Anyone got any of those spare rubber spacers for the Wraith? Part # AXA1356. If not, hopefully LitH has some because the one by me doesn't.

I ran the Slash around Trash Mountain... it was pretty damn fun!
There's 4 dirt paths up it and all the weeds have been mowed down so you can drive all over it... and there was a super hottie boom body fitness chick doing her abs exercises at the bottom of the hill.

Anyway, for those of you with suitable bashing rigs, we should have a race!
We can do laps up and down the hill. There's lot's of jumps and places to lose control if you go to fast... but you can go pretty damn fast and t's pretty damn fun! We could do a gtg there and if it gets boring, take the scalers to Foster or the Slash's to the beach... or back to my place for a bbq.

Well, racing tonight was pretty fun. I got consistent 3rd place finishes in 2 heats & the A-mains. It may sound good but, to me I feel like the fastest slow guy. The two top guys are fast as hell. quite a bit faster than me. I'm quite a bit faster than everyone behind me though. It's weird. It's going to take quite a bit of practice to get THAT fast. Those guys just know the track very well, know all the best lines, know whats fast.

I need you guys to get your trucks together so we can dominate those foo's!

haha, anyways... here's a quick vid I put together. It's just a loop of a single lap so you can see what it's about:

[thzero]

btw, does anyone need any stainless steel GripFab Wraith links?

Well I'm heading out tomorrow plan to be there about 11:00 I got a friend coming with me (NOOBIE) that wants to have a little fun.. Well once I got past my hang over. I finished up my 4x4. Took off all the torque control, and bumped the boost curve a little.... OMG fun fun!

[gottwins?]

Batteries charging now. I'll be there around 1130. My sons T4 showed up early so I'll be tuning that tomorrow as well.

Well got the 22 mostly done. Just need to solder the leads onto the new 17.5 motor and bolt in the motor assembly to the chassis. Opted for the mid-mounted for now, but it seems a bit harder to swap motors around, etc. Then stuff in the electronics and theoretically should be good to go. Need to do some tweaking of the slipper and ball diff at the track though. Oh and do the shocks!!

Kit went pretty well together except the silly small SAE screw; goofy. Biggest complaints about the 22 kit are as follows...

Composite hexes
Composite c-hubs and knuckles
Composite rear carriers
Composite steering horn

I guess was most surprised by the composite hexes. Would have thought we'd had aluminum in the kit. But then again this wasn't the "pro" kit, I'm sure that'll come.

Servo isn't real easy to get too, but I've yet to see a 10th scale truck/buggy that its easy (i.e. not the SC10/R10, the XXX-*, etc) so not really an issue.

I want 22SCT BAD but I'm thinking I'll wait till the end of OCT! Bonus time at work. Besides Tomorrow will be the first time my all stock XXX-SCT hits the track Sadly I only have crappy stock tires too. I need to put the TLR kit on it and mess with it for a bit first. I guess I shouldn't say all stock as it is sporting a MMP, and a 5700KV Castle in it.

Either way I'm SOOO JEALOUS!!!

Is that the stock chassis?

[Die-Laughing]

It's the MIP kit.

I like that half clear tray setup
