Since we went out I got a Holmes BRXL and 21t Torque Master,
Steel tranny gears, 32pitch spur and pinion, SLW wheels, MIP shafts, and baked off the tires. Man they stink when you heat them up
Still waiting on some sweet DMG tube work

Can't wait to see how well it performs with all the changes it was working great for you last weekend

Yes your right it looks great stock

But half the fun is working on them

The lower links are lunsford ti links made for the losi comp crawler, they where spare parts and seem to fit good.

Thanks Matt


Thought the bed cover need to be painted again, didn't think the black looked right. Also had to make the seats black the lite gray didn't go with rest of the truck after changing the color.

Love the front wheel dance at 4:46.

Thanks Pdog, that was fun. We sure moved alot of dirt down to the bottom of those hills. Maybe next time I'll make it a full day with out breaking something, and may even learn to drive while I'm at it

That stock motor didn't last long on three cells.
What brushless system did you install? I noticed the stock plastic drive shafts on my truck were starting to twist after installing the HH Torque Master, you should get some MIP's before yours start to do the same.

Man, that thing looks great. I wish I had bought one the day that Pdog did. I am now regretting not buying it. Guess I'll have to sell something so I can get one.

Really like the stance and look of it with the rear of the cage cut off. Nice work.

Yea shortly after hooking up that 3s the motor started going down hill fast, truck still has some of that nice burnt smell. Got a rs and D3 17.5 to try but after seening your HH setup I'd say ill seening going that route soon. Gadget had some MIPS need to look up what part # I need and see if that's what he has. You get urs yet?

Yes I got my MIP's. I broke off the tip of my driver in one of the set screws on the stock drive shafts. They must have been welded.
I'm gonna have to cut off the front output on the tranny to get it off now. I ordered the Steel output from Highland crawler as well as the no slop lockers and he sent me a tracking number within 30 minutes...that's what you call great customer service.
Here is the link to the MIP's I got from Tower.

Your wraith looks great. Do you think outboarding your shocks has helped? Are you running losi gold spring? What weight of oil are you running in your shocks?

Not noticed really a positive or negative from the outboarding of the shocks. But have not got to really focus on the suspension just yet. Been some other kind of issue everytime when we just get started. Did notice my rear started kicking up after the last changes to rear which the main one was going to softer spring. Pdog said it maybe letting the shock bottom out hard causing this to happen when I go to hop over a log or rock, so that will be the first thing ill try changing when it back up and running.

Yea those are losi springs on it now with 30wt oil. Was running axial black springs the losi are alittle worn and feel softer. Going to start back with the axial black on the rear and go from there.
