Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts 17 Attachment(s) Saw this http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...ith-build.html and got inspired to do a build with the Exo and wraith. Goal is for a lightweight, go fast, get some cardio in, semi-scale build. Most of my builds miss the scale touches and this one will be right on par with that. Axial Exo Kit (no babies were injured while building the kit) Axial Wraith Chassis (body will be covering it at a later date) Custom centered Wraith rear axle by Carter Fab, stock gear turned down to accommodate shaved diff. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axles...-housings.html To be continued.... |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build (of sorts) Should be seeing that axle at your place tomorrow. Looking good Shane. |

Quick mock up. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts That's a super cool rig. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Quote:
Wheels/tires are mock up only. I'll have a little bit of a challenge to get the correct offset wheel up front, since the exo is kinda wide up front. It will probably have to be a 2.2/3.0 wheel setup. |
Looks great. Nice work on the axle, Clay. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts I think the IFS and solid rear are what makes it cool. The front is wide for sure. Make it easy and match the rear width to the front. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Needs trailing arms and double rear shocks. :mrgreen: I like it, looking forward to seeing you chase this thing around LRC with your floppy hat |

My choice will be here Monday and I'll mock it up and see what it looks like. Trailing arms are on the to do list. Not sure if I'll make them or what. I have the Exo exo-cage here and thought about modding it to the wraith cage as well to run the longer shocks. I'll have to work on my cardio the next few months "thumbsup" |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Check out the Jconcepts Bajr body. It's the body rgerrish used on his slash hybrid |

The baja is one of my next choices if the bronco body I have coming in next Monday does look good. Kinda going for the truck/boxy look. We'll see. Put the Exo wheels/ tires on for width reference and put the wraith shocks up front. Much better ride height with the same amount of travel. Front = 11" Rear = 10.5" Any one know if 2.2/3.0 tires are legal in G6 events? Guess I should search cause that is what I am going to have to run up front with the exo knuckle arm setup. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Bawls yo!!!! Love it! |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Looking good Shane! I can't wait to see it in person. Scale touches or not, if it ends up half as nice as your f-toy you will have a bad ass rig! |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts Quote:
- Tires may be 1.55, 1.9, or 2.2, but must be a licensed manufactured tire or knock offs. Tires must resemble the real thing and can only be siped or grooved. No other alterations may be made. |
Re: Szczerb'a Wraith Build, of sorts The new RC4WD Hitman wheels clear the Exo knuckles. That's what's going on my rig. Pro-Line Powerstrokes (Slash rear) will make that front end buttery smooth. If you plan on grafting the Exo rear into the Wraith cage, you'll need to mount your rear shocks on the outside of the shock mounts at the axle instead of mounting them in the shock mount. |

I have used your thread as a build guide so far and saw how you mounted the rear shocks with the exo rear graft. I'll be doing that setup if the body fits right. I'll have to wait til Monday to start looking at mating the two. |

Traded off everything else to Nova's Ark for some new 5mm Axial trans outputs, tires/foams and the CI Wraith Electronic's tray. Quote:
