The first Set I modded was for the ol' IFS Wraith I built waaaaayyyy back in 2012.

What size slw hubs are you using? Just built an ifs wraith (wrexo) and i can't figure out what size slw hubs to use in the front and rear to get the track widths the same. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Depends on your wheel offset first. I would start with a 225 hub but depending on your wheels that may not work and have clearance issues.
Out back you'll need to go with a wider hub to make up the difference. It would depend on your wheel but I am guessing a 600 or 725 hub out back.

That was just a guess, it will depend on the wheels you are using and their backspacing. I keep a mix of SLW hubs on hand for test fitting, then when I find the correct offset, I order up the full set.

Good Luck!

Here is a pretty cool flyer made up in East Texas showing the rig I built on the left and Eddie's other rig on the right. He owns both.

Man, that pic/poster belongs in the WOW thread, very decieving poster, both the pic and the use of txt.

Sweet rig my friend. Thanks for sharing with us. Another great build. This is definitely an inspirational build for me. :cool:

[mojave450rider]

seeing it on the poster makes me want to build another one for myself or maybe a tweeked version of that chassis.

Eddie is continuing on the build over here. He has made some recent changes not shown in his thread.

Crawler Innovations "Big Blue" - 2.2 KOH Crawler; wraith based

it would be tough to beat building something similar to it

I meant he has the rig now and is rebuilding the running gear and has changed up a few things to his liking. I have ran 3 G6 events with Eddie driving Big Blue. I am glad I still get to see it in person from time to time.

How much would a chassis like that run? Just bare metal. No powder coat.

This is Axial country, on a quiet night you can hear a Tamiya rust.

A fully finished chassis will run you about $350- 600 from a vendor here on RCC.

I pick up unfinished projects and rebuild them myself. That's what I did with this chassis. Got it about 40% complete from Mojave450rider.

This makes me want to build a KOH rig

This chassis was for sale in the for sale section not too long ago. I almost bought it back.
