Neil's Wraith

Make sure when you trim it, leave enough on the front and rear end to go inside of the body and give you enough overlap to provide good glue surface.

I also had to overtrim the front wheel wells as I had the front tires hit at full turn due to the Universals. But I think it looks great.

Getting down and dirty this weekend.

If my eyes don't deceive me, that's Mr. Nukem, Duke Nukem. Good choice, but where's is his mirror?

"Come get some!"

[neillarson]

Some updates. Added a VP dig and shit canned the 4WS. went to a 27T Torquemaster, added the Crawler Innovations electronics tray and the Dinky RC rear deck. Moved the electronics to the front end. Cut top and painted a Dynamic Concepts JK body and a Crawler Innovations Canvas Bikini Top. Planned a set of 2.2 IRoks but the rules committee and my club stopped that. Well actually RC4WD did for screwing up the measurement of the tire as it is actually a touch shorter than a Claw. So I will run my TSLs on rocky terrain and Claws the rest of the time.

Electronics Tray


Bikini Top


Body Panels





Still wrapping up the electronics and interior. And finalizing the mount for the hood.

beautiful warm orange!

I gather it's tamiya transparent orange with a bright silver backing?

Actually it is metallic bronze with a black backer. Once it is together I will get some shots in my photo box and it will show better.

Bob and Doug headed out with a few brewskis

That looks sweet can't wait to get my Jeep body in also. I think this Jeep body fits the wraith perfect.

In Vernon Hills, Il? NIRC is where you need to be. We comp in Arlington, Roselle and just starting too on the nNorth Side.

[Die-Laughing]

Looks good.. I'm sure that dig will do more work for you than the 4ws.

[johnnyh66]

woe Neil, love the new body with soft top!

[BAD 1]

Thanks for the invite Neil. I have been reading the posts concerning NIRC but thought it was for members only. Seeing that i run by myself and could only have so much fun doing that. I would like to take part in your events. I am fimiliar with Busse Woods and would like to meet some real Crawlers & Trail Blazers. As far as rides i have a Wraith, Honcho, & Losi MRC. Not sure what class i would be in.

[johnnyh66]

awww sh!t, we got a contender!
Welcome to the madness Bad1!
Killer Wraith man... that'll be Class 3 and you can run your Honcho in Class 2... maybe Class 1. It looks like it'll need new tires to run in either. I have a set of 2.2 MudSlingers if ya need them

[Die-Laughing]

We'll be at Busse this weekend.. come on down
