Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build Great work JIA "thumbsup" <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> I tested mine and here is what I found.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The truck is very stable at speed and will be a great trail truck.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> The miss are in the steering, the throw is not enough for crawling. The steering components I have on the truck are the stock plastic one and I have to much plastic bend with a <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:metricconverter w:st="on" ProductID="430 oz">430 oz</st1:metricconverter> servo. I will have to go aluminum and find a way to get more steering out of it. <o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> I also thought that I had the front diff locked but it freed up. I had it in hot glue but that is not enough, will have to find a better way to do it.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Here are some pics of how did my front bumper as you showed me in your pics but I add 2 brace to the frame to keep the bumper from flipping backward.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Thanks for the inspiration and keep the great work. I will be playing to find a fix for the steering and I will let you know what I find. <o:p>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...702_110155.jpg</o:p> <o:p>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...702_110204.jpg</o:p> <o:p>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...702_110221.jpg</o:p> <o:p>http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...701_151655.jpg</o:p> |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build CA glue the diff gears ^^ |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I'd use epoxy, that stuff is good. Or buy some difflocking fluid and you can take it off later. |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build Quote:
I used a Wraith locker up front with the Exo universals. For steering, I added rear steer. Use the stock Wraith stuff out back. Also, make sure you move the steering toe links to the forward-most hole in the steering rack. That will give you a little more throw. I plan to use the stock Wraith bumper braces, just haven't got to that yet. |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I love this build. But it must be a rather costy one if it takes two kit's to build one. And it would be even more if you load it with aftermarket parts! |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build Quote "I used a Wraith locker up front with the Exo universals." How did you lock the the output shaft Axial EXO Heavy Duty Differential Output Shaft on the wraith locker ???? Thanks for all the help.8) |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I didn't worry about it. I put O-rings in the drive cups to take up slack when I built the Exo. Using Exo drive cups slid in to the Wraith locker. They can't come out - there's nowhere for them to go. The dogbone end of the universal keeps the drive cups in. |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I JB welded my exo front but the downfall is that if I smoke a diff bearing or ring gear I'll have to replace all of it as a unit. I dont think i'd trust o-rings to keep the output "D" from slipping out of the side gears. |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build Quote:
With universals installed I left the O-rings in place. The diff drive cups can't pop out because they're kept in place by the universal shaft/dogbone - whichever you're using. It's no different than simply sliding your Wraith shafts in place and allowing the ends of the axle shafts to sit in the Wraith locker. I'm doing the same thing, but by using the Exo drive cups, I can use the Wraith Locker (or any aftermarket locker like a Felsenfest) and tighten the locker setscrews (with aftermarket) on the drive cups instead of the axle shafts. Only REAL difference is I have a hinge point (drive cup/dogbone) on each drive side that allows the IFS to work. Make sense? |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I will give it a try with the stock dog bone, the universal are on there way. Playing the parts waiting game again. :roll: Thanks again"thumbsup" |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build Quote:
I see where your coming from but what happens when the o-rings get torn and spit out by the end of the dog bone plunging in and out when the suspension cycles? One of those clamping spools would probably be the best idea. |

Small update. MadDogRC lights arrived. :mrgreen: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...09477656_n.jpg The dual 4" Exo bar fits perfect. "thumbsup" http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...83461419_n.jpg http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...60691289_n.jpg Later today I'll install the others. Night runs WILL NOT be an issue. :lmao: |
Re: JIA's IFS Wraith build I like how much crap you guys are giving him over the out drive cups. He built this thing in a hotel room with little more than a few hand tools, I'm sure he made sure they aren't gonna fall out. |
