Scale batteries are nice. I had not seen them before. Gotta get some of those.

NOT WATERPROOF.

Give me 2 of those CI trays and a set of those inner fender wells and I will make every attempt to make it waterproof. Just need some silicone and a rattle can of spray on bed-liner.

Well I decided to not hack the tubes off of this set of axles, but I did shave and plate them. Gained .125 in clearance. Installed the 36/14 gears to make this possible, they are .100 hundred smaller on the od of the ring gear. And now I'll be dragging steel instead of aluminum. Plus it's cool and a first.

Why MTHEAD is the best. Sucks alli got is a phone for camera. Does no justice.


And my 1.9s. This stuff is tiny.

Makes for easy access for living up the gears with some Team 3six rocklübe. And I can see that beautiful locker.

Boing! I likeeeee...

Front axle is built except for new link truss. Chose to keep the VP pan hard mount, it's a very nice piece and one less thing for me to build. Assembled front weight is @ 11 3/4oz as of now. Rear is 9 1/4oz with out crossmember. Freed up 4oz out of my front wheels by removing the 3oz lead weight, replacing one beadlock ring w/new delrin ring, and the new style CI dual stage foam.

I'll get better pics one of these days.

ship them to you and how fast could you get them back?

Team CFM, Shooter Fab, 1daywraps.com is what it feels like in my inbox these days hahaha

the NEW breed!

that axle is ridiculously sexy! and the wheels? who made those, and who made the beadlock? is the beadlock aluminum????

[CarterFab]

Brian, check with mthead on these forums. His vendor thread is probably at the top of the list in the wheels section. He did the beadlock rings, they are delrin. The wheels are RC4wd Predator. They look like the 1:1 Walker Evans Racing wheels, just like my dads.


The 1.9s he did are like the Poison Spyder Spyderlocks I have as well.

Added the ole tried and true cheap hubs from axial, slightly modded to fit these wheels.

Oh yeah, wheels are aluminum just to clarify.
Brian send me the axles and I'll send em back with the cage. I'll have it done this weekend. Grab a set of the gears as well to get the clearance. Axial # AX30401. Just strip the axles and box em up.

damn i got some catchin up to do boys! lookin at all your fancy schmancy parts, and i havent even broke a single part on mine yet or upgraded a thing!

Better get back to work i guess!!

[1daywraps.com]

i never even drove mine to break anything haha...i won't have time to disassemble the axles tonight and i won't be around this weekend to wrench on it...i can possibly get to it monday night though! I have the rc4wd aluminum housings, will that matter? and i already have the gears...i have ever possible ratio axial released...and i have the ARB covers

[CarterFab]

These are Rc4wd housings also. Just got the full CFM treatment, other than what's coming on the next set, evil laugh. I can mod yours to accept the VP pan hard mount if you want also.

well shit! what the heck did you do to change them exactly???

[CarterFab]

Let's have some fun. First person to notice and identify the other modification to the axles gets a free aluminum panel of their choosing from CFM for the Wraith. Excludes side panels.
It's not the shaved diff, color change or the fact that a VP pan hard bracket is mounted to the RC4wd housing. Good luck.

The rc4wd housing has some extra material around the link brackets that has to be removed.
