My Wraith

[greencrawler]

I've been slacking on the updates
I installed the rear steer stuff yesterday as well as mip drive shafts. The previous owner must have put red loctite on the drive shaft screws cause 2 of the set screws I had heat to get them to get them loss, the other 2 I had to drill out after breaking 3 Allen tools

Finally got to drive it some today after getting my new rx for my 4pl and got it all programed, thanks to Harley
after about 10 min the slipper is slipping way too much so now I get to tear it back down and tighten it up or lock it down one
Enough of that here's the pics of where it stands now





still working on how I'll mount the spare

BAAAAAhahahahaha you were right Scotty he sure did help paint your newly painted skins!!! dido you should leave the paints out again and flip the truck to what side you want him to paint next.

Sorry for the bad info on the wheels, I was just repeating what I heard at Turkey Crawl out the side of my ear form Danny without really being over there to watch. I'm glad you went with the V6 respuns, their a great looking rim. You didn't tell the Mrs. how much they cost did you? They hate this stuff you know.

I'm glad Santie Clause was good to you, I must have killed a kitten or something cause I didn't get anything that wasn't made out of cotton.

Unfortunately she knows exactly how much they cost, that's why I had to sell my other set before I could get these

I'm not sure our table could handle another round of my son's art skills

Received a package today from East Coast RC with some new wheels

A BIG THANKS to ittybitty (Ryan) at ECRC for helping me out and getting the wheels to me as quick as we could
Now time to get back to work

[ittybitty]

I really liked seeing those wheels up close before I sent them to you. Your rig is looking great...looking forward to seeing the wheels mounted!

[joelKID984]

the paint accident is pretty damn funny...hows the painted frame holding up, does it chip easily... and i dig the new wheels.

[greencrawler]

I haven't got to run it yet got the wheels and tires mounted last night and it was raining and mine isn't water proof and I had to make an 10hr trip today so it will be tomorrow before I can really play with it
hopefully will get some time on it and some action shots very soon

[team3six]

Great job, at least your having fun and in the end, that is what it is all about.

Got the wheels and tires mounted finally. I add 3oz of weight to each front putting the wheel / tire combo at 10.25oz each

I think they turned out looking pretty good but I'll let you guys be the judge of that

[greencrawler]

The cage took a pretty good beating on my practice course and held up very well
However, the XVD's didn't hold up to it
thats the 3rd pin I've broke with less than a battery pack thru it. I think its time for some universal shafts for the front

[JimmyJam]

Those wheels are awesome Scotty!!! I like your choice in the black rings! I finally decided on CAC wheels for my rig. Hop over and see what you think. Cant wait till next Sat.. Comp time ol'buddy!!! Yeahya!

[greencrawler]

Thanks James, I wish I was going but the wife has business trip that weekend and kids have ball games so I have to be here but Hopefully I'll make the next one

[SamuraiTrapper]

beautiful rig!!

[FauxMako]

What kind of paint did you use to paint the frame? How is it holding up?

[eulerk427]

Nice looking rig. Put some super swampers or some roklox on that beast. I have the roklox 2.2's and love them.

[greencrawler]

I got the wraith out this evening and fixed another broken axle and ran for another 5 min and broke another one
time to get rid of the XVD's and get some Axial universals
