| More crawl?
I want my Wraith to be as crawl set as possible. This week, I put XR10 wheels (weighted) with panther tires from my wifes truck on my Wraith. 100% BETTER! Seriously. I've ordered a set of XR10 wheels. What other mods can I do to lower COG or make it more crawl capable? I'm planning on moving my electronics around to fit my battery under the hood. I'm thinking of trimming my Ripsaws. I saw mention somewhere of flipping the lower shock mounts. Is this good? I'm looking for mods to the excisting truck. Not big purchases. Any small tricks basically. |

What gearing are you running? And if you want a great tire get some pit bulls. Night and day difference

I'm running 87/14 gears. Those Panthers are gripping sweet. Was thinking of Sedonas just to be different. |

Flip rear shock mount, move battery to the front, find some softer springs and give your suspension some droop

You can also buy a droop kit or just make your own. And like you said moving your battery to the front will be better.

Flip the shock mounts on the axals shafts and move the shocks the the most inboard holes or just get a droop kit and softer springs.

Droop? Explain kit vs do it myself.

Droop is when your shocks are nearly bottomed out at ride height...you can establish it my some shorter springs or just loosening your threads on your shocks

What kind of trick is used to mount battery up front. The first slot in front of the cab. I'm using good sized batteries
