|  **The Chaotic Wraith**
I have had my wraith for quite a while now. I've only had it out once so far, but will definitely be getting out more in the coming weeks! Specs are: Integy 35t v11 Cc bec Hitec 7954 servo Thunder power 65c 3s lipo CAC ez locks Proline tsl's Freq e skinz are being created as we speak Axial scx10 aluminum shocks with soft springs Chaotic Crawlers Titanium steering tie rod and draglink! Chaotic Crawlers Titanium upper and lower links!!! The links really changed the appearance of this rig! I think they look spot on when it comes to scale appearance! The shocks really helped the look of this rig as well! They lowered the ride height to were I wanted to be and they look a lot more scale than the stock shocks! This rig will be more for crawling than bashing, but it will definately see some drunk driving at our night comps!!!  Onto the pics...       |

Looks awesome... I ordered those same wheels. Can you tell me why a lower ride height is preferred? I would assume that higher ride height would help with clearing objects wouldn't it?

A lower center of gravity is preferred over huge amounts of lift. Clearance shouldn't be an issue once the shorter shocks are in place. | |

The truck is more stable when it's lower, plus it's not a comp rig, so you don't need to make it a break over machine!(not that it would do it anyway) I have found that my driving style with this rig is more horsepower based than anything!!!  It's a point and shoot rig!!! |

I found out tonight after my first outting that the power of the stock motor was good, but there were times where i was blasting down a straight gravel road and I wish I had more top speed. So im going to upgrade the motor soon I think. Last edited by PUREVIL; 08-02-2011 at 11:01 PM. | |

It's really up to you on the rod ends. We put that as an option for convenience to the customer. Some people might already have rod ends, so there is no reason for them to have to pay for another set. The stock motor is pretty weak! I didn't even drive it stock! I immediately swapped it out for something better that I had laying around. I didn't have any extra money at the time, so the v11 motor was just something I had laying around. |

love the look of your wraith. I was wondering if those wheels will work with aftermarket knuckles.

That is one nice ride there! Do you have any videos of it? Or with the lid off?

No updates to post. I've been preoccupied by my comp rig, our new bodiless chassis, and getting ti links back in stock! I am still waiting to hear back from freq e skinz again. He sent me some proofs, but I wasn't in love with the colors, so I sent him back to the drawing board just over a week ago. I also don't have an rx for this rig at the moment because I switched to a 4pks recently. I know... I suck! |
