    No - I've seen the ones you're talking about though. These are 1.5V.

    I got some plasti dip :cool: haha. After i get it all adjusted and setup good then i am gonna have my buddy air brush it.


    In time :eek:

    That was its first run out, it wasnt setup right at all, wouldnt get on plane with 2s, 4s took it forever to get on plane, was running real wet, turn fins were dragging too much and i think i need to reprogram the esc.

    Wasnt expecting it to be as bad as it was but I had to start somewhere, I know its got the power, just fine tuning to get it to where its supposed to be now.

    I wanted more wheel travel so heres what I did. I got more down travel and up, I got a little more rear lift then I thought. Any opinions

    How are your driveshafts with the longer shocks?

    There good actually.
    Only one problem the left rear upper link touches the driveshaft when fully compressed , but its an easy fix I can ad a bump stop, or make new upper links like I did the bottom (stock upper links are "fat"= cause touching) and I got 6 extra shocks (of the same).

    I'm thinking of doing the same upfront, any thoughts on that?

    ^^Nice place you got there lol.

    Fink If im not mistaken there savage shocks (they come in sets of 8)
    I get way more flex
    IMAG1554_e1074372d414ed89e5e053c5a92d6d6a2ca9f0df.jpg
    it has alot more down travel (its being held up)
    IMAG1555_e6a6cef177f644b46f1cc2d09becd3759235d220.jpg
    But does sit higher in the back
    IMAG1556_48dd3817ac5ff6aa531bf818cc7f7a4dbb3e74ce.jpg

    Should I move the shocks to make it sit lower or put bungee type cord to use as a limiting strap?

    Had another meet this morning - didn't get many pics as usual. Do have a pretty sweet video that I'm hopefully going to get time to edit and post tonight.

    I've never driven a stock Wraith nor a stock Ridgecrest. Only Wraith I've ever driven was my buddy's who has a brushless setup.

    I will say that I am incredibly impressed with that Ridgecrest. All that's been done to it is waterproofing and it kicked ass today. Very sweet rig.

    Considering they are pretty much the same thing, with exception of the chassis; I would assume they pretty much have the same characteristic on the the trail
