Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith 14 Attachment(s) Got some work done. HD gears in. No tranny yet. Waiting on parts. Mocked up the trans/motor for entertainent. Knocked out a 22g rear elevated shock tower from delrin and 7075. Needed more room for the XXL big bore shocks. More rear articulation now with stock ride height. Soft mini T long springs and 17.5wt right now, still a little stiff. The mount connects the old shock mounts and the floor rails for no flex. Made my electronics platform (29g). Reciever box is from 1" thick delrin (photo of the mill mess) with lexan lid. I'll grove the box so the wires can enter when I decide the final wiring. Receiver box rides carbon fiber standoffs from the ESC plate. BEC will go on a mount above the ESC that I've yet to make. Goal was to have all electronics under the hood completely clear of the suspension, wheelwells and drivetrain. Waiting on batteries (3s) which will go just north of the fire wall. Custom battery mounts soon to come. Low and forward is the key. I'll make alternative battery mount system for rear mounted parallel 1860 3s packs in case I want to drive it fast with more balanced weight distribution. Current goal is bitching crawling ability. Going with 11/56 gearing to start with. Still a lot of shock and foam tuning to go. Enjoy. Joel |
Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith I had this in my hands yesterday. I wanted to make love to it and hope it made babies...so I could have one.:shock: That rear shock mount is siiiiiiiiiiiiick. He wouldn't even take a kidney for it.:flipoff: |
Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith WOW!!! You have some completely mad fabrication skills... The photo of the receiver box and esc plate mounted is really an eye opener as to what can be accomplished. Now, how much to make a set for me? It's just what the Dr ordered!!! Thanks for the inspiration. Seems the more builds I see, whether it's a wraith, SCX10, D90, et al, unleashes so many possibilities. Thanks "thumbsup" Cheers, Todd |

Perhaps you should have offered a part of your liver!!! Maybe that would entice him... just a thought. |
Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith WOW Joel, this thing looks Killer and its not even partially complete!!!!! Can't wait to see it when it finished, but then again, when is a any truck every truly done. as everyone has said, nice machine work on those custom parts. Next time just hit x2 on the machine and send the extra to me. I'll send you a prepaid box to just drop them in :mrgreen: |

Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith Good lord Joel, your a mad man:shock: Everything you touch becomes a work of art. Just when I thought my rig was cool:oops: Keep up the insane work"thumbsup" Later, Farmer |
Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith You shouldn't think of the liver as used. It's "experienced"... Well, since you don't do contract work, :sad: I guess it's just another subset skill for me to work on. Kinda goes along with the territory of how deep the rabbit hole goes. I got involved with RC's initially to do SC racing. Discovered trail driving quite by accident which lead to scale building and crawling. Though my wife doesn't think this is such a great idea, it's becoming more involved each step I take. Thanks for keeping us up to date with your excellent build! Cheers, Todd |
Re: SkaldidDog's "Buck-Nasty" Wraith Hell I should just pull rank on him. But he would just machine his own medals and over rank me.:lmao: |

Nice. Now where could I find a block'o delrin like you used to create the box for your receiver? This rig's setup is so sweet! Thanks, Todd |
