What did you do to your Wraith today?
 
Post up what you've done to your Wraith! I've had threads like this in car forums and they are fun to read. The rules are simple if you've done anything to your Wraith from a complete tear down to a wipe down, share it with us!

I'll start, my axle bearings have been squeeling like a pig so I tore them down and cleaned the bearings. Next step I will be trying some bicycle grease to keep them happy.

I drove mine all over the place. Even found a large construction site and worked it for at least an hour. Awesome and didn't hurt that it was in the 80's today. Love my Wraith.

Picked up a new servo horn for it. Might decide to go ahead and install it yet tonight. Also got some advice from Harley on what direction to go replacing the lockers, so tomorrow I'll order those up and that will be enough attention to pacify it for a few days.

HR Lockers huh?
I followed his lead as well and they are pretty well made as opposed to their other stuff.

Oh, Put some new CAC Aluminum wheels on.

Experimented with larger tires . Didn`t care for it`s drivability , Nothing that a bunch of money and time couldn`t take care of ,but NAH , just play with it till it breaks.
I`ve had these kind of threads on some Jeep sites , Interesting at times .
At least the Wraith threads are busy..

Re-attached the roof AGAIN after almost completing my battery move to the front, also tried to correct the tow in issue I have at the moment.

Same as trialbuyfire posted above. 1.25 deep with .450 spacers. Running stock soft Ripsaws. I got the shallow wheels first but they barely rubbed on the front tie rod ends. I like the looks of the deeper ones better anyways.

Thrashed it with different wheel and tyre sets to establish which ones to use as and when.

RTR Ripsaws on lightly weighted AX10 Beadlocks, very good and grippy, suits dry and dusty forest and trail runs
Proline Super Swampets on 3oz/1.5oz weighted Proline beadlocks, soft, squishy and perfect for the rockier areas.
Losi crawler wheels and tyres unweighted, my general thrash around the gravel car park wheels.

Soldered leads to an Integy Pro V11 35T motor that I will install in it this evening with a 32p 58/13 gear combo. I'll pull the body panels off this evening too, as I have an idea for a sort of wrap for them that I'll do tomorrow. Haven't seen it done yet, so it should be interesting. Reflective flourescent yellow.
