011, 05:38 PM

I think she has a little bit of torque ehhhh?

dubAron · 10-16-2011, 02:50 PM

I stripped out a C-Hub the other day did a little damage. I guess it's time for some universals.

Added a windshield for a little scale touch

El Rushbo · 10-16-2011, 07:44 PM

Nice looks great. I been thinking about doing the same. Such a simple piece can add so much. Awesome pic of the front end, looks sweet with the shock hoops poppin up through the hood.

Hittman · 10-16-2011, 07:47 PM

Wow that c-hub is messed up

. and also nice looking windshield, it looks cool.

absolutly dude, anytime. looks great, your doing a helluva job

dubAron · 11-12-2011, 07:58 PM

Okay since this 13.5T brushless motor keeps snapping stock lockers I hit up highlandcrawler for some lockers for this beast. I exchanged a few Pm's with hims and the next day they were in the mail with a tracking number. Once I pulled them out of the package I was amazed by the quality of them. I ordered the 4-40 hardware so I had to drill out the diff gear which took all of 2 minutes. They bolted right up and fit perfectly with no problem. I highly recommed them to anyone that is running some serious power if there's any question on this product feel free to drop me a PM and ask away. Thanks again highlandcrawler
