After these mods it started making the noise. I took it apart and it all looks fine. Bearings only have 2 runs on them and all spin great. Defiantly coming from tranny area. I also just changed from the stock gearing to 15/87.
Hi, I am new to the wraith, (new PS should be delievered tonight) and I am going to move the battery to the front. Where did you get this tray for the front? I have seen the one by Dinky RC for the back, but none for the front. Any info would be great.

Thanks

Another quick question for you. Do you know if Da Box would interfere with the use of the VP CMS kit?

It's just exactly 8 lbs without the battery. I'm putting pitbull rock beast II's on it tomorrow though so that might make it a little heavier. But as it sits in the pics exactly 8 pounds.

Not exactly sure but I weighed it before I did all the aluminum upgrades and it was just a little under 8 pounds. Not sure if it was with or without the battery though.

Oh yeah, it's a never ending process. Now I'm thinking I need some leds up on the roof and some tow shackles on the new bumper. I just cant decide on a roof light bar. I'm thinking probably the 5" one from Vanquish.

Wow. That turned out really nice. I just got my Wraith days ago and already started changing parts out. It's really addicting! My bank account will hate me!

Mine really hates me lately. I've gotta slow down here on it a little. Spent way to much in the last couple months. I've got all the real expensive done now though. Chassis, axles, brushless system etc. Now I'm gonna do some scale stuff, mount my electronics a little better probably a light bar on the roof and then who knows after that. I have a DC bronco body on order but I haven't heard from him in 3 weeks so I don't know what's going on with that now.

Thats the only thing I'm worried about. My wraith is on its roof alot. I'd like to have one that mounts under the roof somehow. Or something.

Here's a couple more poser shots. I just put in a set of pitbull rockbeast II'S and some crawler innovation double deuce medium foams. They actually support the weight of the truck unlike the foams in my old tires. I haven't driven it with the new tires yet. I hope they work as good as people say they do. I still need to get a video of it but it's been cold and raining so far this weekend.
