Well things are coming together. I decided to take a little more time in the detail department and not be in a rush to drive this thing. I took an electric box and turned it into a fuel cell to cover the rear servo. I had also bought a wooden fuel cell off a guy on Scale4x4 a while back so I took the aluminum filler it came with and then added a couple fuel lines to it. Next I decided that my rear battery box was way to big and left no leg room for the rear seat so I cut 1.25" off of it and then added a tunnel to the front seat mount to cover the drive line and a tube to conceal the battery wires. I also decided to trim the rear lower corners at a *45 so the tires don't rub when turning. I got the trans mounted up and 32 pitch gears installed. I bought an assortment of gears so I can play around till I find the combo that suits my driving style. Right now it has a 56t spur and 10t pinion. Some folks said that they didn't care for the rear springs so I came up with this to try and look a bit more scale. Last but not least I received a care package from blakeski today, my new shoes, 2.2 Claws! I'm going to go back to the wheels that came on the rig when I got it as well. Thanks for looking, and appreciate any feedback. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics. Last edited by bmuzz1; 01-23-2012 at 04:00 PM. |

Updates: I received another care package or 3 today and one was from Rogue Elements with my hubs. So anyway on to the interior pics. I still need to paint and add my shifters. All the wires will be concealed in the tubes that run through the two boxes. Here you can see the room I have for a battery. Should be able to fit a 2200 3s with no problem. |

Well I powered through and got her done. I will need to add a front and maybe a rear pan hard bar, the servo is pushing the front suspension over to the side pretty good when I turn in a bind. The rear seat is fastened with velcro and holding down the battery box lid, works pretty well. The front seats are also fastened with velcro. Anyway I think she has turned out pretty good. Specs are as follows: Wraith 20t (for now) Axial tranny with RR steel output and metal gears, 32p 56t spur, 32p 10t pinion CC Sidewinder 2200 3s lipo 7955 front servo bec hardwired 5995 rear servo bec hardwired MIP rear drive shaft Punisher Looong front Punisher short to T case Punisher T case, 2.17:1 Axial axles with long beef tubes, XR10 shafts, STRC knucks and C's, HD gears front and rear. DMG front 3 link truss 2.2 RC4WD wheels/ Baja Claw tires stock foam 4oz. in each front, no weight in the rears. Team3six seats front and rear MTHead custom badging Spyderwebbcustoms Chassis custom delrin lower and upper links w/revo rod ends by me steering links are 8/32 all thread sleeved in brakeline with revo rod ends also by me Oh yeah almost forgot, and the wheelbase is a whopping 14" Sorry for the crappy blurry pics from my crappy cheap ass camera.

Ordered up a DMG truss from RPP last night for the front, that should take care of the bump steer once I get it installed.

Thanks! Thanks Erik. Quote:
Thank you Agama. Honestly I wasn't sure how this thing was going to turn out when I first got it but I knew it had potential and spyderwebbcustoms did a great job on the chassis. | ||

Last night I decided to clean out a few of my parts boxes and happened across a few sets of loose LED's so I decided to hook some up for some upcoming night runs. I used some Axial light buckets I had laying around for a set of rock lights that are located under the dash and the fronts are mounted to some front JK buckets that thankfully I saved from a trashed body I was tossing out a while back. I also wanted to show off my new toy that I got from pardonmyn00b. |
