Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith
 

Thanks bud that helps a lot really!!!
I have been running swampers for some time now. I cut every other lil lug in middle for more forward bite plus it cleans out better! Now I have them all gone but larger lug in center, I'm thinking this will improve in both areas. I got claws on the way for more clearance for the wraith & continue using swampers in higher speed lower stance situations...

Those look good. I'm sure they hook better now. You'll like the height and grip of the Claws but you'll miss the longevity and durability of those TSLs. Don't part with them.

Pro4 finally chewed up her bearings
 

No complaints at all. Good old NMB bearings lasted a year or so of entertaining abuse. Awesome motor.

Guess I can mill some goodies while she's down.

Something in my pants just moved!!!!

Those are beautiful"thumbsup"

Xr width?

Cutting aluminum. Use 2 flute end mills if can. Much better results. I guarantee.

Are those last two posts what thread spam look like?

Anyway, finished up my drag link arm. This one shouldn't bend.

Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith
 

Yep, cool stuff still going on in there. I'll check back later.

Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith
 

Looks great! I'll bet the spine will add a great deal of strength.

Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith
 

You've got me curious about using something similiar to get the tie rods up above the axle a ways in hope of keeping them from hanging up on the rocks and etc..

How are you liking it so far? Got a pic of the complete front end with that on there?
