He got you there Z.BOOM! is what i thought after reading the Wraith site, but seemed to get decent reviews. One guy kept asking, how is it with a P4 motor but no replys. I thought what the heck it is only $125.00 and i have a Good back up Trans. Or i was thinking about putting it in Ponch. Might have to order another one.

Any opinion on the sc10 4x4 rtr brushless electronics is a honcho? It's already waterproof and could be good for when I upgrade my sc10.

You guys wanna do work? How about 9-2-12? Its sunday labor day weekend, no work monday. You wanna get it together then? No trucks.

We can each work on doing something. Clear off the hill climb, put obstacles together, clear trees, shovels, rakes, sweat, tight jeans... Wait, what? Zero hacked my computer!

I'm in Minnesota until thursday night. Friday to Monday I'm in Texas. Tuesday thru the following Friday I'm back in Minnesota. I should have all the parts by then but I won't have time to get it together to race on the 7th. I can race my slash that night though in the 4x4 class.

Parts aren't an issue...time is the problem.

Yeah unfortunately it looks like I'll be out of crawling for a while. My son is in love with the race trucks and that seems to be where my time is being spent the most. I'm hoping he likes the stadium trucks because they are a little more stable and a little more forgiving. To be honest, they are a little cheaper too! Talked with the wife at lunch about this and it looks like the last of the crawlers are going to be listed this week.

That is a nice project. I am going to spend October looking at some EBs and old Jeeps (MBs, CJ3s and 5s, maybe a Cherokee Chief or a Honcho).

Sorry, I thought that was next weekend, not this weekend. I'm not doing it this weekend. Good thing very few showed any interest in doing work.. Even the guys that brought it up!

Well I just sold off my black wraith.... Kinda sad about it but I dropped a little of the coin on my 4x4SCT and my 22bugggy. I Still have my blue Wraith but to be honest I'm really consumed with the track. I'm going to be at LITH this Sunday anybody else goin??

I'm dieing to get there I spent the last two days refreshing/throwing some mod parts at my SCTE, and fixing my 22buggy!

I'm really fired up to find out how the SCTE is gonna handle now. I liked the way it drove on my last trip but I found out the center diff was pretty gritty, the driver side front hinge pin was all but s shaped, and one of my rear CVD's was pretty badly worn. I also swapped chassis should have dropped almost half a pound soo this should be fun LOL.

Any of you running the SC10 2WD, RC10T4 or RC10B4, if they are not FT, you should look at a MIP diff kit. SO much nicer and smoother than the gear diff. I little different driving experience but on the packed clay, they really snap out of a turn. no more wishy washy rear end. If your in a FT, I believe that it already has the AE branded MIP. At least my B4 and T4 did.
