Yea not really that bad this trip but im having buyers remorse on this one a little, I only get paid once a month and I do not like to blow my check in one day and I did pretty well from last night to today...one thing didnt help had to buy a part for the pc that was dam near 4 bills ouch! but I live at the pc so...I only got one housing right now which will go in the front since the fornt is complete with everything vp now and may just leave the rear alone other then using the vp truss. Shocks I cant wait to get on it!!

Haha you would think right? Least the vp goodies is almost done not much left to get...rear lockouts, lower links, 1 gear cover and maybe the other axle housing but im not sure on that yet.
LIke to get mip shafts to and be nice to see them make axles.
At this stage I havent ran it since the first time so just wanna go play more!

badass axle case there savage. Yeah, the Wraith seems to be by far the rig to have. I just wish VP wasnt so high so I could get on some of those axle cases.

Compared to some rigs they are pretty well priced, titanium isnt cheap so $50 for 4 links with hardware isnt to bad, housings well $70 a pop is up there but a clod case is over $100 LOL

I would say it does really well, I do however need to tweak the shocks I put to much tubing inside to limit travel so it doesnt have alot of down travel.
My gf bought this last batch for bday so super cool :righton

Pic of it sittin on the wheels with new shocks? Did you loosen the spring preload collars or will that let the spring retainers fall off?

well its on its lid right now lol but dont think that will help or maybe im over thinking it, just the axle doesnt drop very far is you pick it up cause of the tubing inside. I could move the shock upper mount forward to give it more drop but like ive said this whole deal is way new to me so im not sure whats good or bad....Rob lol says it needed to drop more kinda made sense to me but who knows...more of need to see it in person its hard I think to work this on pics and a newb on one end lol.
Here is the pic of the thread I followed I pretty much set it just like his.

Look good to me...loosen shock preloads as much as you can without the springs losing contact with the lower retainer cups during droop and it should be good. Tons of travel is over rated on crawlers.

Well this has very little and I mean very little, when I set it down on the ground it drops enough on its own it will hit the one link from the panhard which is shown in the last pic...

Looks right to me...that's why I don't like the CMS...more looks and less performance.
