Weight of the bare chassis: 675g's. The Wraith plastic chassis weighs around 380g's. Hera's bare chassis, with a servo mount, weighs 985.

Tomorrow morning I'll be painting the panels and doing final assembly, and It'll probably go on Ebay this weekend. I'll post up!

Still leaning toward metallic red panels.

Thanks for looking!

Very nice work. I hope you do well.

Amazing job. What is the figurine you have & can you tell a little more about the RHD conversion??
Did you cut & shut the dash?

The driver is Faith from Buffy. I just chopped the passenger side of the interior off- no other modding.

Thanks!

Great concept and execution Ryan. Not sure how'll better Hera, though. I show people the video of Hera clearing that table top loading dock all the time, one of my fav vid clips of all time. Your builds are always inspiraring(sp) to me. What voltage battery did you run in TTC mud pit?

How much $ is that tubing you're using? I also hate brakeline and the cromoly is getting too pricey at $20+ for 6 feet.

Saaaaaaweet... Thats sic man nice tube work ... But to be honest all of ur builds are top notch.. You can really tell when a guy takes his Time and puts a kittle bit of heart into his build... Keep up the great work

Thanks! I run 6S Lipo in Hera at all times. :)

I was getting the tube for $5 a stick a while back, but it went up. I dont know what it costs now, I'm still going off my old purchase. A stick is like 5 feet.

The plan is to finish up a couple last minute things on her and post it to ebay tomorrow. I'll let you all know when it's live!

Thanks for looking!

At least it doesn't have a stinger on the front. "thumbsup"

Definitely needs some shorter shocks. :mrgreen:

Then it wouldnt be a "direct Wraith Bolt-up!"

Stingers are so 2009. ;)

This thing is probably going to bring in some good $$$

I know I'll be watchin'... probably will go higher than I can afford though.

Bulldog 07-23-2011 12:21 AM

Sick! My only critique is the driver...she's hot, but scales out to about 4 foot 1! How dare I nitpick on this build! The black and red is awesome and the pics are perfect. Thumbs way up!
