|  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   |

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? Regards Jokerc72 |

I really liked my Wrecklus till I got the Wraith Now I think I'm going to have more fun with the Wraith 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 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  I'm going to see if my RCP locker's will fit the diff's unless anyone already knows.    |

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.   |

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! |
