Ok guys I switched to some 32p gears. I have the mesh set should be just about right. Motor temps are 95-125 range. I know a heavier toothed gear tends to make a little more noise but these things are yelling a good 34-50% louder than my 48P. Is that normal?? Might be up to play next weekend not water/mud running though...

The 32P are louder, but it is odd, I run them in all my trucks and the Wraith is twice as loud as the Hilux or the Taco. I am up for next weekend. Got the new body done on the Wraith, still having a little trouble with ESC and Motor but I think it is the Sensored/UnSensored setting on the ESC. Just means I have to unbaloon everything again to retest it. For the life of me, I could not find any of my air brush stencils of templates so just a simple paint job on this to see how it works out. I will do another is a few weeks. Rear deck is just sitting in place not locked down.  Last edited by neillarson; 10-30-2011 at 07:05 PM. |

 My biggest hangup with F350, Silverado, Tundra, etc. Class 1 builds is that none of those are solid front axle trucks. So if Class 1 is supposed to be pretty much a beefed up street truck, they really need a IFS in the front. That would definitively be a sick build. | |

IFS would be pretty cool but, you could have a class1 rig with a solid axle conversion! How do you know it didnt have IFS and I switched it over to a solid axle?! Yea, my class3 is gonna be Ford! Maybe ill switch it up and do something else for the other rig... Hmm. |

Actually, the Hilux was a solid front axle. The Ford F350 was available with a solid front axle through 2008, Ramns had solid axles into the 2000s (my 2002 Ram was a solid front axle). Can't speak to the Silverados. Tundras have always had IFS. | |

Yeah, that is what I was sorta getting at. Seems if you are converting to a solid front axle, then it'd be more of a Class 2 rig. Ah, I wasn't aware of axles being available so late in the game! Quote:

Anyone know if the flatbed counts as "Wheel can not extend past body"? I'd like to build a class1 EDIT: It looks like the flat bed is legal but now I have another question... Last edited by johnnyh66; 10-31-2011 at 10:06 AM. |

So, I was wondering about Class 1. I don't see that it actually has to be a Factory Spec. truck... because Ford didn't make 4x4's till the 40's. But. In the 30's, Marmon-Herrington started doing Ford truck conversions  So, I think I will build a Parma 34' Ford Dually  Ford also sold the trucks with NO Bed... I know that's against C1 rules though... but it was a factory spec option. |

i should just assume i'm ahead of the curve. what was it just a month or two ago people were saying wraiths werent for them as well as class 1?...  my f350 is class 1 for sure but it wouldnt comp at all compared to a honcho running 4.18 tires. my current rig is being built as both a class 1 and a class 2. only got to swap out links and body/bumpers to change it up. ...and its going to be the BADDEST ever class 1.  |
