Thank you Shelby.

Making progress on the build :-)

Correct. 2.2 / 3.0 Pitbull Rock Beast 2 tire with a custom Deuce's Wild 2.2 Tall foam modified to the fit the 2.2 / 3.0 bead lock.

Because it's an RC4WD bead lock wheel, the tires MUST be GLUED to the rims NO MATTER WHAT. It's a 3 piece design bead lock, but the center section is not wide enough to properly clamp any brand tires to the wheel
RC3WD has discontinued the wheel for obvious reasons, but I was lucky enough to get these in a on going purchase of Shelby's RC lot.

ooo. I didn't know those were the 2.2/3.0 setup. Those are a perfect fit for those axles.

Wow, didn't realize those Falsenfest knuckles were that big. The stock knuckles fit right into a 2.2.

I did not realize how far behind I am on this build thread. The Forced Wraith has been completed for some time now. I'll post updated pictures later. My son & I brought this rig to the ETXRCC Get Together at Barnwell Mountain ORV Park this weekend. Here's a short video of it on the rock garden at Barnwell.

Our local club, ETXRCC had a Get Together @ Barnwell Mountain ORV Park in Gilmer, Texas last weekend. It was an evening get together. We decided to stay the night ahead of time in order to test and record the following morning. Here is a collection of footage from that test and tune. The Forced Wraith had 7 battery packs through it for the weekend.

I've had one of these CFM steel hoods for a very long time now. It was time to use it. I fitted it to the Forced Wraith. Here are some current pictures before the hood and panels are removed for paint:

Several G6's later and lots of playing time and it broke its first part tonight:

I'm thinking universals are the fix over the HPI CVD.

The back beads are coming off.

No. The bead locks do not hold at all for the most part. I have the tires CA glued to the rims and sometimes the rear pulls out.

This is my first Twin Force build and I'm learning quickly thanks to the information on RCC. I replaced the CVD with a Universal and it's good to go.
