uh oh.. this video makes the wraith look super delicate compared to my 4x4 stampede! I'm building one now, maybe i should start the upgrades already!

Awesome vid - a rig built to be used!

Well, so far since that long side rear broke, I have bent a short side rear & that's pretty much it. I'd say it's pretty tough. I have been accumulating a lot of VP goodies since that day.

What do we have here……….

 

[dunerinaz]

How wide are the new wheels? I have 1" wide wheels and was wondering if the IROKs mount OK to a narrow wheel since they're so big.

 

[CHOPPERMECH11]

Those look nice! Hurry and mount, and show us pics....

 

[ax10tn]

Is the brakes available yet or do you have connections ?

 

[Ernie W]

Nice little chunk of change you have there in the wheels.... They are very nice, gotta love the details.

Seems like VP has released them to a selected few to wave in front of us to get everyone drooling. :roll:

They are either .8" or 1" not sure, but can measure later. I have not mounted yet, just cleaned them up.

I just ordered some chubs & knucks from VP. I was running XR knuckles.

Not available. I know a guy who know's some guys.:ror:

Thanks Parker!"thumbsup"

They were a gift from a team VP driver.:shock:

It gives everyone time to save money."thumbsup"

Brakes...who needs brakes :evil: I don't ned no stinking brakes :twisted:

But like many, I will probably buy them when they DO become available, just because I can :mrgreen: I hope the calipers come in different colors.

0.7" wide iirc...too narrow for the Ripsaws imo, but they look nice.

we are working on improving the drool factor, it will be worth the wait "thumbsup"

I bet they will. Any idea when they will be released? I've seen them on at least two other rigs on here within the past couple of months. What guy do I need to know to get some, lol.

If you have to save up to buy some fake brakes you're in the wrong hobby.:mrgreen:

Tom, much mahalo to you & the crew for supporting the Shaka Brah Classic G6. See you here next year?

Touche. :ror:


But, not everyone is swimming in money like me.:lmao:

 

[Hoosierdady]

nice video. Love the fact you kept running after you lost the wheel "thumbsup" How do you like that gear ratio for top end? Im running a 15/60 setup now, concidering using the same ratio you have.

 

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

Top speed seems fine to me, IDK mph, but fast enough to hit some G6 doubles.

 

[flyingrc]

Wow, are those disc brakes functional?? Or for scale looks??

Kinda both, their function is to make you drool. I think it works pretty good.
