Anyone into R/C?

The options with the Honchos are endless. I have 2.2s on mine along with scale stuff. In person, the tires don't look as disproportionate as they do in the picture.

I also have a set of scale 1.9 tires and wheels that I can throw on if I feel like doing the full scale thing.

It is unbelievable the performance gain you get with 2.2s. I can crawl over shit that my buddy's Dingo with 1.9s can't. In a way, it's a little bit less fun as I have to try and find different lines to increase the difficult.

This weekend I think I am going to throw the 1.9s on and see what it's like.

I finally got out to the track last night and ran a few packs, good times. First I've ran in months. May get a little better now I'm laid off again. Two months and out of work again.

 

I changed the settings on my esc and the 17.5t motor woke up! This is way faster now. Gonna be racing this Sunday. I'll make sure to get some video. Sucks you got laid off again, was it a temp job?

 

Wasn't supposed to have been, but seems now it was.

 

So I thinking and plastic dipping the chasis of the wraith, what are all your thoughts and opinions?

 

I recognize those shocks!

It probably wouldn't last that long. What's your reasoning?

T-maxx right? Do people still get air plane gear reducers or do they just sell them now? I'm telling you it's been a while On the goliath I had to pull the shaft on the reducer and lathe it down to fit the tiny pinion gear. I didn't have a lathe so I put it in a drill zip tied the trigger down wedged it into my sock drawer and ground it down with a file hahaha

 

Different color plus I was thinking it would protect it a little more since it is getting thrashed

Maybe my experience with Plasti-Dip is different than yours but I don't see it holding up very well to getting thrashed.

Do they make aftermarket aluminum chassis' for the Wraith?

Fink

 

Hmmmm good question. Maybe they do. Thought about building one too.

 

all 5 of my crawlers were ground up builds and not kits... they were a mix of different brands and parts...

im partial to TLT axles with Traxxas trans... for chassis, i have gone with Kaetwo, SW2, and Diaz Designs...

although, i do like the tube chassis of the Wraith and wouldn't mind building one without the body on it...

 

gonna be doing a lot of racing this weekend. Later today will be racing at Tony's Hobbies in Baldwin Park, CA. Then sunday will be racing at West Coast RC Raceway in La Mirada, CA.

cant wait!

 

Have fun! Take lots of pictures and videos

 

hopefully my fiancee gets some good video haha

 

She better, unless she is getting you food and drink.

 

TQ'd tonight at a local indoor track, then got second in the a-main. had a few issues with track marshalls dropping me on the wrong side of the track and people cutting the track in the main. I ran my TC02T with my Dualsky 17.5t and XC550TF-MJ in the sportsman 2wd sc class because I was the only stadium truck there. they were running mod motors so i figure i did ok . motor was at 145 and esc was at 98 after the 6 minute main. Will be racing again tomorrow at WCRC in la mirada. Should be fun.

 

SC show, ST go. When you gonna drop that 13.5 in there?

 

not sure. i gotta set some money aside for it lol

 

Switched my links on my swashplate the "advanced" position. Pretty noticeable difference. I just wish I had somewhere better to fly. Seems like it's always windy out.
