START YOUR BUILD THREAD. We expect to see pictures of you and your rig climbing some terrorist rocks.

Thanks a lot Brian, when my pic goes up of my rig, it said it has to be approved by someone, you will see what I have into it. Thanks so much for everyone's support. I know Eli and I will have quite a bit of pictures to add . Thanks envy one for helping out, no matter what you send. I appreciate your guys' support for us over here. It's is what helps me at least feel like I'm still at home in my rc work area tinkering on my rigs. Again I can't thank all of you enough.

Wow you guys are all awesome. Thank you guys for helping us out so far away from home.

If any of y'all want to chip anything else into the pot, no matter how big or how small, get it shipped. It doesn't have to be RC stuff either. Trial mix, jerky, sweet Cajun fire, and stuff like that is always a big hit too. It looks like we're going to end up with two sets of wheels and tires. So we'll be hooking his buddy up too.

For the record, the second set of tires are brand new 2.2 Rock Lox!!!! That'll be all you smice60.

That works too. I can stretch that a bit with some of my friends. PayPal is brian at brianfalls dot com. I can get really good deals on STRC and VP.

So.... Eli.... If he sends cash, what parts could you use/do you need? STRC Alloy Shock Mounts?

[crawler nut]

^What else do you guys need? I'm sure if I call VP they'll hook me up. Also what other parts are you trying to gather?

Sent $25 your way. Find out what the man needs and get it to him

I'm going to post a link to this thread on my club's facebook page ans see if anyone wants to donate as well.

Holy crap guys....lol this is awesome. Eli and I can't thank you guys enough. If you could locate a droop kit, Eli would like that. Now me...I love green which is awesome for the rims, but aluminum 4 links green would be amazing. Then once I can order my green aluminum axles I will get body panels and put graphics of the hulk on them. That will be the final name for my wraith, the hulk. ;)

Do either of y'all need some STRC Shock mounts? I have a two brand new sets (one set per axle) for one of my projects. I could send them, then replace them with the money sent from PayPal. They are really nice. I read through Eli's build, and I didn't see that he had upgraded lower link/shock mounts. smice, I don't think I've seen your build thread. So I have no idea what you do/don't have.

I have a metal gear Savox. It's not the top of the line. I think I paid around $75 or so for it. It's been a while, so I can't recall for sure. It was acting a little buggy, so I took it off. That was a long time ago though. ...before I understood that I needed a BEC. It may just be that it needed a BEC... I'm pretty sure that's the case. I suppose I could do a full bench test on it. I run all high end Futaba and Hitec now, so I don't need it (assuming it works). I forced it to articulate, and the gears feel good. It's way better than stock. It has 250 (ish) ounces of torque per inch. Just make sure to hook it up to a BEC if you're running lipo. Speaking of which, do the Wraiths have BEC's? Seeing as y'all are mechanics, I'm assuming you have access to soldering stations of some sort... is that right? Do y'all have a Castle Link to program your ESC's?

All that to ask... do you (smice) need the servo? If not, I could find another home for it. Eli certainly doesn't need it. His hitech is WAY better.

My wraith has the following done:
MIP driveshafts
RR trans gears
Aluminum c hubs and steering knuckles
20 LEDs. Two blue interior, 4 front white, 4 roof light buckets, 4 underneath for under glow, 4 amber marker lights, and two tail lights
I used my uniform patches for an original "paint job". Also used them to make a bed.
2.2 mud slingers with axial rock star beadlock rims

I have a spare brand new Castle Link sitting in my drawer with the USB cable I can throw in.

Ship it! Unless they say they have one.

You're awesome Crawler Nut! Thanks for being so cool!!!

[smice60]

Eli has gun metal STRC parts. He does not have the shock mounts. A spare servo would be welcome. Yes Eli has a bec but I do not. We can solder things also, we'll Eli can..lol I'm not very good. Ill add more pics. I'm also using a xl5 esc with the stock motor. Wanting to put a sensored brushless in it. I'm going to try and talk to castle and see if they can set us up.

I could throw in some STRC lockouts for the rear instead of those shock/link mounts. You choose buddy. If we could get another $25, I could send both... I would pitch in more, but I've already spent quite a bit. My wife is all for it, but I can tell that spending more would cause her to raise an eyebrow. LOL Gotta keep her happy.

Anything else? Do you guys want the castle link?

Eli has a castle link thanks though. I got one at home but don't need one because I have the software on my laptop and Eli has the link...lol
