Here's my newest rig between buying, selling, trading on CL & RCC over the last 2mo here's what I have so far. this is what my 2.2s 5th dimension Sucker Punch rig morphed into.. Kit Wraith CC sidewinder V3 CC 4Pole 4600kv motor Hitec 5995TG servo 416oz Racer edge servo saver All steel geared trans MIP drivelines Level3 lowering kit Axial alum shock/ soft springs (losi Grey or Axial Black) Alum wheels for now Pro-line TSL SX super Swampers 2.2 tire CI OLD DD foams D-lux sway bar kit CREEPERBOB Titanium rear axle shafts (in the main) VP Scale knuckles & Chubs Full set of Titanium links upper 3/16" & lower 1/4" tie rod & draglink 3/16" (in the mail) HPI Apache cockpit I think that's it... this rig is a BLAST to drive running on 2s for now Found a really cool guy on RCC made a deal for this Full set of Titanium links & steering total cash cost $5.80 and a few parts This guy did a killer job on the titanium links thanks buddy.

My rig handled really good @ the U4RC race last sat. well it came home in one peace looking forward to the next race. I wasn't really happy with the alum wheels I had to heavy IMO... So I sold them and went with Crawler Innovations 6 Bolt wheels and 600 VP hubs, with this wheel combo I lost 0.5LB. Besides CI 6 Bolt wheels having a cool look they also look stout enough to take some abuse time will tell. Last edited by tapped-out; 07-05-2014 at 03:55 PM. |

Hack it up! Once you do it, it's done and feels good. If you don't like it you can always get a new one. |

How's that ESC/motor work for you? My SW3 and 4 pole 4550kv thermals in like 5 minutes. Never had a heat problem with a china ESC, until it burst in to flames |

| Re: Tapped-out's wannabe U4RC Wraith
it works fine. I now have that SW3 esc motor combo in my honcho plan on using it as a FOFF rig. I'm now running in my wraith a Castle creations sidewinder SCT 3800kv motor 5mm shaft combo on 3s 15t pinion 54T spur 32p so far all is good. I've ran about 5 2650 packs through it. |
