    Ahh - that's a different guy. JandG was there too and I think he posted some pics also. His Wraith is all jacked up but he met us just to chill and take pics/videos.

    Great group of guys for sure.

    AILD's son came out with us and drove his RidgeCrest for the first time - really cool to see him out there. He did great!

    I have these three esc and motor combos, not sure which one is best, because two are Brushless. I dont know much about brushless.

    I have wraith I like to do some rock crawling and trail driving with.
    Originally Used FXR with 35t and liked it but would like little more speed for occasional burst of speed, While still able to crawl.
    With stock gearing in Wraith
    Here are the ESC/Motor combos I have

    Tekin FXR ESC, 35t Brushed motor

    TEKIN PRO ESC, 17.5 Brushless motor


    AND Traxxas VXL-3s ESC/ 3500 brushless motor.

    Anybody Used any of these motors or esc.

    Both have there place. I take the round smooth end of a paint brush (not bristle end of course) and burnish any edges down right before I spray on masking tape. And the stuff from Lowes works just as good as the overpriced stuff from the hobby shop. Vinyl, I just turn a hair dryer on it for a minute and rub down any lifting edges, again right before spraying.

    Taco, what body is that, for a SC, correct? I'm guessing SC cause the rear shock tower "humps" don't appear right for a ST.
