Default wrx-n-ktm's PSC Wraith WIP

[I picked up the new Wraith when if first came out because my LHS had them on sale for $360.00 I couldn't say no! I got the truck and 2 sets of pro-line TSLs memorial day weekend and have not ran it until yesterday!
As soon as I got it I sold the radio and ESC from it. Then I got some built axles from Axialjeepster in a trade so I sold the stock axles to Harley. I also sold off the krawler tires, I decided to not even give them a try when I lightly tugged the tire and lost the bead on the tr rims immediatly.
So now the truck currently has......
-VP stage 1 kit in silver/raw
-VP Ti link kit 10 piece
-Axial uneversals
- beef toobs front and rear
-unknown brand of aluminum diff covers
-VP Slw 350 hubs also have 250 hubs if I want to narrow it.
- Spektrum s3000 rx dx3e tax
- stock ESC back in for now
- hitec hs645mg servo (starting to strip already!)
- CC 10a BEC
- proline TSLs
For the future I want a tekin ROC 412 3100kv, some kind of decent servo, VP aluminum rims KMC, better shocks(not sure which ones yet),DMG stuffy kit hopefully. I'm sure I'll think of more and more.
This morning I pulled the trigger on the fastback cage mod. I used the top piece uncut not sure if I'm going to keep it this way or cut it. Opinions wanted!!!!

Here are some pics....

Cage turned out sweet. One of the best ones I have seen. Interested to see what shocks you go with.

I'm sure a lot of people have, especially after Harleys video! I haven't seen the top being re attached yet, so I wanted to try it out. Not sure if I'll keep it like that or not. I think I like it!

I am also in need of some proper CI foams. Just haven't decided what combo to go with.

looks bad ass!! built well also

you forgot to mention, those axles also have the Axial HD R&P gears f/r, on some hiland no slop lockers. BEEF


for foams. maybe go with the 5.5 getup with MED outters f/r and closed cell inners. I like to run the same f/r. I have even been known to run stiffer front outters for more steering support. I hate when Im going down something and want to turn and the tire cant hold up and folds.

when you have very soft tires such as TSL SX's you dont need super soft foams. I dont think it helps when your tire wrinkles up, or "conforms" too much.... jmo
