Tower Hobbies will be stocking RC4WD kits and parts! That's good news since you can use your discounts and also get quicker shipping. Their website says late March for parts to arrive.

I'm a huge Pitbull fan, the 1.9 Rock Beasts are THE best all-around tire I've tried so far. Pro-line Super Swampers XL 1.9's are also a good choice.

I picked up some 2.2 rock beasts with nova foams can't wait to get them out on the rocks considering that they are the number 1 tire for 2013

C.I. foams. Not sure which ones to tell you. Depends on the tire you choose. Ask them they will steer you in the right direction. Best money I ever spent.

Pro-line Powerstroke scale shocks are super nice but damn expensive. You might want to check out G-Made/Junfac, alot of guys on RCC run them and are happy with them. I had their Team Zero shocks on a comp rig, great price and buttery smooth. I don't know enough about their scale shocks, but they have lots of options. I would avoid the RC4WD brand except for maybe the King shocks. Those seem to actually work right from what I've heard.

Oh yeah, what Super said. I run the same mostly. I'm not convinced shocks and spring rates make a huge difference on the trails as long as they move freely. Racing, jumping and bashing it's more noticeable.

No prob! Super can tell you that half the time my stock shocks don't even have oil in them anymore, but I can still hang with the better drivers

ok im bout to put this damn wraith up for sale!!!!

was out mudding with it and I tipped it upside down in SHALLOW water tipped it back on its wheels and now it isn't working correctly. cleaned it up some and got it working some but now that I pulled all the electronics out of the cage to get cleaned up more the motor will not turn at all...

pulled the trans apart also and notice my spur gear shaft moves in and out and its rubbing on the three screws holding the motor plate to the trans.. I need to find out how to space this shaft outward to stop it from rubbing but not sure what??

now back to my motor issue. I have everything hooked up plugged a battery in cause I was going to dip the motor in a cup of distilled water and once I plugged the motor in my esc fan turns on but the motor will not move forward or rev by the remote. I messed with the trim and still nothing.... it turns by hand. then I noticed my esc beeping and not the 3 beeps like normal this kept going so I unplugged the battery and tossed everything in my tool box ;( ;( ;( ;( ;( ;(
