Well the wraith was getting to fat, so I put it in a diet. I took some weight out of the wheels, took all my scale goodies out of the tool box and got it down to 8lbs 13oz with out the batterie. Still have some to go, but don't know where else to shed the weight.

Second Ballistic Fab diff cover installed and finally got around to mounting my light bar. Took it out to play and broke my RRP output. I'll get some pics up later

Looks sweet on their axle.


Guess the Pro4 was to much to handle.

Glad they can be used. Ordering the Super Shafty 6mm out puts and a hardened center gear tomorrow. Also trying to find a good price on a Poison Spider JK body for my Wraith. I hate my stock panels.

Also really, really debating the King external bypass shocks. They would look sweet on my rig with a new body.

I was looking for that body to but axial sells it clear now and ckrccrawlers.com had some. King shocks do look good! Output are next on my wish list lol as well as much more!

I don't mind clear. After the out puts my rig is pretty well set. Still want a set of Pro Rocks though.

I may get a metal spur if I strip another plastic 1 soon, but that's it for the strength upgrades.

Get the 56 tooth 32 pitch slipper and the beefy top shaft to run the slipper set up. supershafty.com has the slipper and topshaft. Never have to worry bout that again and easy on the wallet and goes on the wraith or scx trans!

Got a couple parts today. Got the traxxas bushings to replace the outer pinion bearing and the outer c-hub bearings to help eliminate some slop. Also ordered some short 4-40 screws so I can run the narrower VP hubs.

Traxxas bearings installed. They replaced the outer pinion bearing and the outer knuckle bearing, and wow what a difference they made from the cheap ass stock bearings. Won't be blowing out pinion bearings anymore and they took a lot of slop out of the axle shaft and tire movement.

Small drain the paypal shopping spree today. I ordered the Super Shafty 6mm outputs, 6mm MIP CVD hub, RRP center diff gear and a Dinky fuel cell. Can't wait to get it all put back together and drive it again.
