Clean it has been bashed on the rocks a little but I would not say it is brand new anymore. Thanks for the comment though. Yeah the box in the back is perfect for the AE-2 ESC, Futaba Rx & CC BEC. I hope it doesn't get too hot back in there. I might have to pop the top. The box was a grey color so I painted it with Krylon fusion black. I did not paint the inside so it would look funky. Yes the c-hubs and knuckles are VP and the Bead locks are from the XR10 so they match pretty close. In pics they look very close. Quote:

Loving the bigger lights in the body. Gonna have to do that. How did you attach them to the body? Also, are those Dubro hinges for the hood? I bought some for my rubi body and was wondering how you attached them. |

Yes they are the Dubro hinges...shoe goo is your friend!! I used it on the hinges and the light buckets on the grill. I only used a small amount of shoe goo to hold the headlights then applied clear silicone around them. I think they are in tight enough. If they fall out it will be from a very hard crash!! |

| Re: Project Oilcanman's Wraith....by ZippoMan Not much at all!! I think it throws really good light even with the bumper. It looks totally awesome!! Best mod for the Rubi Body!! Notice I swapped the big and small light around. It seems pretty cool to me! I am happy with the look. Last edited by ZippoMan; 01-20-2013 at 09:41 PM. |

Thanks I thought it would be a nice choice too, trying to get an oldschool color.....like an old CJ but Tamiya Copper works. |

| Re: Project Oilcanman's Wraith....by ZippoMan They are in the Wraith Kits. I was actually surpised to see them and they work great. You get two different round buckets I think and the plastic nuts for them and the clear lenses. I just fluked out and put it all together. There were no instructions on what went where because they are meant for some other Axial rig I guess. Like most RC companies they use generic parts trees. |

Nice light mods... Providing features to make stock light installation easier is one thing I am definitely looking into. |

| Re: Project Oilcanman's Wraith....by ZippoMan
Thanks for the comment, yeah it was tricky to do the front lights because I had to leave out some cage pieces for the fat buckets to fit. I think it turned out decent. The tail lights went way easier. I was thinking if you offered a smooth back piece a guy could mount any LED bucket they wanted. I am very happy with the way it all turned out and you also helped too with the extra front grill and hood pieces you sent gratis!! I just need some Jeep decals. Well I might have some in the mail from a member on here so we will see how they look when I get them. |

Here is an update! I added R2j 1/4" stainless steel links today! Awesome fit and I will show the comparison to VP Ti that I have on my TMA Service Dogs Speed Wraith. Oilcanman's Rubi-Wraith on the left and my TMA Service Dog Speed Wraith with VP Ti 1/4" links on the right in the photo below. |
