I'm really not impressed. I would keep the TSL's.

I wanted something good in the rocks. These are a U4 tire and not meant for crawling. The RB2's and TSL XL's work better for crawling. I am going to use these for the trail stuff I do anyway because I like the size.

Hold up! I may have found the trick with these. I run deuces wild in all my tires. They did not work in these. I tried some DD's out in the U4's and 110% better.

New parts arrived from TCS today. I'm really having a hard time with painting all this sexy BGR stuff black to stick with my theme. But end the end I am sure I will. Just have to figure out where to mount everything again lol.

You could have them anodized. That's what I'm doing with my chassis

I may end up passing this Wraith onto my daughter and Building another off of a BGR u4 race chassis. I need to talk to him and find out how it would work as a 2.2 chassis.

Got everything installed and it lowered it quite a bit. I like the hight but it looks like the CMS kit may have to go bye bye. I have my gmade xd's running in a droop with some aftermarket springs and the cms is bottoming out.

I had to put the servo on axle with lowslung gangster wraith. As its low it isn't noticeable but gives the extra clearance neededName:  uploadfromtaptalk1445538123846.jpg

I am going to try that but I had to modify the CMS to fit my 7990th. Have to do the same with the axle mount i'm sure.
