Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith Been having too much fun with it to update this thread... lol :ror: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...sky/photo1.jpg New 6.5" Crawler Innovations Ripsaws are mounted up! Vanquish Disk Brake setup OTW. "thumbsup" |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Hey rojo, In the battery tray pic, looks like you just used a flat piece of delrin, correct? Did you run the 2 outer screws through the straps? I'm wanting to do a different battery tray up front, rather than cutting down the stock tray and going that way. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner |

Thanks rojo!!! I'm guessing you used a flat washer and a nut to secure the strap, as well? Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner |

Just a few more things to do... "thumbsup" http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...DSC_0012wm.jpg |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith More work done today! Front sway bars installed. I had to use a mix of parts from the front and rear axial kits to make it work. I used the links and softest sway bar from the "front" kit and used the shorter arms from the "rear" kit. I also had to use an offset rod end to clear the shock on the bottom mount. I had to mix and match them because of my front shocks being relocated so far forward, along with the larger diameter shocks I am using. Either way, I think it turned out great, and will definitely help control the body roll a lot better at speed. I'm planning on leaving the rear without as I didn't want to kill all my travel.

Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith Approaching the finish line on this build... Last major detail, the rear deck cover: Made out of styrene and foam with the TTH logo inset into the cover. (Been watching way too many custom car shows lately...lol) Also put on a trail rack complete with cooler and tow strap. A few pics with the top off: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...y/9badfe57.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...y/fc60a14a.jpg Top on and loaded up: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...y/29e140e6.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...y/ff883153.jpg |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith Got a chance to take out the Wraith this afternoon. I'm still working on my 4WS skills, but wow is this thing capable. The 6.5" ripsaws are insane. :shock:The tread and compound really seems to work great on a variety of wet and dry surfaces... http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...DSC_0026wm.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...C_0024wm-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...C_0023wm-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...C_0019wm-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...C_0017wm-1.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...C_0016wm-2.jpg |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith So awesome, the larger ripsaws are what everyone needs. Really like the looks of them! Nice work |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith Holy shizzle! 6.5 ripsaws? CI did this? This is the first I've seen of this! They actually make the axles look scale! RC4WD...Please follow!!! Let's shift the whole hobby to 1/8th scale! |

On a side note, I have a few more special updates coming on this build... I blew out a axial universal which also buggered a felenfest locker... bigger and better parts en-route! :twisted: |
Re: ROJO's 4WS Wraith... Now with Steel GCM MetalHeads! Time to update with a few changes made over the last part of this year... Still having a blast with this truck! First off, I swapped to GCM Steel Metal-Head AR-60 axles. These were the first ones he made (and the only ones in steel that I know of). It took a little fitting between the Vanquish C and Panhard mount, but they went together rather smoothly for being a custom-ordered axle. I also chose a black oxide coating to protect the steel a bit from the elements. "thumbsup" (Internally I switched to Vanquish Lockers and VVD's. I'm still currently running under-drive gears front and rear) Also, just to note, The GCM housings give a gain of about 1/8" of ground clearance under the diff over a stock style housing. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...pse1ecfdae.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps768671fe.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps607c42d0.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps23095140.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps9dcbbc84.jpg Next up was to install a little lighting for the after-hour runs. I chose the MadDog Exo light bar (and adapted it to the Wraith) along with some MadDog Rock Lights. Wow, these things are bright! :shock: (They are wired directly to a 3s lipo.) http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps8bec3e77.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps00e252eb.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps72684e18.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...psdb5a56ef.jpg Last came a wheel swap to some LockedUp RC Rock Cutters. They required the removal of the Vanquish brake kit, but are absolutely worth it. 8) http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...ps99d7b759.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...psbcfbb422.jpg Its been raining a lot around the house, but I will try to get some out-side shots posted up soon! |
