Great. My wallet will be crying again by the time I get an EXO and a bunch of Wraith parts. Hopefully I can find a used roller for somewhat "cheap".

yeah, i thought the same thing. kind of venture from traxxas.

i always wanted to make one with e-maxx front suspension.

i think the exo front would be an interesting build though. should make it like the new Jimmy's 4x4 ifs rig. someone call Harley.

I'm think of something along the lines of the Geiser built class one desert car. If I went KOH style it would be like the rig Robby Gordon raced this year. (former Torchmate rig)

sounds like something i would watch.

Another good candidate would be the Buckshot X2. Most are 2wd but there is a 4wd being built.

Your image made me do a google search for this beast (Buckshot x2r)... I found this. Pretty sweet!

That JConcepts body is what made me think of it. I think I may get one to put on my SC10 and get measurements off of for a cage. I picked up a Wraith skid plate and rear axle today. I'll probably make my own trailing arms to get the shock location more scale like.

JasonInAugusta · 06-15-2012, 01:35 AM

I got mine built.

Real easy to do. I did it in a hotel room.

Here's a link to Jason's thread. Problem solved

JIA's IFS Ultra4 build

Soulo747 · 06-15-2012, 07:53 PM

So what would the benefit be to an IFS on a ring like the wraith? Just curious.

Damn that looks sweet. Can we get more details......did it start as an exo or a wraith?

FRIZZLEFRY · 06-24-2012, 09:03 PM

It is prety sweet!It started out as a Wraith kit and an Exo. Its pretty quick and capable. Its a little different than driving a straight axle crawler

I thought my buddy was crazy for cutting up two brand new in the box cars but man its neat

NCT_Guy · 06-24-2012, 10:48 PM

That is pretty sweet! I think I have seen that rig on face book by a guy in the bay area maybe San Jose area? Maybe not the same one but man it's a bad a$$ looking set up for sure.
