What are you working on??

Made some changes. Go the ride height back down. Pulled the extra weight from the front tires and better foams. Some tweaking on the throttle curves. She crawls much better now. The motor wasn't lacking power, just needed to change a few things. Fender trimming was very little. Put it to the test at maidens cliff and see how it fairs.

It's no secret that the stock rear shock area of the Wraith is in need of improvement. I bought the Wraith kit, and from day one I relocated my battery to put more weight on the front axle. There are some aftermarket products, like BGR, that can fix the rear flex between the shocks but I put a project box in the back for the electronics so that limits what I can put back there.

I picked up a 3' section of Multipurpose Aluminum Tubing that is just right to cut, drill and run a 3M tap into for making standoffs. The other tube, 55mm long, will fill the space between the front shocks upper mount under the hood.

Home for RX, two Axial light controllers that have been smashed together, BEC and spliter for the BEC.

Decased, conformal coated and heatshrinked the RX, Axial Light kit (x2 smashed) and the BEC.

I put some clear heatshring on the cross tube so nothing would short out on it.

From the chaffing on the side of the project box you can see how much things had been moving on me.

My mind is very devious! ;-)
 
Switched over the SCX10 screws to stainless. While I was working on the Yeti, I switched over a bunch as well.
I have a ton of standard screws for anyone who wants them. I'll have them tomorrow.

Trying out some different springs. Hopefully reducing rollovers at speed. They are some HPI springs I believe. For the blitz, if memory serves. They are a direct fit.

I got some license plate frames with my last RPP order and got them painted.
I figured out a way to make license plates stupid easy!

Printed on the computer & "laminated" in thick clear packing tape.
 
Had the same issue with my ram. Looked awesome but crawled like rubbish and didn't even trail good. Made extreme changes and going to try it out today.
 
Thanks Cord. But I'm sick of looking at it! I'm ready to use it! Get some more scratches on it. It's been a fun road getting here. I got a lot of help on this site. And i really couldn't have done it s easily without the help from Juan at underground crawlers. He got me rolling in the right direction for sure. Great customer service!
 
Haven't been crawling much. But still tinkering. New jeep body came out nice and new one off rock skids.
