looking good how about some action

boulder 08-08-2011 07:18 PM

I thought you were originally going 16T, guess I must be thinking about another thread.

Yeah I made a typo. Hehe got a 13t. ;-)

boulder 08-08-2011 08:07 PM

Gotcha'...I ordered an 18T, my thought is to go for torque and less wheel speed...I guess if I'm wrong on the combo I'll get another motor...

chicklet 08-08-2011 08:11 PM

I wanted to retain speed. I have a slow crawler for torque ;)

boulder 08-08-2011 08:17 PM

Nice...My thought is to go to 3S if I want to pick up some more speed, the stock speed is cool with me for this rig, but I'm in the market for a new or used really fast one if anyone is selling...just for grins, ;-)

chicklet 08-09-2011 05:23 PM

I have another Wraith. Don't know if I want to sell it RTR or part it out. There a few pieces I'd like to keep for my scale build.

Let's talk...I'd like to get another minus motor, esc, servo and radio so I can start doing something different, not sure what yet.

chicklet 08-09-2011 08:45 PM

Sounds good. I will let you know if I decide to part it out or not.

Bulldog 08-10-2011 01:11 AM

Sadly enough, I need to sell/part it to recoup the money tied up. I can't have 2 Wraiths :cry:.

chicklet 08-11-2011 02:07 PM

More goodies came in:

nice goodies!

you got a "chicklet" wrap in mind for your wraith? :mrgreen:

chicklet 08-11-2011 08:11 PM

I actually painted the panels. They look like they have a ghost paint job. I hope to have more put together tomorrow.

And the fitment is spot on! The covers and lockouts are installed. "thumbsup"

Rockthrasher 08-12-2011 08:44 PM

Your Wraith is looking great, chicklet! Can't wait to see the paint job. Ghosting is always a cool effect. "thumbsup" The diff covers are a nice touch too.8)

Thanks Rockthrasher!!! It happened by mistake. No painting skills here :lmao:

fastfred28 08-14-2011 11:25 AM

Need new pics "thumbsup""thumbsup" I wanna see the new paint job!!

rdcobra 08-14-2011 11:38 AM

Looks great Chicklet! You should have a nice, unique piece when you are done.

chicklet 08-14-2011 02:54 PM

Thanks guys! Working on shipping out Wraith parts from my sale thread...I hope to have my Wraith put back together and running this evening. I will shoot some pics.

Erbing 08-14-2011 05:29 PM

Waiting to see this beast"thumbsup"

chicklet 08-15-2011 08:15 AM

Now I need to test and tune. I think the chrome wheels don't go too well with the red/black scheme. What do you guys think? We'll see how the plastic holds up with the HH 13t/3s combo. Maybe some VP wheels are in my future. I have to paint my homemade battery tray black so it blends in. I shoo-gooed the front light buckets together because I lost a lens and cover in the first 1.5 run(s) :lmao:. The width of the axles and Rockbeasts is INSANE! I need to measure it. Also working on the links, ran out of rod ends lol.

This rig is a blast...I'm really having a great time with the build! "thumbsup"

Those wheels look sick with the extra screws in then.great Lookin rig."thumbsup"

SC Convert 08-15-2011 09:21 AM

Those rockbeasts are awesome tires. Beware... They eat weak servos.

Awesome rig! Hope mine turns out half as good.

Erbing 08-15-2011 11:21 AM

Very nice, those tire's look mean. Does the BRXL fit in the stock location?

swood74 08-15-2011 11:34 AM

Very nice the wide tires look nice....now tell me how they perform!!

SC Convert 08-15-2011 11:47 AM

My 3 year old daughter picked mine up and said " ooh soft!" running mine with pitbull 2 piece foams on rc4wd steelies using 3s fed 17.5t sensored tekin redline heavily boosted w/ 18/80 gearing and they hook up quite well crawling on wet rock Or at speed on dirt.

Harley 08-15-2011 11:56 AM

Looking good! Looks like it should be a pretty solid performer with the upgrades you've done.

I like them. Thanks Brain Dead ;-)

CarterFab 08-16-2011 09:50 AM

Looking good young lady. You know what would make those blinged out wheels look good? Some aluminum panels. Maybe just a roof. Liking the paint a lot.

chicklet 08-16-2011 10:26 AM

Thanks angryone! Yeah I'm really digging your panels. I'm going to trash my stockers and upgrade when you're ready to sell ;)

CarterFab 08-16-2011 07:55 PM

Got you taken care of young lady. Can't wait to see them on an assembled rig. Lol
