you should start bringing rocks back with you and built a little crawler course
it's always great to have a spot where you can test and tune close to where you work on your rig

Also running on the same spot really help showing result when you do change something.

definitely. when you build your course it helps to build lines you can't make yet so when you tune and finally pull one off you'll know you're getting better

Hello! This truck is getting a huge rebuild and the last of the wraith parts are getting phased out. If a mod could move this thread to 1.9 scale builds that would be awesome!

Parts on the way:

Edit: sorry about the picture sizing, forgot to make it small. Just a link for now.

Hello everyone! Rebuilt again, phased out the final wraith parts that were clinging to life. This rig doesn't fit any category anymore haha

Took it out to one of the best local spots yesterday and crawled for a good 5-6 hours with no issues at all. Killed one and a half 2100mah 3s batteries before stopping for lunch and swapping in a 5500mah 3s that lasted the rest of the day (that battery will last 2+ hours easily with this setup)

Spec as it sits:
Custom xr10 f9 curries
Axial universals
Vanquish rear chromoly xr10 shafts
Mip driveshafts
Twin hammers transmission locked in low
Castle mmp
Castle sensored crawler motor ~1900kv
Castle bec pro
Savox alumni cased 400+ oz servo
Brazin scale rc steel chassis
Traxxas shocks
Ssd rc stamped steel beadlocks
Proline g8 tsl sx xl
Spectrum ar610 receiver paired with a spektrum dxe
Wraith aluminum lower links with custom uppers
Yeti body with no name leds

This has turned into a pretty capable rig. During the shakedown run to test it there were no failures or broken parts, just pure fun. I lost one screw holding my bumper on and otherwise everything was great.
