Ever since I got into this hobby I have wanted to build a 1.9 wraith, but thought it was too much for my limited experience, until now! I have a few scx10 builds under my belt, so I bit the bullet and bought an RTR wraith and a dingo kit and got building.

Specs so far:

-wraith chassis. Chopped back with stock links added
-proline Jeep body
-wraith trans
-hitech wp servo on axle
- scx10 axels
- stock electronics for now
-1.9 pit bull rock beasts on ME monsters with .45 offset
-g-transitions shocks in droop on flipped level3 droop kit
-rear 4 links are alum lower links from the dingo kit
- front 4 link 65mm posts
- honcho dropped bed
- VP 8* knuckles, c hubs and lockouts
- axial CVDs
-Overdrive in the front and underdrive in the rear
-flysky gt3c
-Old man Logan driver (so awesome)

there's no post limit for pics. host them to a photo sharing site (photobucket, etc) and then post the links here.

Really? last time I tried it didn't work. I will try again.

brianw · 10-09-2012, 10:19 AM

Nope, that's it. Did you use the img tags?

UnlimitedJDB · 10-09-2012, 10:58 AM

The RTR stripped down.

The body trimmed for mock up

Flex Test after getting all the links sorted out

Maiden Voyage

Added a trimmed dingo bumper

UnlimitedJDB · 12-05-2012, 10:50 AM

New mayhem monsters and a bit a tweaking for more flex!

UnlimitedJDB · 12-05-2012, 12:08 PM

I love my 1.9 wraith!, yours came out awesome man!

UnlimitedJDB · 01-13-2013, 06:00 PM

Made a few changes.. Plati-dipped my electronics and added RRP metal trans gears. Also added CI foams, but went to firm, so I need to try another combo.

Great thread. What total length eye-to-eye are your links and shocks? Also, what is your wheelbase? I'm impressed by your rig's flex because my 1.9 wraith does not flex nearly as well.

4X4 Freak · 02-13-2013, 08:43 PM

Man that rig looks great! I love the area that you were going up creek where is that at if I may ask.

Wow, thanks! And it was an iPhone photo too! There are a few spots that are pick up or winch on that line, but she did better than most

I run 90mm g transitions with droop brackets, and my rear links are 4.5" and fronts are 3.75 lower and 3.5 upper. Wheel base is 12.25.

How is that for flex?

Most of the photos is this thread are on mount Douglas in Victoria BC.

Added a wild willies driver. I made him for another build, but Logan suited it better and vise versa.
