I run 35% on my rigs, anything higher and it's ENDO CITY.

Did you trim the driveshaft pins?

You can if you like, I normall trim the plastic a little further instead. That way if I lose a pin I don't have to carry a shortened replacement.

Well just watched the video and have a question....how much force (ft/lb or Newtons your choice) did you apply to the tire when trying to remove it?

I kid I kid! lol Excellent video and just placed my order for a set of those beadlocks. Thanks for the great review on it.

How is your stock motor holding up with the different gear ratio and does it have a fair crawl ratio? What are your thoughts on the AX2 Transmission? Will you still be running the BFG on this wraith?

Motor is still doing just fine. Crawls adequately.

I don't see a reason for the AX2, a good brushless system will slow crawl and have plenty of top speed.

I will be changing the tires, but not right now. When the budget allows I will look at the options.

Do not forget the cost of hubs. Not ordering them right away is simply a waste of shipping.

I assume it comes with at least a pair of plastic hubs?!?

Probably, but like I said, you need to order the VP hubs.

I did that same cage mod last week. I like the way it looks.

Is the roof on it?

My wraith has a similar cage mod but the upper bars you cut off are just bent down and screwed into the side of the bed area bars.
