    Hey guys. Bought my first electric RC Truck. Got a Veterra Raptor 4x4(great truck so far). Anyone have a good source for tips on suspension setup and gearing?

    Got it new on sat, have run about 6 batteries through it. All free mods so far. Sits lower and added a little weight to the front and rear axles. Any more free mods you guys know of for a wraith? Also good upgrades?? I need a better servo cuz my steering is a bit weak in the rocks.

    Here is my wraith build thread... All the best electronics except I now have a holmes hobbies BRXL waterproof ESC.

    I like my SAVOX SG1231 servo... Super torquey in the rocks. I forget if I have my aluminum front links still or not... But if I do you can have them for shipping

    Next mod you should do is a "fast back"... I also have the jeep body Thats pictured in my build thread... You can buy that too :devil:

    Second the fastback mod. For durability I would look into metal upper and lower links, aluminum c's and knuckles as well as tie rod and drag link. If you upgrade batteries and motors you're going to have to get some MIP driveshafts and possibly steel transmission gears too. I've been out of the game for a while but I had all these on my wraith and it was solid. Should be selling my tacoma today so I plan on getting another short course truck and an scx10 to make a scaler of my 82 :D

    Edit: I would also ditch that Tamiya connector and put a deans or traxxas on. My wraith almost caught on fire with that connector. It has a lot of resistance and got really hot in my experience
