Tailight holders were made from .032 thick aluminum, came from my hobby shop in 4x10 inch sheets and cost 3 dollars. I could probably make about 5 pairs from that one sheet. I used construction paper to make a template, made my bends in the paper first and layed out my holes with marks. Then I traced the template on the aluminum and marked the holes with a centre punch. I drilled the holes first(4, with a cordless drill)then cut out with a jigsaw, filed to smooth and debur, made my bends with needle nose pliers, very simple and cheap to make.

I might have to try to make a set if you don't mind. I think they would look good on my honcho with a custom rear bumper

It's the back of the Wraith kit manual, not a pit mat. Those tailight holders are actually pretty small. As far as being sponsored or any way affiliated with Axial, not a chance. I am just a regular guy, with a regular job(mechanic) living in Canada. I've got a great hobby shop here, and everything else has come from RPP. I don't think I would be complaining about waiting for the dig unit from Axial if I worked for them. That's what I get for sharing I guess.

Beautiful build. Super clean and just plain badass. Honcho on steroids is right!

Very excited to see how you end up doing the paint scheme

Wanna see this beast with some ripsaws under it

Hi all, been busy at work and haven't had as much time to work on the truck, sorry. Good news is I have a painted body to show now, not quite done with the decals, made most myself and its very time consuming. This is what I call my race body, hope you like it and thanks for the support! I cut the doors Wraith style on both sides, follows the lines of the cage pretty good, and you can really see the interior.

Front shot, need something(decal) for the roof, still thinking.

Back shot.

"Rock Warrior", I love it on this truck.

Another front shot.

Really wish I had a better camera, official Toyota "Race Track Use Only" decals on the dash, reminding the driver there is no warranty on this Toyota product.

[Mechanic]

Any ideas on what to put on the roof?

[Mechanic]

I gave up and ordered the hot racing dig kit for my wraith trans, can't wait for Axial anymore, but when theirs is available I will probably switch. Electronics will start after I get the dig installed. Last photo for now.

Here is some comparison photos to a 100% stock TR.
