Week 9

Frakke · 08-01-2013, 02:20 AM

Really really really love what you're doing here!!! Excellent work man!! Wish we also had some shops of aftermarket parts over here in Belgium. Would be doing the same then

I can't wait untill you start making the hood mod. Also be curious on what's the best option. At this moment I would cut the hood off at the side of the rig. So the entire front goes open. Am sure you come up with something different. Like I said...curious

That was a unique experience for me.

Thanks again Harley, The rig is coming together very nicely.

Thanks for going along Rick, it allowed me to still have a worthwhile video while I'm stuck away from home.

Now I just have to figure out what I'm doing for next week!

Gears and transmission for next week just a thought. Just a idea. Great build.

I have played out a bunch of options. My spreadsheet has things scheduled out for the next 11 weeks, I move some things around here and there but so far I have done pretty well sticking to my plan

You are doing a fantastic job and it helps the rest of us tremendously. Especially us people north of the border. We all really apreciate what you do and the time you put in. Thanks again.

I had that conversation yesterday. I would really like to try the sticky version of these tires so I am trying to hold out for them.

Harley · 08-01-2013, 12:29 PM

Trying to figure out what other possible upgrades I can plan for in the future. Anyone think of anything beyond what I am listing here that fits in the $50 and under range?

CMS Vanquish $16.99
Top Shaft Super Shafty $24.00
Motor Plate Super Shafty $24.00
Panhard Vanquish $25.99
Foams Crawler Innovations $27.90
Trans Gears Hot Racing $29.00

Other axle related things like link mounts, bearing caps, diff covers, trusses have been omitted in expectation of someday running Curries.

Where did you get the Holmes hobby motor? I can't find a link for it. Google gives me lots of choices but none even close to under 50.

He was still waiting on stickers at the time of the video. You can email him at Sales@holmeshobbies.com and he will get you taken care of if you don't mind a non-stickered motor.

Otherwise they will be on his site anyday, Holmes Hobbies LLC- Your Source for Power!

How about some lighting or maybe some knuckle weights or weights in general

eric113 · 08-01-2013, 02:01 PM

What about freq skinz ?

Knuckle weights could be an option. I really like running them on my Hit & Run Wraith.

I do plan to add lighting but I wouldn't count lighting in the cost as I see it as cosmetic and I am not adding cosmetics into the cost.

Same for Skinz, being cosmetic I'll leave them out of the cost.

guyst · 08-01-2013, 02:42 PM

Lights for night driving is not an option...

I think knuckle weights made my wraith half again as capable as it was before them.

Agree, huge difference. High speed stability over rough terrain is MUCH improved.
