| Length of shocks
Hi! I`m thinking about buying some different and slightly longer shocks for my Wraith Spawn RTR. I have found some that are 108mm in length (between center of mounting holes). Is this a good lenght for a Wraith that will only be used for crawling or should I buy even longer to get better articulation? |

That will be relatively similar to stock length. I think stock are 100mm. or 110mm. I can't remember. But either way you'll be right in there. I think the gmade's I bought are 103mm.

I'm currently using a set of 90mm Honcho shocks and like them better. Articulation isn't everything it seems.

I have 105 mm rcfwd shocks with dual springs and I like them they rebound is way better than stock and they are a little softer took a little getting used to but it's all in the adjustments you like and your driving style

Those 130mm shocks will lift your wraith. Stock is 103mm. So you would be lifting the truck 27mm basically. I would recommend staying closer to stock length. 130 is too long IMO. I have some Gmade 103mm shocks, I really dont recommend them as they do leak some. But overall they work pretty well fro the price i paid.

I like my 90mm scx10 shocks better than the original Wraith shocks.

I found two sets of Yeti front shock pull offs on fleaBay for about $20 shipped. They use a shorter, stiffer spring spun up but the Wraith springs will fit when spun down. I used a Red and a Purple and so far so good. They have bigger shock body and a bigger shaft but are only about 93mm eye to eye.
