Read back a few pages in this thread for some vids,pics and a posted map of a couple spots we go to.
Your more than welcome to join us any Sunday that we plan to get together, just stay posted here and when we make plans just chime in that you'll be meeting us.

Welcome to the site and group Tonyszuma. As the other guys have said we try and meet on Sundays and it doesn't always happen every week but we try to get together as often as we can. We have a few spots that we go to on a regular basis and we are always on the lookout for a new place to run. We try to plan our meets about a week out just to give people time to check schedules, or make plans around it. Just keep checking this thread for updates. Also if you have or know of any great spots to run just let us know, most of us are willing to try out new spots.

Current tentative plan is building on a fresh Dingo kit. I can stretch it with a set of links if need be. Working on my build list. HH 35T combo, Motorworx 1.9 bead locks, RR and Vanquish upgrades, etc.

Goin with the dingo . Nice . I have herd that some guys like the shorter WB . And there a a$$ load of bodies out there for it well good luck on the build . I just got through with moving all the gear from my sons ridgecrest to my old honcho chassis no bad looking 12" WB

Looks sweet. So many things can be done on this chassis.

So before I go spending money, what do you guys think of SCx10 axles on a Wraith chassis? Figures I'd throw it out there since I've already got so much invested in the Wraith.

It will narrow your track but not your WB . Look on here I'm sure someone's done it .
