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!

This isn't the wraith tube chassis. Its a custom dmg tube chassis made for the fj body.

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.

Thanks drew, it surprised me how well it handles. Must be the extra weight down low.
