Judging from the 4 lights sticker that is a proline bodyshell, isn't it? Nice to see it fits the tube profile like a glove! And even more nice I still have a new Proline FJ40 too! It's a first series with the correct grille design. Woohoo I knew I was keeping it for a reason! |

DOH!!! I'm so into this hype for the Wraith I didn't really watched the chassis but only the body... Oh, well... nice rig anyway |

Got to do a test drive today with stock electronics. Let me tell you the summit transmission is just what the wraith needs. Great low speed and fun top speed. I will be installing a better motor, my brxl esc and servo soon. The truck handles much better than stock with some extra weight down low. Even got some power slides today.
