What I have found that works is keep your rc area a little cluttered. That way it is hard for them to pick out that there is new stuff in the mess and pile o parts. If things are too neat and clean, new parts stick out like a sore thumb. That and if she starts asking questions, I just by her a new purse or something. I have had to buy 3 Coach purses in the last two years cause of this. So add a grand to the rc costs, but it is worth it. Keeps her quiet for a few months. :shock:

Well Wendall. Nate and I were tossing around ideas and I was kind of thinking pink. Then I could call it taco supreme aka the pink taco

Well I got a small test run in today before the rain started. Found out a few things.
First was I had to drill out my beef tubes a little for the rear four link trust that was while running on 3s
Then I hooked up the big power 6s
And all I can say is wow this thing will sling grass and throw the front tires off the ground while at or around quarter throttle.
So things I will have to do is lengthen my wheel base a little more
And try and get this puppy a little wider
I did a quick little video with my phone Like I said it started to rain sorry

so i got a chance to just run this thing for all of about ten minutes today and decided i need to get a couple of things done to this thing for it to handle this kind of speed.
just curious has anyone used wheel wideners with vp hubs ?? thats the only solution i can really see at this time to get a wider stance thanks for any help

Longer beef tubes?

For right now I'm trying to dodge that expense being I would have to buy all new steering components as well as longer tubes.

I say go for it with this set up I like it a lot. It has great low speed control and depending on what battery I put in I can get a whole lot of wheel speed

Ok I'm having some binding issues with my mip cvd's.
in the front axles I'm using high steer 0 ack knuckles and 850 vp hubs that won't tighten down all the way with out really binding up. If anyone has ran into this issue please give your 2 cents. thanks

Badass. I love how it turns out especially the wider stance now. Wonder how soon you will stuff the Wraith axles under the beast. I bet you will after running two battery packs. :twisted:
