    Sweet. We need to go wheeling soon. I want to add a little weight to the front. Thinking about ordering the beadlocks and add some weight.

    Some nice Honchos's, here's a few of my wraith with my new custom mods(roof, roll bars). I'm so ready to tear the trails up again. Oh and I waterproofed my rx with the balloon method and drilled holes in botton of rx box for water to drain. Gonna get servo done and should be good to go for a swim. In the kiddie pool anyhow.

    Why does it say vaterra on the side?
    I had a mrc once I didn't like it I found it to be too small . but that was because I only had used 1/10 crawlers.

    Vaterra is the brand who makes it, it basically a mrc with a cage, metal lockers, and waterproof. I love my mrc pro, its a fun very capable indoor crawler for the rainy days. I have a vaterra twin hammers and it is a awesome rig so i imagine this is along the same lines with durability.

    Yeah I like the vaterra look, seems the lightbar for it comes out this month sometime for like $15? Seems cheap but I havnt seen a pic of it.




    My mrc pro is a great little crawler, I am just thinking of the slickrock cause its a more updated version.

    New Traxxas 12t in the Torment. 550 vs 540, seems like it may have picked up a few ponies. Gonna swap the 19t pinion out for a 18/20 and see what's best. Gonna get it race ready for my step son.
