Thumbs up Wraith Roll

Just moved to trucks from helis. Got a Wraith even though I read they were a little tippy. Well it's a little tippy. Ordered 1.04lb springs and 50wt oil to put on. Any other thoughts on keppin it upright at cruising speeds. Also would like to get some cool looking and functional alum suspension links. What should I go with. Down the road maybe shocks too. Gmade?

you can lower it some by turning the lower shock mounts upside down, or add some sway bars

Which wraith did you get? The poison spyder wraith has the mounts already flipped for lower ride height. I would guess that the spawn wraith already has it done too.

All the Wraiths are considered a rock racer. What color is the body?
Black/green - regular wraith
Blue - poison spyder wraith
White - spawn wraith

Widening out the stance is an option with spacers, but I would lower it gear head makes a nice kit

Is it a traction roll scenario or is it getting squirrely at speed leading to the tippisies?

Sway bars would help with body roll at speed, and make sure you reorganize the electronics, made all the difference for me

Ok, go ahead and flip those lower shock mounts then.

Thanks for the replies!! Black springs on three shocks and 50wt shock sili oil. Also switched the shock mounts. Its made a huge difference. Would like to go with some aftermarket shocks now but don't really wan't to mess up a good thing.
If I went with King's or gmade can you order with different spring weights? maybe switch up the servo for some better performance. Have no idea what to get?

Pends on what your going to do with it.
Are you happy with the handling?

If your just looking to improve, an upgraded ESC might be a good choice. You will get better control and more adjust-ability among other benefits.

If your going to run hard or use 3s give major consideration to drive-train upgrades.
