Abuse! Not this truck! Muuwaahahaha...

Yeah, she's still killing it.. (My wallet and parts stock, that is).

I was worried about the front upper links as well.. I checked it all out before cutting off the stock skid mounting.
Plus I knew I had to buy new chassis rails. So win win.. Got to test it first, before cutting the new rails apart.

I did lose about 3/8" of compressed shock, but that doesn't hinder anything, that I can tell, so far..

I got this out for some run time, on the home course..

I need to get a bec back on this thing!!! Yes, you need a bec! ;)

This is one of those FREE mods, that you kick yourself for, for not doing it sooner!

Yesterday, this was a high center section..

I would of had to blip the throttle to make it, yesterday


Which leads into this "crawl".. Well, now it's a crawl!




Amazing!!!

Time to head in.. Up the steps..


If I would of started sooner on the lower step, I could of got up the next step!

Well worth drill 8 holes!!!!

Thank you much!
Keep your eye on the comp section for ECC, in Alabama, you can see it in person and run it! ;)

I'll get a pic up, when I get home.

I was looking forward to a new HH motor/ESC combo, in this beast..

Buuutttttt.. I was searching some info and found this for 43$!

So I'm going to rebuild the 3500kv HD for now, till I get back to work or this one blows apart too..

Tear down wasn't clean...

After hitting it with a toothbrush..

After a little more cleaning, I went for the Silicone conformal coating and started to reassemble.

Not sure if you can see the broke magnet or not, but here it is.

And assembled..


Now to finish up the Troyota and get this mounted!

Wow I just read though this build, and I have to say I love the look of your wraith. And I'm going to do the tummy tuck because it seems I get high centered a lot. Subscribing for sure.

Ohhhhhh yeeeaaahhhhh!!!!


Oh the joy!!! What a Blast!
Already out for a joy ride.. I'm never ditching this rig!

But now that the power house is back in action, I think I'm selling the ESC/motor combo and ordering a HH BLE and a 540xl!
I just have to try the new goods! ;)

Plus, it will be coming apart for the new chassis rebuild..

Hopefully updates sooner then later..

I took mine out the other day and I can't wait for Holmes to have servos back in stock mine is pissed. It's like a manual steering truck won't turn unless it's moving. Lol

I'm waiting for new stock too..
I think I'm going with 4ws on this, this year..

update.. ESC/motor combo, gone!
8 screws later...


New parts..

Just getting started..

To my surprise, up to this point, is all bolt together!


Most of the mods are in-between the parts that screw on! Saaweeeet!!!
BAM!

Now it's just waiting on the mail, finding the wing, and maybe setting up rear steer..

So the plan is to take the front end of the Bomber & put it in the EXO while putting the EXO front end back in the Bomber.
