Wraith build in final stages!

[bobaloohoo]

Today i got a bunch of stuff in and I'm not done yet I just installed a vanquish four link/steering link set with steel CVD shafts along with 2.2 TSL SX 2.2 super swampers and g-made true beadlock rims. Have castle 3800 motor and esc with savox servo that was previously installed. Decided to also install a toolbox in the battery tray in the back to hold spare parts while on the trail! OH and a little shirt amain threw in with my order ill keep yall posted on more updates in the future

Looks good! Basher or crawler?

 

[bobaloohoo]

both, we go to a few hill climbing spots and rock crawling spots. I'm diggin how this thing is coming along

 

[HPIguy]

Is that motor you're going to use sensored? If not, you'll have to gear WAY down to keep it from cogging on the rocks, been there done that. Fast wraiths are fun too though, I love mine to death. Probably gets the most drive time of anything I own to be honest just because it's so versatile.

 

[bobaloohoo]

its sensorless, i geared it waaaay down a few months ago, I've had the motor in it for a while now and the gears in it for a while. i was worried at first but with it being geared down it has no problem crawling. it can't super crawl but it can crawl to my liking. I've tuned the motor down to 50% speed also so it helps, still pretty darn fast too.

Wraith is almost done, need to get a few things. next couple things I'm going to do is buy new shocks for starters and an older k5 body and wrap it around this chassis neatly

Looks nice man! I had a blast building my wraith. Problem is now it justs sits on the shelf.

 

[bobaloohoo]

why dont you run it?

 

[HPIguy]

Looking good man!

 

[bobaloohoo]

thanks man, we ain t quite there yet, but its gettin as much as i can give her lol

 

[SMaxxin]

Nice looking wraith bro, I'm very interested in seeing the K5 shell on it.

 

[bobaloohoo]

I'm gonna cut the cab off of it so this cage sticks out the top, but all the sides and the hood will still be there

 

[HPIguy]

I can't wait to see that! Also, I notice your swampers (and my RB II's) do the same thing mine do, they clog up in the loose stuff. But, they're good on hardpack and rock though. Has that been your experience also? I honestly think for my east coast terrain, my cut boggers are about the best all around tire I have.

 

[bobaloohoo]

oh yes I've noticed they do that exact thing and are beast on hardpack and rock. i have cut boggers i gave to my dad to put on his deadbolt and he loves them. i got a video being rendered right not that ill post up on here when its done of me and him hill climbing and rock bouncing

I can't wait to see that K5. I love them as you can see from this pic of my last project:

 

[bobaloohoo]

K5's are one of the best looking bodies ever made

Video completed! nothing special but it is what it is

 

[MudSlinger33]

why dont you run it?

Not enough time... plus i dont want it to get dirty. Haha

Oh no... I'm starting to sound like ralph!

 

[bobaloohoo]

uh oh.... wax on, wax off...

 

[HPIguy]

Nice vid! Really shows the difference in tire choice well also.

 

[bobaloohoo]

it definately does lol. the boggers grip a little better
