|  Ruinx's 1.9 wraith build
I have been tossing around the idea of building a 1.9 wraith for awhile now I finally decided to pull the trigger and took apart 2 perfectly working trucks to make things happen. Once the axle swap was done (stock wraith size links) I then went about trying to figure out what body I wanted to run. I had the beat down stock Rubicon JK 4dr body from my scx. I figured that the 12.3" wheelbase was about the longest wheel base I would go so if I wanted to change the body I would only have to shorten the 3 / 4 link in the future. Well I've talked long enough here are some progress pictures. Wraith and donor truck  Axles swapped  Having driveline and upper link issues  Body  Hacking body up  More to come Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk |

Nice work man. I did the same thing with my wraith and scx10. There are a few ways to solve your upper link and driveline problems. I flipped my skid and trans around. I put some spacers on the trans side of the upper links to give the driveshaft clearance. A buddy uses a set of wroncho plates he got from a guy on face book. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk |

Well I started to cut up the jeep body and mount it but I was to long and it looked funky with 4 doors on a 2 door rig so I compromised an this is what I came up with  Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk |
