Default stretchwreck rebuild

had this stretchluse on some axial axles with some mutiwidth hot racing wideners. i wanted the width, but without the wideners.



then i got so lucky with a set of wraith axles from RPP (great service btw, thanks Corey) assembled them and this is what i came out with...





i had some drive shaft clearance issues but i solved that. i cut the lower section and moved it out.

ill post the updated pics soon, im in between another build at the moment

I really like this stretched out Wreckluse, I really like it. I noticed that you are doing axle mounted servo. I am trying to figure out how to do CMS on it.

Looks good. Are you going to make your own body panels?

They are actually a really thin sheet of aluminum. It's thin enough to get dented and banged up for that really scale look. I found the material at a local hardware store and it is actually intended for the dryer ducting.

I will post pics later on today.
