| Need New Shocks
Bought this Wraith used so I've been going through bit by bit setting it up. So far I've put bearings, motor, knuckles, lockouts, hubs, skids, servo and cage modded it. Now I'm looking to retire the original shocks on it for something a little more adjustable and more wheel travel. I had originally set up the suspension for low center of gravity for top speed stuff. But after numerous times bottoming out, I've decided I'd rather have clearance since it's a creeper anyway. I've still got the 2.2's that came with it (which IMO are a little stiff) but I don't thinks it's worth the money to switch them out yet. I'd like to get this guy to where it could climb stair cases. I know that's a stretch considering how long the wheel base is, but maybe at least climb one step without bottoming out so bad. Future plans will depend on how long the plastic drive lines hold up. I do more light crawling so they may hold up longer. But I do notice more play in the diff in the front than the rear. Anyway, any thoughts? |
