Nice rig! Does your wheels have vent holes? If not then its time to put some and also its going to kind of hard but those foams has to be star cut IMO. Theyre are just too hard and wont follow the contour of the ground. Nice truck I want one.

I was curious how this truck ran. It looks really solid and fairly scale look too. It seems that it flips over quite a bit so maybe get some weight in those tires there seems to be plenty of power to add weight. excellent quality on the vids tooo

Some of those flip overs were driver error do to messing around or getting in a hurry  Softer tires and a little weight will help a lot, though the harder compound can make it fun. The Ripsaw tires do awesome in the dirt and softer terrain. Thanks |

AMAZING crawl spots! Watched in 1080...I thought I was in heaven! My only suggestion is to get more closeup "drive by" shots of the wraith tackling the terrain. Subscribed to your youtube channel...keep up the great work! |

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah my buddy just got the camera, figured out after we shot all these vids, he didnt have it set at the highest setting, so framerates and detail should be better in the next batch. We are into it, going to do the editing and all, trying to be one of the cool guy's !! learning as we go, camera angles, how close to be etc. I too love the extreme close ups and slow mo's. Heres a couple we did today, one is closer than before (we learn fast) and the other is showing off my driving skills. See, it's easy to crawl on the tires, but I do it on my roof too  I actually meant to stay upside down, then flip it down the next step down. Now that's progression!!A big point to these videos is to show off the terrain we have here in Eugene, Oregon and sorrounding areas. It can be a bit overwhelming with all the clear rocky streams, moist mossy forests come winter, rocky mountain terrain, sand dunes, ocean, etc. etc. Perfect for the wraith and crawlers in general I must say. http://www.youtube.com/user/RexTube22#p/u/5/xH-tkTZzG34 My moves, http://www.youtube.com/user/RexTube22#p/u/6/6KyrGiSzc-U |
