As soon as they arrive :P

Still in the mail. I just like being a tease, lol

Got my bumpers in! Notice the custom fairlead!

meffie · 03-06-2012, 08:50 AM

Front Bumper Mounted. Having the fairlead really helps to hide the servo even more for an even better scale appearance.

meffie · 03-06-2012, 01:49 PM

Got the front end all wired up.

meffie · 03-06-2012, 01:51 PM

Got the light bar installed. Not sure I dig how low it sits, but with the angle of the roof piece, I kind of don't have a choice. My original plan was to turn the roof backwards and it would mount flush (Thanks Marc), but again, the roof screws me. Maybe I'll try and find someone to cut it, but for now this is what it is.

meffie · 03-06-2012, 01:51 PM

Let there be light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the lights are running directly off 3S with a toggle switch. Didn't want them on all the time :P

If that's the gear head light bar, I believe they make a Wraith specific mount for it. Saw it on Rpp site. Def need to move it. Everything else looks good

yeah, the light bar would make for a bit of a blind spot for the driver....Awesome job on the wiring, ultra-tidy.

just go buy a pair of cheap tin snips...they are like scissors for aluminum...and you can cut it yourself easily

Subscribed. Awesome build.

It's Krawlfreak's bar. Plan on moving it, it was just the best option I had right at that moment.

See above. And thanks! Once the boatsides and such are on, it should all be 100% hidden from view.

Few Updates.

I upgraded to a Super Shafty Top Shaft which in turn let me run Robinson Racing 56T Hardened Spur. So my Tranny is all hardened now, and should be just about bullet proof.

I also moved down to a 13T RR Pinion.

This also allowed me to put the spur cover back on

meffie · 03-13-2012, 02:27 PM

Next I finished up the wiring and got my box installed.

Once I make a rear deck, you won't be able to see any wiring.

meffie · 03-13-2012, 02:28 PM

Also got the skins installed.

meffie · 03-13-2012, 02:30 PM

The new bling I spoke of is here. I'll try and get them installed tonight.

meffie · 03-13-2012, 07:08 PM

New Wheels on.

meffie · 03-13-2012, 07:18 PM

Rear Bumper installed!

meffie · 03-13-2012, 07:23 PM

Rotated the roof and mounted the light bar higher. Looks much better now.

desertmaxx · 03-13-2012, 07:44 PM
