Default Bombshell buggy

Taking apart a perfectly good 1.9 wraith and turning it into a rock bouncer with the help of tuner from EmeryworX.

Parts in hand:

Scx10 / xr modded axles
Wraith skid
Wraith transmission with Axial dig
Steel transmission gears
Ud rear/ stock ratio front
Dlux V2 knuckle weights
Calderwood servo plate and rear link mount
Duuuuuuuuuude risers
Tekin RS with 4s mod
Tekin 17.5
4" big bores

Parts needed:

Trail Ready wheels
Stronger servo
And a bunch of little chit I'm probably forgetting

Eventual parts down the road:
Another xr modded Scx10 axle for rear steer
Scale ls1


No pics of the actual chassis yet but this guy works fast.
If you haven't seen his work check it out.

Think I found a way to get a lightweight LS motor in the back.

Got one of these coming from Hong Kong.

Type V8LS » DEMI WORKS

That thing looks wicked It also looks really heavy. Any estimates on how much it's gonna weigh?

Stock wraith chassis is around 18oz. This chassis is made out of DOM so it will be a little heavier than some I have built. I was on the fence about using brake line or DOM but I think I made the rite choice and it's only .50 more per foot. It is defiantly a strong stout chassis.

On September 5th tuner mentioned he was waiting for materials.
On September 14th he showed pics of a finished product.

I wish I could afford to do buisness with people like this all the time.

Great job by Emeryworx. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

So will you have it in time and assembled for the next comp to run in 2.2 trail? Would be sweet to see how she does.

Negative. Still owe two payments and the wraith needs to stay together if I wanna beat you and WTChuck.
Also need wheels and tires. Got chrome trail readys on order and counting pennies for 6" swampers.
