I use a few different software packages. I use Solidworks, Microstation V8i and AutoCAD 2010.

Here is a chassis I recently modeled and built
Harley's Ibex Goat Built Wraith

That looks great!
I just got my Wraith about 2 weeks ago.
Do you have any Wraith files that may save me some time?

Sorry, I really don't share models any longer. From most people it became a lot of taking and no giving back so I just had to stop.

I can understand that. No big deal. I'll post some pictures when I get started on it.

[Harley]

Didn't have time for an update yesterday because I had to head out. Trying to sneak one in now though.

Yesterday's delivery





Install complete!




The rear axle is most impressive!

Looks sweet!!

Truck is still coming along. Only a week left until the big event at Holmes Hobbies!

Working on building up my bulletproof transmission now. Parts arrived from SuperShafty.com yesterday. Still waiting on a couple things.





I will be using an AX style trans case, not the Wraith.

[Harley]

I have one more week until the Holmes Hobbies event. My list is still long but it is shrinking. Last night was productive and I can almost see the light...




I added the Delrin boat sides

[Bulldog]

Coat them with a thin layer of KY...X2SS

Harley, I think it's time for a nice Delrin skid to replace the original. All these nice new parts are making it a bit of an eyesore

I bought a new stock version, that one is getting a little tore up It is LITERALLY the last stock piece on the truck though. It's almost sentimental.

At what point is a wraith not a wraith?

It's the old "grandad's axe" conundrum... No matter how many times you replace the handle or the head... Provided you don't replace both at once, it's still the same axe haha

Exactly! I've thought about moving this thread to the 2.2 section a few times but to me it's still my same old Wraith!

The rest of my parts for the transmission arrived. Now I just need to assemble the transmission, paint the new interior and wire everything up. I don't think it's going to get new skinz before the event. Bummer but it still looks good enough!

To me, it's still a wraith if you're rocking AR60's and a Wraith skid. You're safe. ;)

It will go in this rig if it sounds good. I haven't received it yet though. As soon as I do I will get a video up.

Harley, notice on the video build of the trans, the outputs for the drive shafts look like they have been turned down some. Is this to fit the MIP drive shafts? Or does MIP have 6mm input? Is this something Rick does now?

Watch the vid again. Harley explains it. I'll repeat from what I learned in the video. You can get the outputs in 8mm or 6mm and Harley said he got the 6mm. He also explained he's using Slayer MIP hubs with have a 6mm bore. Just watch the vid and listen.
