Australian Wraith - alloy panels

[sierrajim]

Here’s a bit of an expedited Wraith build up. I’ve been messing with this for a few weeks.

It started life off the same as all others and was quickly modified. The speedy swapped out to a waterproof sidewinder, the motor has been changed 5 or 6 times, now back to stock until Holmes do their next run of 13t Pro’s.

The Hitch 7950 servo is taking care of the steering quite well.

It looked a little tall for me so I went about lowering it. Not being happy with flipping the diff mounts I lowered it by raising the shocks.

The shock cross bar has been flipped with a bracing plate adding the strength back.


The front mount lays the shock back a little more helping out with soaking up the bumps at speed.


I also noticed that the “dig ready” tranny has a hole in the back that allows water in. I just glued a M3 screw in place that can be removed when the dig is available.

Also fitted up some rock lights for front and back.


Then I broke a knuckle and C, which was a good reason to get some Vanquish gear. Now fitted with knuckles, C’s and rear lock outs.
A note for new players, if your order Vanquish knuckles and C’s you’ll need to supply M3 bolts to hold the two together. The original knuckle is attached to the C using a screw.



We’ve had some alloy panels made






Then I shot it with some paint



After busting a shaft I installed some 3 Racing shafts and machined some links on my new lathe



All stickered up, making some patterns for some new products to be released in the next couple of weeks.

Alloy panels look good.
