Hello, what to say ..... it's just the most beautiful I've seen Wraith. Original, exclusive and great achievement. I can not find the cage BGR with the V on the front of the cage. I contact BGR but I had no response for this cage. It is unique and it manufactures in series? |

Awwww snap.... Fiona took on the Sheep. Sheep Mountain, that is... We didn't make it all the way to the summit. My front drive shaft fell apart on the way up. I found all of the pieces and put it back together. That got me another thirty minutes or so of run time before it let loose again. The second time around, I couldn't find the barrel that holds the pin into the transmission side of the MIP drive shaft. I ended up completely removing the front drive shaft and descending in rear wheel drive. While the video doesn't really do it justice, I'll just say this: Fiona almost died. I barely caught her on a roll over that would have sent her tumbling hundreds of feet down a VERY steep incline. Much of the trail has fairly steep and open drop offs. That being said, I was a bit 'sheepish' with my driving style. And yes, that pun was intentional! I used Windows Movie Maker to put the video together. All in all, it was VERY easy to do. Unfortunately, I noticed (after I uploaded the video) that I missed one of the transitions between clips. Still, I think it came out pretty darn good. I hope y'all enjoy my video. It was my first with the GoPro3. I'm liking that little thing. They will certainly be more videos to come! Last edited by TheScaleAddict; 05-24-2013 at 11:49 AM. |

I'll have to show you. It's really a nice hike. Plenty of fun obstacles to go G6'n.

| I don't advise weighting wheels. Too much strain on the drive train. I would suggest knuckle weights. I use Blue Monkey RC knuckle and lock out weights. They work great.

I wouldn't add an oz to my wheels. I'm putting Fiona on a diet though... She's been eating motors lately. Of course, that tends to happen... It's all part of the game. |
