stage 2 conversion?

[mike31]

I have looked and read up on the integy stage 2 billet conversion kit. Seems like even though its cheap in cost its not worth the money? Is there a better full kit than that out there? I saw STRC had a limited quantity kit last year (cant find anyplace) and vanquish has their link kit (pricey to do with c-hubs, lockers, and knuckles added in). Or should I just piece it all together?

Vanquish, you only need to buy once.

OK if I go vanquish and piece it together.....should I do steering and c-hubs/locker/knuckles first or do the 10 piece link?

Sorry, new to wraith spawn just took it on rocks for the first time today for about 30 minutes all stock except battery relocation and flipped mounts on a 3s lipo. I assume first thing I need is steering links and horn with some shocks with a little longer travel but limited to a point after today. then start upgrading when I can or what I break. Yes going to the crawler side. servo seemed to be strong enough but steering link gave to where the tire on the rock wouldnt turn but the one in the air would.

Try taking a look through this build.

i would do lowere first. from r2j or look into a full r2j kit. i run just regular old metal links not titanuim and they have held up for a year. to me 90 bucks is far to much to pay for links.

no matter what i would break then replace whats broken.

knuckles probly first on the list then tranny gears and drivelines

R2J is on hiatus for a while, he's in the middle of moving If I read right.

Do you have dial calipers?

I'd be willing to make a full set to keep Mike from spending uneeded coin. I need to know the measures for the u per links.

Though I'd run the uppers slightly longer to correct wraith pinion angle and even more so on the new poison spyder. Pinion angle is horrible with flipped shock mounts.

Thanks guys. I went ahead and order full vanquish stage1 and full link kit. Thanks Harley for the link. I'm going to take it as an example budget and fill in guide. Going to get axles/shafts taken care of next then start adding to on in somewhat order from your budget and bulletproof guide.

Just as a heads up on axle shafts. There has been an issue with the universals lately. So you may want to look into the VVD's.

Axial Universals.... Mysteriously breaking....
