Have you tried flipping all the lower link mounts on your axles ? It gives a better COG and better handling with the sacrifice of a bit of ground clearance.

No i havent flipped them, I need ground clearance, and i dont think i need a better COG. the truck has been balanced and weighted, it wont tip easily. also, flipping the axle mounts gives you another thing to get hung up on.

ill find out and get you a measurement tonight, as i have no clue. i never ran the stock rims, so i couldnt even guess.




resuming the build on the wraith tonight. the panels are painted and ready to install. lots of custom work being done, i am building this like nothing ive seen on here before, hope it looks good.

that reminds me, i may need a new hood panel to cover the front a bit.

would like to add high clear rear links, and a couple style modifications to it to clean it up. thinking of making a couple skid plates.

stay tuned for updates, as my mind is coming up with new ideas constantly.

Rebuild 95%



reciever box in the back:


brushless esc on back wall with custom plate


Wires tucked in frame:




Floor in:


battery lengthwise to frame:


electronics from underneath:


RTR:




all that is left to do is install the second seat, and add a few touches. may build a skid plate for it as well.

thanks for reading!
