Thanks for all the comments! The paint looks blue in the pics from my camera but it is really a deep purple.
I done some more mods.High mount rear tail lights and a leather roof. Not sure if
I'm going to like the color so I may dye it black.

I had some slop in the front hubs so I pulled them apart packed the bearings with grease and shimmed the stubs behind the pins.Seems alot tighter now.

Here are some wheeling shots from yesterday.

wildmanMG · 03-12-2013, 06:03 PM

Picked up another Wraith on trade for a Slash 4x4. This one is a RTR with stock motor and ESC and came with dig, rear steering and a Futaba PL4 radio.

wildmanMG · 03-12-2013, 06:13 PM

Since my son was part owner of the Slash, this one will go to him. I pulled the rear steering off and removed the dig out of it then moved the rear steering over along with the radio to my Wraith since this was his first one.

I couldn't use the dig in mine because I went with the one piece Robinson Racing bottom gear so I just set it aside for now.

The RTR already had the shock mounts flipped so all I had to do was move the battery up front.

Here are some pics of what they look like now.

Very very awesome.

Boggers are mandatory to cut the small lugs out.

Got a few new updates I was wanting to share.I been trying to come up with something a little bit different and I think I'm getting close to accomplishing my goal.

Johnnysplits · 04-26-2013, 07:52 PM

Yeah the RTR wraith my son drives has the 645 on it. Its alittle weak but it would do till I can afford another 7950.

You can also use 3" light duty wire leader. I got it walmart.

Wildman, that wraith is getting better and better. Really like the narrowing job. The rear steer turns on a dime doesn't it? Hey next time you are up for some running, let me know. Seems all the guys I run with have other things to do and their rides must have an inch of dust. Also have a exo now too. Would dig it if you and your son want to come to Aetna or if you guys got a cool spot to run and don't mind a tag along then I'm down with that too!

Thanks man. Yeah I love the 4ws. My buddy runs dig and he was bragging about how he could turn it around in its tracks till he came over and seen my 4ws lol. I really been wanting to get together and run. I have church on Sunday mornings but I'm free just about anytime other than that.
I just have a small trail in the back yard we run on.Its fun but about an hour it gets a little stale.Your welcome to come over when we run. I would like to make a trip to Telico or Ocoee sometime soon.

Thanks man! I'm glad it can be an influence to you!

On with some poser shots.

Johnnysplits · 05-11-2013, 06:04 AM

Do you feel that you have enough suspension travel with the stock shocks?
