Fresh built wraith - want to set up for crawling

[youngquist89]

Just finished putting the kit together and trying to dial in the sidewinder with the CC link. First off heres my new set up-

axial 55t motor
sidewinder 3
bec
ar-2
6000 lipo zippy
ax10 beadlocks weighted super swampers, cut foam
moved battery up front
fast back cage
king piggy back shocks 110mm
flipped axle/shock mounts
flipped upper rear shock mount
aluminum lowers, upper in the rear, and steering

my first issue is shock tuning. i was thinking that i needed more flex but i think i need to focus on spring tension first. Ive got the shocks adjusted as far up as they will go without the springs unseating. Can i get softer springs for the kings or use a thinner weight oil? im using the axial 30wt. a lot of times i will get one tire on a log or rock from flat ground and instead of one or both axles flexing the whole front end lifts up, and the car has to "rock" before it will start articulating the axles.

i just changed the gearing to 19t/87t gears that i had laying around, so im hoping that will get me more torque from a stop. it was really weak with the 20t/80t stock gears




lots of cool info and mods ive been reading about on here.

this is basically exactly what i hope to build it like
