    So here is a few pics of my Axial Wraith at the Ocean over this last wknd with the wife.
    Ive had it for a couple months now and love it. I have a Axial 55 turn motor for it for a little slow crawling and a different set of Gforce tires and a cheap set of bead lock wheels. Also just picked up a LOSI 17 turn motor for it for a little more speed in the open areas that i go to.

    I'm running Groovys/Double Dees in green on my J82, Edge/HoleShots in M3 on my T4, and I don't really have a favorite for my DEX408. The deal is, when damp, almost any thing works, by the end of of a heat/pack it's dried out quite a bit, and becomes pretty greasy.

    Fluorescent anything needs backed with white. I thought you were a professional painter as well as a driver.

    I just dumped about $140 into my ridgecrest :eek: Its a awesome rig stock, just couldnt resist modding it..

    Summit is ALOT more $$ then a ridgecrest and its huge so there 2 totally different things, but since you have a wraith, i say get the summit.
