The docs wraith
 

Let the fabing begin. The first thing to go is the steering,
new servo, new drag link and tie rod, turned the tie rod up
and made it fit tighter to the diff. 2nd get rid of the stock motor
and esc. Took the 18.5 brushless Goat out of my old comp rig and geared it up a tad

Steering links look great, nice work "thumbsup"

Steering link looks superb! By the way, how long for the drag link from hole-hole of end ball. Thanks.

It looks to be about 104mm.

Hi,

is the drag link a fake or does it really work as servo saver?
Was it made by your own or where can i buy it?
Great job?"thumbsup"


Regards Jokerc72

Like the steering links...

It's suppose to look like a ram. With a good servo you don't need a servo saver

I really liked my Wrecklus till I got the Wraith Now I think I'm going to have more fun with the Wraith"thumbsup"
One thing I really like is it's about 5 to 6 LBS lighter, but it doesn't have the detail and hr's that it took to build the Wreckluss.

Well I decided to chance some stuff around after doing some scaling or should I say not scaling, I couldn't follow my JK and the scaling group because this thing is a tad to big so I just blasted over the obstacles and went on a speed run "thumbsup" that was a blast. The lower links didn't hold up to good they started to bend so I made 1/4'' aluminum ones, the uppers are good so far. I'm waiting for my motor from John, Mayhem wheels and my VP stuff to show to put in so to kill time I'm taking a Ofna reciever box and water proofing it for a Tekin RS Pro. (guess its going to see water and mud) I've also seen some putting the tail lights into the rear panel but I think they look too big so I went to my magic box of parts and put in some smaller chrome ones, I think they look better :mrgreen: I'm going to see if my RCP locker's will fit the diff's unless anyone already knows.

Can you show us how to make the drag link?and how long are the lower links?

The lower link rod is 3.765 (rod only)

I used a 1/4'' piece of solid aluminum (1.900 long) and drilled and taped it to
6/32'' on both ends.

Than I took a solid 1/8'' rod and used a die to make threads (6/32'') about 1/4'' to 3/16'' in on each end. (over all length of the 1/8'' rod is 1.710)

I had a couple of the Axail linkage kits part # 80005 that I used for the lower link ends and the drag link ends.

The 100 qt cooler is done with the FXR, RX and the RC-Lights switch inside and installed my Power Tank.

Man that cooler looks pretty damn good

Really good idea there! "thumbsup"

what about the batteries re-location?

How many rod end packs did you need for the lower links?

The battery is under the hood behind the dash, perfect spot for it.

You'll need 4 packs (you need 8 pieces) but your going to have a lot of extras, You need the pieces on the lower right corner of the bag, they have a angle on them 10* or 15* something like that. I just have a lot of spare parts from all the builds I have done

Got a driver for the rig, now I just have to find a long sleeve shirt so I can hook his hand to the steering wheel, put in a servo for the steering wheel.

Took out the factory light kit and put in a RC-LIGHTs kit with working brake lights and I'm almost finished with the light bar.

Well done with the light bar - this looks as if it can take some abuse as rollover-protection!

Thumps up!

very nice job doc!
love the cooler!
