Default Wraith wheelbase

Do I have seen people mske the wraith into 13.5" wheelbase but I am wondering what everyone's take is on making a wraith into a 14.5-15 inch wheelbase.

Do anyone have pics of this

The wheel base on my wraith is currently at 14 inches and that is mostly due to the flipped links. What perceived benefits are you trying to get by stretching it that far?

I also have the shocks as low as I can go as well. Don't forget that the taller your wraith is the more the arc of suspension travel comes into play. For example at full droop my wheel base changes to 13 3/4.

I thought mine was 15" I'll see if I can find a tape to verify

Its only 14 maybe just slightly over 14. Also flipped shock mounts over.

I can get my scx (on 1.9s) up a couple stairs but the huge low skid on the wraith makes it impossible to do any big breakover stuff, adding wheelbase makes it worse

maybe with some taller tires.
i could possibly see making my own links to stetch the wraith to 15-16" for sand running were breaking over angles matter none

i havent attempted carpet stairs yet. i think they might be postible with some english and useing the wall to come over the stairs at an angle
