How have you lightened your Wraith? Aside from cutting the back half off the cage, how do you lighten your wraith? I think my pig needs a diet - would love to hear from the hackers and testers!"thumbsup" |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? Making the seats into Swiss cheese took care of some high weight for me |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? I'm interested in this too. I actually thought the Wraith was pretty planted already, (I've done the standard free lowering and set up my suspension in droop). I love swiss cheese, I couldn't make things out of it without eating it. Does cutting holes in the seats really take away a noticable weight? |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? Just remove one the seat will amaze you how heavy it is |
Swap the seats to Team3Six style. You can also cut the lower bars (skid plate mount) and raise the skid to the bars above it. |

Like doublej said better option would be thin sheet similar to the 3six plans that were offered up. The stock seats are heavy and drilling them out made a noticeable difference in weight, no numbers however. Good idea about moving the skid up, hadn't thought of that "thumbsup" |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? Any pics on moving the skid? Not sure what you guys are referring too. |

Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? Thank you! Those look great. |
Tell him in the thread if you haven't, he put alot of info/pics up not me :mrgreen: |
Another way to lighten is to look at your battery. If you are in a comp with a time limit you do not need to haul around a 5000 pack. A 2200 or 3000 may suffice based upon time limits. |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? Cutting the cage is not much of a weight savings, but does help it flex more in the right spots. You want all the weight just in different spots then you may have it in. If you want it to climb well. |
Move tge battery to in front of the dash. All electronics in front of the battery. |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? i have heard about moving the skid plate up, but won't that lift up your COG quiet substantially? |
Re: How have you lightened your Wraith? I too am interested in this skid plate mod. Please expand. |
