| Re: scaleready wraith hopefully it performs as good as it looks. my c3 prior to this one was a very tweaked out stocker wraith and it basically went wherever i pointed it. the scale points i'll get with this rig compared to the stocker wraith should equalize things a bit... and the full steel axles should also keep my cog pretty low. |

got the chassis and axles soaking in a little corrosionx to prevent rusting. i like the patina of a raw tuber thats been taken care of, as of now i got no plans on painting or coating it. i soldered everything up and whipped up a little el-cheapo lexan electronics plate that sits between the front shocks. 2 screws and 2 zip ties and the whole thing comes right out. the mmp is underneath with the fkysky 6ch rx, heyok winch relay, and castle bec on top. will be pretty clean once i spend a little time getting the tangle of wiring tidied up. |

| i dunno if ill have it ready for tomorrow... but im trying! i still need to tear timmy down and rebuild the trans now that i got the supershafty replacement pins. speaking of, great customer service from those supershafty guys, and the bombproof trans i got from them for this build is smooth as a babies ass. good stuff. |

my little camera on my cell phone sucks. either that or im just an idiot with it... anyhoo, its ready for a shakedown run tomorrow at a nirc gtg. seems pretty solid, link geometry feels good. not digging the gmade piggybacks, waiting on alloy shock caps for the xr10 shocks im going to replace them with. i need to finish off with the scale detail stuff, dremel some wild willys dudes, and wire up the lights. really hope i can get some lockedup wheels and use some iroks as well. got a new body coming. dunno why but i keep coming around to a southpark mintberry crunch theme... |

That truck just screams beefy. What lockedup 2.2's you thinkin' about? Get his "solid" wheels and I'll do a one-off design in them for this rig.. Or something.

You like the solid wheels? No design? I thought I was the only one. | |

I still can't believe just how well put together this rig is, the geometry is perfect. You did a hell of a job with the SR chassis. |

it feels real good to drive. stays low and slingy. its gonna be real nice once i get it all fleshed out.

It's nice to see this chassis finally getting built. Was getting bored with giving mark crsp for it sitting on the shelf! Lol Looks super! How much does it weigh in at, ready to roll? |

i have no real accurate way of weighing my rigs other than standing on my bathroom scale. its definitely over 10 pounds, but the cog isnt suffering too much since those axles weigh quite a bit.
