i think mine's ready.. i went ahead and did some gear changing since i'm running a torque master. went with a 84t spur and 14t pinion. still have plenty of speed and a better low crawl. also swapped out the stock drive shafts to a set of MIP's

80t/20t = 4:1

84t/14t = 6:1

EDIT: found out that the spur was bent and ran untrue.

went with the stock 80t and had to mod the motor plate to run the 14t pinion.

80t/14t = 5.71:1

Received a package from Chaotic Crawlers today! Really digging the new tie rod.





Also mounted up a second set of TSL's to some V1's not sold on this set yet, I may go back to the ATi's

But neither of us have VP knuckles.

Looks great. Details on the boatsides. What is the material? Do they join the frame down low or just sit tight against the rail. That really cleans up the look.

fitment was great!! minor adjustment with the rod ends will give you the right toe in/toe out. if you crank the rod ends all the way to crazy tight then you would have too much toe in.

there's also plenty of diff cover clearance at full lock right to t left.

.020 aluminum. they are pretty basic. they bolt on with the two body panel screws and bend toward the bottom frame rails.

well i can without a doubt tell you that this wraith really brought the fun back in crawling for me.

took it out today to give it a try and it really surprised me in how capable this truck is. oso will have some pics and a video soon so check back.

all i have is this shot of it after today's workout. dirty and only carnage to report is the tattered texas flag.
