|  My Wraith
I finally traded into a wraith and have been messing around with it and changing a few things to make it feel like my own  Parts list so far: VP knuckles Xvd's Trinity 8.5t Mamba Max pro Cs 170 Slw v4 's sedonas for now  What it looked like when I traded for it  less than 15 minutes into the first pack and broke an axle pin and link end   Decided I wanted to do something a little different on the cage.  Time for paint   All for now, still waiting on Santa for the rear steer and some other goodies. What do ya think |

30* bent axial links with modified xr link ends. Had to shorten the link ends about 3\16" each. Had to do some work on the cage to compensate for the width of the link end.  |

that painted frame looks sic man. im with ya, with the green beads, i would definetly change em'. thats my opinion. yer i also like the VP stars, but they're bloody $$$$$ though. i rekon black wheels w/ red beads would look trick. nice build you got there, mate |

Wow Scotty your Wraith is SAWEEEEEET!!!! You always do some cool tricks to make rigs your own and set them apart from the masses. What are your plans for your Wraith now. I hope you make it to the next comp and bring it so we can scale a bit.

Scott! that wraith is nice and so is that color. I like the idea of the rear cage with the links I just might have to copy that from you to give my wraith a more Jeep look if you don't mind brother. |

if you want to run those other wheels, and you dont want the green rings, de-anodize them with yellow top oven cleaner. Be sure to check them every 10 mins so you dont over-do it and it will start to eat the aluminum if left in too long. I usually play it safe, and pull them out a little early, and use steel wool to get the rest off, or if it starts to turn black, use steel wool and it will take it off, then give them a good soapy scrub, and your good |
