Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

I received a PM from a member here (reeve2007) about a week ago who had seen one of my other builds and asked if I'd build him the ultimate Wraith for his intended use. So after a few PM's back and forth bouncing ideas around we came up with a plan.
Yesterday I started receiving parts, here is what we have so far...

Vanquish goodies...

Hurry up! How much more do you think it will weigh than a stocker?

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

I'd say about 3lbs.

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

Good choice in shocks and liking the memory foams. I'll be yanking the crawler innovations out of mine and putting in pro line memory foams

So what kind of build are we looking at here? Wraith? Tuber?

Whatever it is is starting out very baddass

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

Ewww. Memory foams.

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

It will be "mostly" a Wraith chassis.

I'm a big fan of waterproof grease, this stuff has worked great for me from RC cars to my dirt bikes.

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

Nice set up! Are those the Sealed ceramic bearings??

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

No, the standard Fast Eddy bearings.

Re: Spike's Ultimate Wraith Crawler build
 

I am no expert, but from vids and articles that seems a bit heavy on the grease.
