Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Just keeps getting better and better...



Good to see you back building "thumbsup"

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Great build!!

Axial should release a IFS kit for the Wraith so we dont have to buy an exo to get the parts..

BTW, how did you end up in Hawaii?

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

looks awesome!

you probably already were gonna do this but id back this with CA & more material on the backside so it doesnt snap on ya.

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Thanks, guys.

frdtrkguy, military brought us here again.

SwampDawg, I thought about how brittle that piece would be after removing material. Not too worried about it. They make them in aluminum. :lol:


Did a little work sorting out electrical.

Got a cool switch panel for it as well. I'll have to figure out where I want that mounted a get pics of it installed later.

Last night I focused on lighting.

3Racing light kit and a G.T. Power kit are being used for now. I have 9 forward lights (until I get the chino light bar), these four for the rear, and I'll likely stick rock lights in.

Here's how the rear will look under throttle.

Now this woulda been perfect for the Exo Terra-X

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Might as well put a functional switch panel in it.

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

how come noboody anwered his question? i think that would perfect the whole car. how many ifs KOH cars do you see with trailing arms in the rear? all of them."thumbsup"

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

They are way too long.

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

...and the shock angles would be f'd

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

My point exactly, looks like a Exo with longer shocks which brings me back to my original question...What would be the point to chop them both up to end up with a Exo??? :flipoff:

Bad Ass buggy though"thumbsup"

JIH, where did you get that switch panel???

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Radio Shack

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Sway bar came in. I used the Wraith front on the back of this thing. Also stripped the green anodizing off the aluminum shock bits.

...and young_version picked these things up for me. :shock:

Oh, RC4WD is out of stock on these wideners, so if anyone has a set of these they're not using, I could put them to use.

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Working on wiring for the lights. Ran out of Techflex so I'll have to get more tomorrow.

Dimple die time.

Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build
 

Small update.

Got the tires (R35 Ripsaws for now) mounted on the new wheels. Need to find proper wideners.
