I want my wraith to be a more capable rock crawler. Here is a list of things I have already done. Poison spider diff covers,vanquish steering links,vanquish upper and lower links, a hitec 333 oz servo, a Traxxas 12t motor,goat 3s esc, flipped the shock mounts,mip drive shafts,running 2s,stock shocks with kit springs,and proline super swampers (soon to be pit bull rockbeast IIs) on proline Titus rim,geared 9t pinion and 60t spur 32pitch,and a WB of 14". What else can I do? Thanks in advance.

If you're just going to use it for crawling then put the OD gears in the front diff.

Stock ring and pinions are 38/13. The O.D bevel gears are 36/14. So the front end pulls a little more. Makes it climb and turn awesome. Be careful though if you do much high speed it will eat pinion bearings. Keep a few on hand and change them as necessary.

High speed runs with over drive front will eat pinion bearings. I have an under drive rear and run 6s in the sand and 4s basing around and have seen no accelerated pinion nearing wear since under dtiveing the rear |
