Added the CKRC Lowering kit. A few people had said you have to modify the front mounts a bit to get them to fit properly....You do, which sucks for a factory vehicle specific part, but I will say it was cake. Took a whole minute with the dremel

XR10 Factory Shock's seem to fit the bill. Butter smooth and lot's of flex.

VP CMS & Panhard Mounted! Anyone have an explanation why you can only 3 link the front after the panhard? I removed a link because it says too, but I didn't see any binding so I'm clueless as to the reason why.

a triangulated 4 link locates the axle side to side. with the pan hard now locating the axle that way, the 4 link is not needed.

Gotcha. Thanks Clay

Did some work today. My first time painting, so no making fun! It's actually red, but I think the placemats make it look like the paint is pink too :P

CRAWLER-DAD · 02-11-2012, 07:39 PM

Looks Great !!!! Cant wait to see it completed. and to see it in action

Sorry for the bad luck. There is no collar to hold the pin in? I thought there was or is it an option?

As a side note I called up Scott @ Axial and they're sending me out replacements, so way to go Axial as always.

The collar is on the shaft side. My issue was with the couplers. Scowl replaced tho and its all good.

Some more progress. Got the servo winch mounted, just need to take care of the spool. Also did a hinged hood.

Next I got the interior installed

And an overall view where I am.

The Crawler Gods are not in my favor on this damn Wraith. As if I didn't have enough issue's and delay's already.....

I wired the truck up last night, and I had no throttle out of the esc. No Voltage coming out at all. So I sent the ESC back to Tekin today. That's probably going to set me back 2 weeks. I'm pretty much dead in the water until I get it back.

Mudeater67 · 02-15-2012, 04:28 PM

well that SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

meffie · 02-15-2012, 07:43 PM

Yah. Oh well. I'm half tempted to just buy another one so I don't have to wait. I'm sure I'll use it eventually, lol

Build looks good, sorry to hear the trouble you've had. I was wondering if the lowering kit clears the stock hood.

With the stock mounting no, but since I did the hinged hood yes it does

meffie · 02-18-2012, 01:17 PM

Updated the build list. Still working on getting it done. Got a few more things to figure out and put together. Plus I still need my fxr back from Tekin. Double Knee Surgery didn't help with finish time either.
