Default Current Wraith owners, 1 Question.

What kind of terrain and driving styles are you currently enjoying the most with your Wraith? Describe the spot or area where you have had the most fun so far.

Eagerly waiting for mine, every time I'm out hiking or driving, I find myself spotting potential Wraith spots

It's early days yet with mine and I am still working on the final setup.I live on 12 acres so there is a variety of terrain-800 yards of gravel road,a couple of shallow creeks and enough steep spots to try out the Wraith's climbing ability.It is such a great truck I even like just looking at it on my workbench!

ive found stock, it dosent really shine in any department.... haha its too tipsy for high speed and a bit clumsy for crawling, however after some mods i decided it made a better crawler....

im enjoying the trail runs in my videos you can see for your self..
it just doesnt have the low end toruqe to do slow crawl stuff..
without over heating the motor.
have get used to bumping the throttle and kinda jumping or hopping
it over slow steep stuff,then hit a stretch of trail to air it out and back to
the rocks.

1st runs..
wraith koh trail


me and tuffguy..
2 wraiths k.o.h.

I like it more for bashing and jumping. I'm not concerned about low speed crawling. I have a crawler for that.

with a few mods, it crawls well. and putting the shocks in the hole where they sit the lowest it handles speed great! i like min for a mix of fast driving and then go straight to the rocks and have a little fun. \

I cant wait to take it to the beach here in a week and a 1/2!

I sent my Timberwolf/el Porco down the road and the Wraith is my new Class 3 rig. Can't beleive I tried to compete with the T-wolf this past year. No comparison with it and the Wraith, which is light years better!! Great Class 3 platform for sure!

I have been using mine as a scaler for the most part with a bunch of add on to make it better. I also use for bashing with a different set of tires. Weighted PL super swampers for crawling and a set of rpm wide wheels with rovers with no weight for bashing.

I got my son one. He loves it he seems to enjoy loose gravel sand mix the best uphill or on flat land. Fishtails all over. And poppin wheelies/cuttin flips. His idea of rock crawling is full speed at rocks an SLAM into first few ,bouce some then full throttle through the rest. I just shake my head. I will be getting one for myself that's for sure.
