my new wraith (progression)

[evan03]

Man your rig is looking awesome.

You have good tires mounted I recommend you tune them instead of getting a new set. Pits can be awesome in dirt snow and mud and work better on the rocks. They just need tuned like all things to get the best out of them

[crawler nut]

Oh I know they work. The new tires weren't to replace them, just to use in the snow. Iroks are wider and do work better for that, but yes the pits work everywhere.

[evan03]

Pit work well on the rocks stock.

For me the didn't do well in the dirt or mud. I opened them up some not quite sure full southern cut zed they now perform much better every where

[crawler nut]

For what I do they work great. Not gonna cut up the best tires I have. That's why I want another set. They pull lines that some of my comp tires can't. I think I want iroks for snow just because of the width. I just want to personally test the boggers on the terrain I have around here.

10/4.

What if I send you mine to try

[crawler nut]

Tour what?

[evan03]

Tour what.

I'd dismount mine from my locked up wheels and send the rubber your way to test along side stock pits.

I got my Wraith two weeks ago and took it to away with me on the weekend
REALLY getting in to all these build threads, so many options and upgrades

Shocks is next thing for me

I'm good. Even if they work better, I'm not cutting mine up. Makes them look horrid. I bought my claws to cut.

1 of my orders showed up today. Now I need to find a small hose so my driver can hydrate and wheel at the same time. Man he ain't got no time to stop for a beer, so why not just drink and drive? Right!!! Haha

[crawler nut]

Really, really thinking about getting a set if the 2.2 tsl xl's. They look f'ing sweet and aren't that much wider than the pits. I think with my power and a good set of ci foams they'd be insane on my wraith. We shall see. Still kind of fond of the boggers though.

Is that 2s lipo, mah? How did you get it so low and clear the tranny input?

That is a 3400mah 3s hard pack. I trimmed the interior a bit and put the spur cover back on. Its tight but it fits and keeps the weight nice and low.

Pits seem to be fading lately.

The new tsl seems wide. CI foams will create sloppy sidewalls. Curious what foams come in the new xl. I don't know of a proline foam sized for a 5.8 tire.

Yes the tsl should be a good tire probly better then pits.

Yes I like my normal sized tsl more theny my pits. They flat just work better.

Hoping the bigger tsl brings the height advantage and holds on to the small tsl qualitys.

Yes I'd most likely do some hacking on the xl rubber.

[crawler nut]

The new tsl xl just uses over sized memory foams. Better than the pits? Idk about that. The pits are one of if not the best performing scale tire there is. But I'll just leave it at everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Anyways, got some parts today and had some fun. Man this hardware totally makes these wheels. The hood and roof fit great as well.

Thanks, any better pics of how it all fits down in there?

[crawler nut]

Not at the moment. I'll try and get some for you.

Thanks!

Started making new side panels since I want to keep some color on her for now. Trying as hard as I can to match the king blue. We will see how these ones turn out. I'll be patient this time and let the paint dry before I stick them on. Also have a black Currie front coming my way in about 2 weeks when they are in stock again.

Nice.

What brand 3400mah 3s hardpack did you buy?
