sorry to contribute to the derailment there, I was originally just checking in to see if you had done more to this thing as it was a inspiration for me into getting a telluride.

It's nice to know that it's a decent bit o kit. I think the Telluride is the only Traxxas model I like. It just has a good.... stance? It's like the old beagle of R/C trucks.

lol old beagle I like that, I have seen one someone lowered and put the drag tires all around on it. I guess it would be more like a basset hound now lol.

There's a few still out there. Agree with the OP, decent little rig with a bit of work. Sometimes different is fun. Once you get the weight balance sorted out and diffs locked, it's a go-getter. |

At some point I will end up with a Telluride and appreciate the enthusiasm for the Telluride here. I've always wanted an RC that is the equivalent if my All Mountain, AM, mountain bike. Capable of climbing up steep technical terrain and then hitting the jumps, drops and berms on the way down. That's the role the Wraith will take on. Thankfully the Wraith has a bunch of alloy upgrades that should make it pretty easy to trade for one of these or a when it comes time. | |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
This thread is exactly what I'm looking for. I want something different and something that I can easily order in parts to the hobby shop plus at Bumps and Jumps we sell tons of Traxxas Slash kits. I race some highly modded Slash trucks mainly for the fun of it and because I want to prove I can win with them and I have many of times at are indoor track. I want to build something like Telluride I seen on this thread. For me it is just for fun and to trail ride with. If I want comps I will just race my off road stuff but trailing/crawling is just for the fun of it. |

This thread makes me want to sell my Wraith and get a Telluride. The Wraith can climb and crawl like a mother but is a pain to work on. I too race a Slash for the same reason Wyd does. Dare to be different. Everyone at my local crawling course either has a scx10 or a Wraith. The Wraith reigns supreme just because it has a wider track. The obstacles are more of a climbing over rather than needing the sick articulation the Wraith is capable of.

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
I completely hear you on what a pain in the ass the Wraith is to work on. I just built a MAxial WLO aka the Wraith Like Object. I call it a wide body scaler. Its the lower part of a wraith chassis with some link tubes for cross braces and some alloy flat stock for chassis rails and angle alloy. I always run hard bodies on it so it doesn't need or have the cage or interior on it. Pictures of it here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/RC-Tr...06760406043243 I still want and will get a Telluride at some point but I won't give up the wraith to get it. |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
I won't give up my Wraith either. It climbs like a goat. The guy I got my Wraith from put $2000 into it. I got that and my son's Wraith on a barter deal. After reading this and many other threads about the Telluride, I want one. I saw a guy on YouTube put a Novak 13.5T running on 3s, Method 1.9 beadlocks with TSL Super Swampers and he was driving the snot out of his Telly. And that thing could CRAWL! Cool videos. My local crawler course just built a small Ultra 4 race course. The Wraith can be tippy if driven too fast, but I'll bet the Telly is better at speed. I would race a Telly on the Ultra 4 course. |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
If you search the Telluride section on Traxxas Forums, you'll find a lot of information regarding running 2.2 wheels. You can add wider hexes to clear or go with a higher offset but that pushes the tire farther out of the fenders and (IMO) takes away from the Scale look that we're after. Short Course wheels (2.2/3.0) are about the only way to keep them tucked in.

I personally like the size of that wheel\tire combo. Not exactly scale but perfect for bashing, trail driving and crawling. Every tire company makes a 1.9 sized tire. I think 2.2 crawler tires would be too big and look goofy. It'll also give you a little more ground clearance I'm sure. | |

Max-D your killing me. I found that are one distributor carries the PitBull SC tires and has the softest version in stock so you know I had to put those bad boys on the order. Not sure when we will be sending this order since we don't need too much from their but I hope in the next 2 weeks or so. I would go with possible the TSL 1.9 setup but those Method Rims are too much money for me just trailing although they are bad ass.

Any idea what the difference is between the stock offset Telly wheels and the ProTrac offset in millimeters? | |

JOHN82601 anything done to your Telluride? Getting mine ready again to use this spring. My new steering servo is coming in Wed as I stole the one I had in it for off road buggy I race. Can't wait to get my Telluride up and running again.
