Thanks!

The hood mod wasn't that difficult to do, actually it was rather easy, once I decided to use the extra piece from roof light bar and neodym magnets. Super easy to use no tools needed, no parts to loose.

The Driver needed some dremel as did the seat, I must have taken out at least 15mm from the back of sam, but now he fits the seat ok.

Got the spare parts for the Savöx, the CA fix didn't hold too long.

Finally got the driver seated and seat installed. Had to lengthen the steering wheel post by 18 mm turned out quite nice.

Damn, had slight bump to front wheel and servo is gone, took it apart, few wheels were ripped, but even when I replaced those, it is still gone, feels really hard to turn it by hand, and not working with receiver. Time to get new servo...

...I guess I'm done using Savöx servos, at least without servo saver that is, any suggestions for the servo or to use servo saver and if so which one???

[slimfire]

Hi Jyri

I was also thinking at a servo saver and had this in mind but did not try it actually....

I'm using Hitec HS7955TG with the stock plastic steering linkage and so far my servo is ok. Friend has gone through several very expensive Hitecs while running VP solid ti steering links.

Very nice build. I was wondering how the EXO lights would look on the Wraith. Love the vids as well.

Same here, with stock links no issues, but after Ti links, started braking the servo horns, upgraded to aluminium horns, started braking the servo case / gears / servo...so back to plastic horns or servo savers...

OK, PLS let me know if you find those somewhere available.

Where did u get the resevoir shocks for your wraith ? They look sweet !

Also did your aluminum panels come in that color or did u paint them yourself ?


Thanks Scott

[KauseKaos]

The panels he got of Ebay in the UK. I found them in the us Ebay as well cause that seller ships to the usa.

Shocks are Gmade from junfac.com. The aluminium panels came as natural, all I have done is some sanding with 400 waterpaper (w/o water).

I saw that as well when I ordered mine, but that one doesn't have the bents in the sidepanels that cover the front battery tray (fenders), but it does contain some extra parts, that I didn't need, but some might like...

[slimfire]

Yup, totally right! Indeed I like yours much more 'cos of that little feature of the bent fenders....

GREAT Build!!! Jyri would you be able to explain your wiring on your LED Lightbar? What power subbly are you ising? Which resisters did you use? I appreciate your help!
Thanks

Thanks!
If I only could remember. I used online calculator for parallel LED wiring and tested the setup with current meter. So google for LED parallel wiring and give it the voltage, LED specs + amount, check how much power they will consume and choose the resistors accordingly.
I am running mine from MMP ESC at 7V, my servos and receiver are run from CC ESC at 8V.
Hope this helps.

Ive been using this wizard to determine the wiring in either Series or Parallel. LED series parallel array wizard

Looking at your pictures the install is so clean and didnt see where you placed the resistors. Knowing your power supply helps me with what source to use now. I just need to figure out how you got your install so clean. Thanks for your help!!

I have the resistors soldered in the connector end of wires.
