Dorkstar Productions #2: The Dark Rider The hard working team at Dorkstar Metalwerks has begun our 2nd "for sale" chassis, this one a direct Wraith boltup. For those who missed the first "for sale" build, it was the Race Bronco: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...ht=race+bronco Please stay tuned for build progress early this week! Here's what I hope to accomplish with this build: 1) Lower center of gravity, front bias 2) Front mounted full-sized battery tray 3) Chassis mounted steering 4) Winch mount 5) Retain stock LEDS and light buckets, stock skid and tranny 6) Create a durable tube chassis that looks cool and works well Thanks, RYan ------------------------- UPDATE! 7/24/11 The Chassis is currently on Ebay! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1156 Good luck and thanks for the replies! -Ryan http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/...b9f690ee_b.jpg |
How much did the last custom body go for? I know a lot of people are going to be bidding on this |

Let's begin: My Wraith as it sits (RHD version) http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6137/...eb35f3c1_b.jpg Apart, fabbing up the rails that bolt to the stock skid: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6129/...b87f26da_b.jpg Cut down the interior to create a single seater, and moved it forward a bit. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/...66f57758_b.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6010/...5f97d521_b.jpg Battery tray will sit in the front for better vertical performance: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6017/...27fbc0fc_b.jpg More tomorrow, as I have the day off to work on this. :) |
This is the first Gut job I've seen on a wraith. I'm really excited! Subscribed!"thumbsup" |
i cant wait to see what you come up with buddy |
Im sure that this thing will turn out like all of your other trucks. Nothing but incredible!!!! Cant wait to see what you come up with! |
Looking good so far Ryan "thumbsup" The way the running gear unbolts makes the wraith a great platform for custom chassis. |

This is going to be freaking sweet! Cant wait to see the finished result, and to get a wraith of my own too!! |
Got the main hoop on, and finished up the windshield. Added the rear shock mounts and the electronics tray, and the front bumper hoop. I also put a few braces in. More tomorrow! http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6014/...8635e19b_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6008/...03e9cae5_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6122/...9c430773_z.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6146/...1b17712f_z.jpg |

Looks like a great start so far. What roof is that? Almost looks like you did some lexan heating/forming. If so, good job "thumbsup" |
Interesting indeed. |

The roof is a hood from an E-revo Proline Slipstream body. |
Is this going to be a one off for sale or are you going to make these by order. |
Wow looks really cool so far!8) I like the choice of the short course body for it, thats good to know. Nice work |
