|  New to me Wraith
I have been wanting to build one of these for a while. I have been messing with 1.55 and 1.9 stuff since I started with the crawlers. Well I didn't build it because I got a great deal on one that is built. Here is what she has: Full front and rear VP Currie axle housings Front and rear VP axle shafts VP C-Hubs VP knuckles VP titanium links VP titanium tie rod VP titanium drag link VP titanium steering link VP axle shock mounts VP lockers front and rear VP chassis mounted servo mount Hardened heavy duty bevel gears front and rear Red velvet shocks all around Tekin ROC 412 3100kV -3S LiPo brushless motor HiTec HS-7954SH Servo Castle Mamba ESC / custom waterproofed BGR one of a kind, custom built for this rig only partial roll cage. BGR front bumper BGR rock sliders Robinson racing transmission MSR drive shafts Gear Head 2.2 BTR TT headlock wheels Pit Bull 2.2 rock beast II tires Crawler innovations 6.0 double deuce soft outer foam inner tires Fast Eddy bearings all around RC4WD inner fenders hand molded to form this specific truck The Robinson Racing slipper is slipping even when tight so I think I will go with a slipper eliminator as my first upgrade. I also am a Bronco nut so I will try to fit a bronco body on her somehow. |

Was the battery holder a custom piece? Or something I can buy? It is perfect for what I want! Sent from my LG-H870DS using Tapatalk |

Looks great! I highly recommend the slipper eliminator from Locked Up RC.  |

Well I installed the Locked up Slipper eliminator. I didn't realize how much punch the slipper took away. On carpet from a stop this thing will flip itself over backwards. I was thinking holy crap I don't need that kind of power then the little guy on the other shoulder said yes you do. Well I listened to the wrong little guy. I snapped the pinion on the front axle and lost half of one of my MIP shafts. Before this happened I was digging the way I could crawl slow and launch when needed. I am running a 56/13 spur and pinion. I am going to try dropping to an 11 tooth pinion. I am used to running 45 or 55 turn brushed motors so this trucks speed and capability are all new to me. Man this thing is bad ass. I am planning on getting the Axial HD overdrive to replace the front diff gears unless someone here knows of a stronger set.

Go 11T pinion and 43/13 in the back. You'll never look back!

I’m not taking anything away from your wraith, super awesome. But the seller might be fibbing you a little, you said that BGR cage is one of a kind, I had the EXACT same cage on my old wraith. i just had to cut the rear tire mount off cause I kept bending the cage went it landed on the back. And if your looking for a bronco body there is a company that makes really thick nice bronco bodies. I had one on mine. I can’t remember the company but I’m sure someone will let you know. This is it.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh, I take back what I said about the cage. Didn’t notice yours has some extra bracing on the rear. Sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And I think that front battery/electronics tray is from a company called Crawl Space. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I replaced the front gears with the Axial HD stock gears and went to a 11 tooth pinion. Much better for crawling and still all the punch I need. Bronco Body coming next.
