My wroncho build

[SkyJacked]

Iv seen so many wroncho's on here and I decided to build my own. heres my list so far 12.5 wb
-stock wraith links
-mirrored trans
-wraith drive shafts.
-gmad 93mm aerated shocks
-wrath axles
-scx10 frame
-aluminum wheels
-2.2 tsl's
-vp wraith pan hard for the front w/ blue monkey mount for frame.

I need advise on what is should do as far as if I should just make links for a 4 link setup front and rear or if I should pan hard front a rear. also what motor setup should I go with and will a 645m hitec work with the 2.2s

here are pics of frame and just a mock up with links sitting in there

[SkyJacked]

Any thoughts on 4 link or pan hard ? Will a 645mg hitec have enough power to hold up the 2.2s? I'm thinking a tekin 35t system also

[arctichorse]

That truck just screams brushless but the Tekin 35t motor is awesome! I had one, although my FXR went up in smoke in less than 2 weeks on a fairly new 2s battery (still have the battery and runs just fine on my current ESC), the motor lasted a while, it's demise was a mud pit, I only go Castle for ESC's now, the waterproof SV3 is actually a really all around great ESC, can program it for brushless or brushed motors and the drag brake coupled with a great motor will hold great.

I love my Tekin 35T motor, there's enough power for me. I think brushless is too much power, that's just my opinion. I never had a problem with my esc everything works as It should. This is the best motor and esc combo i have.

The 645 mg is way under powered.

3 link+panhard up front works and looks awesome, as well as won't cause link/driveline contact. For the rear, I made some anti-squat cheater plates to raise up the rear upper links as well as get away from upper link/driveshaft contact.

Any big tire rig screams sensored brushless, it can be too much power when the trigger finger is like a light switch. Drive it according to terrain and it'll treat you well

Are your drive shafts touching ur links? If u can take a few pics of it

[SkyJacked]

Ya I'll get pics tonight, the trans is mirrored so drive shafts don't hit with pan hard up front. What servo does anyone suggest then?

[SkyJacked]

worked on it a lil today and mocked up pan hard for the front after I did the frame swap. The other frame was cute right behind the rear shock towers so it was not gunna work o be able to pan hard the rear.
Here are some pics of the new panhard 3 link set up and drive angles

[79SCX10]

I've got a hitec hs 7954sh, im running 1.9 wheels so I don't know if you want to go a different route because you got 2.2's. Now that I think about it I should of got a water proof servo.

[SkyJacked]

I was thinking I shouda got a traxxas water proof bot not sure how much water this will see and it will be chassis mounted so no much water gunna be up that high

[racer]

I love the wraith axles...just a little wide for a scale look.but it does look capable.

[SkyJacked]

ya I love the wide look. I figured since theres 2 jks and a stock honcho sitting on the shelf I had the scale rigs covered y not build a monster.

Yeah that's what I'm probably going to do is the chassis mount on my truck.

finally got time to work on the rear 3 link. now I just need motor and and cms. I ordered one from vanquish since it sits all the way up front and should be outta the way from the front 3 link. I went ahead and mounted my rc4wd wireless winch to my bumper. just don't know if I wanna hide under body or leave out fornt. ANY OPTIONS ?

[SkyJacked]

switched bodies and just purchased a novak 18.5 crawler system from old man 52 (awesome guy by the way). cant wait to get it in. think im liking the hidin winch instead. just gotta trim body a lil bit.

[Case182]

Loving the black and silver f250's. Great build too.

[SkyJacked]

Thanks, by far one of my favorite bodies out. Couldn't have 2 jeeps without 2 fords lol.

[WraithVader]

Nice build, the super duty bodies look great!

[SkyJacked]

finally having time to get back on the project. tightened all the links up, straightened out the rc4wd cms. pan hard front and rear, motor and tranny installed. just needing to trim my battery plate and rear drive shaft. looking for ideas where to mount the electronics. any suggestions would be helpful
