| Wraith at the Highlands rock race course Getting my Wraith pretty dialed. Good balance of speed and crawling. Pretty stable at speed. Super fun to drive! Love the way this rig looks and handles driving. Seems the suspension action is more realistic than anything else I have driven. |

Thanks. Here is the build thread if you have not seen it: Horsetooth Badlands Wraith * NEW VIDEO on page 4 Basic setup is a highly modified Wraith RTR with a Mamba Max Pro running a Novak 17.5 Pro brushless, powered by a 2 cell battery on stock gearing. Lots of suspension work done, building it to lean toward the rock racing side. I would not want it any faster. The local terrain is generally full of obstacles and rocks so faster would mean breakage and less crawlability. The location is on the East side of Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, CO. Seen alot of great locations on this site over the years, but when the water is low, this place is among the best for a variety of terrain in a concentrated area. | |

| It's been dropping over the past month or so. This will be my first season up there with a rig with some speed so there should be lots to explore. The new easy access parking lot makes it easier to explore the shoreline.

Every sunday night I deliver off of Harmony. Never ventured outside of work in Ft. Collins. Now I have a reason. Awsome video! |

| Seems a few a few locals are lurking around Later this winter I will probably have some fairly established lines worked out. Maybe an informal GTG could come about. Maybe some longer KOH type runs with some open desert then rocks, and also some closed loop type rock race action. Don't forget the full cralwer tecnical trails...

Really nice video. I'm new to crawling and scalers, so have been checking out lots of videos and reviews. I've been torn between two rigs, and this video was a major push towards the Wraith! Well done! |
