Default Wraith build

When looking for a new RC Crawler to build on " Blackwell" axles, i ran across this great looking kit called the Wraith. I am hooked. This thing has so much potential. Using parts from CKRC and RC4WD, i think that i will really come out with a unique rig that i will enjoy modifying for a long time. 2.2 rockcrusher tires on RC4wd beadlocks, 100mm dual spring shocks (blue with black springs) to match the overall 3 color scheme. Body will be a brushed aluminum silver look. level3 has winch, mounting plates, and forward battery tray. BIG modification of rear Tubular area...must be shorter. Going to model after Bryan Cole's and Darryl's two rigs for starters. Anyone tried to bend the plastic tubing on a wraith? thinking about using heat gun...GENTLY of course. Could use some advice.

There is a wriath section here, where you will find that a couple people have modified the factory chassis. I believe they cut it, heated it, and epoxied it back together with good results I will be following this one. I am also wanting to run the blackwell axles....
