The way I was thinking is a plastic horn has to be cheaper than the case. But awesome on the new parts! Maybe now you can focus elsewhere on the truck.
It's been a while.
Finally wore through the front axle housing deep enough that sticks were getting stuck in the gears :lmao:
Twisted the rear hole out of the RRP one piece lower gear as well. New one installed, I'll look in to 6mm stuff if this happens again.
Fresh housing and an alloy cover. Maybe that will help.
Body is getting pretty beat, I'll put a Spawn body hacked into a pickup when I can track one down.
As she sits now. The Pitbulls just get better and better with wear.

Have you had issues with losing bolts from your beaddlocks?
One of my favorite builds on here for sure.

Never lost one, never even check them. No locktite, just tightened to "good enough". They've been together for many months.

Crazy, I have lost at least 12-15 in just 4 batt packs. Don't want to locktite them so I can swap to other tires easier. Just have a ton of extra screws on hand to replace them when I lose them.
Again, super nice build.

Thanks man, I have a lot of fun with it.

Dose you rig pull hard to on side under instant full throttle, If so any idea how to correct this? The only way i seem able to control the rig from pulling to the side is gradually bringing rig up to full speed.

Are you running a rear sway bar? That will help a ton with the torque steer.

Yes, rear isn't squatting like Torque twist just pull to the side under full power. I've heard the TSL proline tires will cause this. Hmmm I wonder?
I don't have a rear sway bar and it pulls straight. Pulls wheelys if the traction is there. The left front tire is off the ground a lot 8)
It torques bad, doesn't really bother me though. It it's not a pavement car in any way.

Sway bar (rear) would keep front wheel on the ground"thumbsup"

Would love to see some video of you running/bashing this rig.
Fantastic read. You treat the Wraith like I treat my Traxxas Slashes! Never thought of the Wraith as a basher.(Gave it 5 stars)
It rarely gets "bashed," just has more speed than it should :mrgreen:
Thanks, it's a nice break every day at lunch.
I'll see what I can do, I need to pick up a GoPro.
Some pictures of the dirt pile. This is the dump pile for all the dirt, rocks, fence, asphalt and everything else behind the shop.
The tame side.
The new side.
The steep back side.
The curved parking curb measures at 37*. The space between the curbs is only 4" or so. The hill up to the curb is sloppy slick mud and rocks. Gotta clear the pitbulls out from time to time

Did you end up tuning the shocks different than what you posted?
Same set up, or different?
