Tapped-out's wannabe U4RC Wraith

[tapped-out]

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.
(you know who you are.) just finished installing them, will test this rig tomorrow @ the U4RC track @ Glen Helen Devore CA.

See you today be there by 1pm..

[Frankenwheely]

Good luck today. Can't wait to see that thing in person.

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.

[Rockpiledriver]

Good choice. I like those wheels a lot.

[axial 4x4 crawler]

Very nice, those wheels will add a nice tough to that wraith

Quick shot of wheels mounted.




New hood & VP diff cover in the mail

I heard your rig was pretty sporty as well. Lets see a build thread puddin.

Those wheels are going to be the game changer.

Dave's rig is really sporty, he made some smart cage design changes.. and some 1 off killer sway bars. I need to sweet talk him to do the same to my rig.....
I'm scared to cut the cage.

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

[tapped-out]

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.

How much run time do you get with this set up?

Depends with my 2200mah 3s on my track 15-20ish minutes of racing/bashing.
