bilinvic's Wraith Rock Crawler

Best looking Wraith I've seen! We have some great crawling spots in Colorado, but I drool every time I see where you go.

And vs Your Bomber? What's is the best crawler? By the way... really like the look of Your Wraith!!

The Wraith is without a doubt, set-up to out-crawl the Bomber.

I also swapped out the rear Proline Powerstroke shocks with the GMade 103 Piggybacks for now, I have them tuned quite stiff because the Wraith is on the heavy side!!!

Thanxs.
 
So what's the deal bro alot of people say the lower kv is smoother than the 3100 you go 3100 for the speed? Or what's your take on it? I'm considering the roc412 2300kv

I also have a ROC 412 1800 kV in my R1, and quite honestly, I don't notice a difference in slow speed resolution / smoothness. The 1800 kV motor definitely doesn't have the top end like the 3100 kV motor. Both are geared moderately (10T to 12T). Both can crawl so incredibly slow it's like watching a slow motion vid. I do want to try out a HH PP 540 to compare, but I'm on the fence whether I go 2200 kV or 3500 kV. I wish HH had something right in the middle, like a 2900 kV.
 
That's where I'm headed gonna try the 2300kv thanks brother!

So I got a question about your rear suspension.

Seems pretty straight forward, BMRC Wraith length trailing arms as lowers and Gmade 103's as shocks. My question is about your upper rear links. They look to be standard Vanquish uppers, but they looked flipped over and turned around. Are you seeing a preformance gain from this, or is it something specific to the Currie axle? I've followed many of your builds on here and I've never noticed the rear links. Again love this buid, and if you're going to rock the retro blue, which I love, I'd add some more color the the hood.
 
I'm pretty sure the rear upper links are the Vanquish Wraith lower Ti links. I had to orientate them this way so that they cleared the metal DMG bulkhead as well as the rear section of the DMG Stiffy chassis throughout the full articulation cycle.

I was thinking of putting more blue on the hood, one day perhaps. Thanxs for the compliment.

Holmes mentioned in one of his threads that a 2650kv Puller Pro XL was also possible when they announced the 2100kv version. I've asked a few times if he is going to make it. No word yet. It would be a beast on 4S.
 
Since I have a spare SSD centered diamond axle that came off of my Bomber, I decided it would find a home on my DMG Wraith. I removed the Vanquish centered Currie axle and now that will have to find a new home! The black diamond axle looks so kool on my Wraith because it's completely exposed to show off it's beauty! Maybe one day I'll change out the front Currie axle. I kinda like how my rig transitions from silver/aluminum up front to black in the back.
