I got a dumb question. Is that a working winch with an axle mounted servo? If so, so you get any binding or rub when it flexes??

[gec]

Yes, its a working winch, its a Bulldog 9300xt from RC4WD and it does need a little work on the winch plate to clear the large servo horn.

[Crawllife]

Could you elaborate on what you had to do? I don't want the chassis mounted servo. It would be huge if you could help me out here! Ill have to re read the thread to see what bumper your running. Thanks!!

[gec]

The bumper is on my sons Wraith and it is from MG200 Designs, this one in the link,

Thank you soooooo much!

Got my new BGR T2 bumper and RC4WD winch fitted up today, here is a pic.

I fitted some under body lights, getting ready for a night run.

Man those lights are bright, what ones are they? You and your sons rig are sweet. Also, are you running any foams?

[Steelfish]

love the landscaping on your pics, hello from Mexico,

can you tell me what differences did you found on performance, stability, etc, etc, between your rockbeast II and the stock r35 ripsaws?

Im looking to change my tires since my ripsaws are really soft and dont run good on fast speeds (I know they were made for rockcrawling) so, Im looking for some tires that are good for rocks, trailing and semi-lose sand (desert pack), if not the rockbeast tires Im considering the 2.2 mudslinger too

Sorry I missed this post mate, the lights are from HobbyKing, they are the waterproof strip led's.
Thanks for the compliment on our trucks and yes, I'm running the foams that came from the Wraith kit but I star cut them, Thinking about changing them out for some C,I, Double Deuce foams.

Sorry I missed this post also mate, don't know what happened!
I cant comment on high speed stability as my rig aint that fast, but on the rocks I found the Rockbeast II to be much better than the R35 Ripsaws.

I have done a few more mods to my Wraith and thought I would share, I wish I was as skilled as some of the guys on here, but, Oh well I'm having fun, aint that what its all about hehe.
