It really wasnt hard to mount them at all. It also prevented me from drilling more holes in the body which is a good thing. Last edited by Warlord_Coleman; 01-20-2016 at 10:58 PM. | |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Starting the thread back up again. Been busy with other things the past couple months and just broke my leg mountain biking, but fortunately now I have plenty of time to post stuff. Even though I haven't been posting there has been some MUCH NEEDED progress on The Pale JK. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Here is what I got lined up for the pan-hard set up. No binding and hopefully no bump steer still need to make a steering link once I get the servo I want. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Some more of how the CMS is set up and the three link. The CMS is going to be just a standard sized servo. I think I'm going to go with a Savox SA-1231SG. I still need to get links made to replace the stock plastic Wraith links. I'll have the front links shortened a little bit as well. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build I also had to change the transmission on this build. The stock Wraith tranny was too tall to fit under the interior of the Jeep. I went with the RC4WD, R2 Black Crawler Transmission V2. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Had to go with a longer driveshaft in the rear as well. Went with the standard SCX10 MIP kit and got the dogbone for a Traxxas Summit, gonna be a perfect fit. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Also used some styrene to make a box to hide the electronics and get more of that scale look. |

| Re: Wraith JK Build Finished! Just a few finishing details and I need to take it out for a maiden run and see if there are any mechanical issues. |

Dig that hue. Looks like a Tamiya JN grey.

Looks great dude. I am also a fan of the paint color. Have you noticed any adverse affects from the forward angle of the rear shocks? |
