Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Well, he loves the styling of the wraith chassis, but wanted it to be tweaked a little. We went with a more "fastback" style in the rear. I am trying to make this as close to a perfect match as I can, but the original chassis is made of 1/4" and I am using 3/16", so there will be natural differences there. Blah blah blah........here are the pictures of the progress SO FAR. This is still a build in progress.

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Got the panels taped up on there for show.

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

That is KILLER! Great job so far!! I want one....I know it must be very expensive!! Time=Money!!

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady

Awesome tube work Phil!

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Thanks man"thumbsup"

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

I will be watching this thread! I will also be drooling and trying to save up for a full metal chassis!! It is almost a necessity!! ;)

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

I have a feeeling I will be making more than just another one or two....:ror:

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Wow Phil!!! That thing is so cool. Something about real tubing on a rig makes it look 20x better than its plastic counter part. You called me a machine... look at you! Damn!

I am getting really excited about this rig, every time i see a picture of it it just gets better and better. Phil is amazing at what he does that is for sure. And he goes above and beyond as a vendor, he started this thread for me cuz i don't have time with my wedding coming in 2 weeks. I like the name you gave it to man "thumbsup" "full metal wraith " that's sweet, and it fits.....even the axles are all aluminum:twisted: but we'll get to that later

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Now that is badass"thumbsup" Would like to see what it ends up weighing vs the stock chassis.
Thanks,
Farmer

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Thanks! I agree. This chassis looks way better in metal form, and 3/16". The way you are pumping out those southern chassis's, you are a machine! :ror:

Thanks! I love building chassis's for people and seeing the excitement from them. That's what it's all about"thumbsup" I am not a builder on here to make a living. I wasn't sure what to title the thread as, so I just threw that out there. Kinda catchy:mrgreen: Feel free to post your axles now. "thumbsup"

Thanks man! I will get a weight on it before I ship it to him. It is definately heavier, but not a fat pig though.

Thank you very much!

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

Had a little hiccup and the front lower rails were cut off and rebuilt about 3 times today:shock: Figured out the issue, and we are truckin again"thumbsup"

Got the new lower rails installed and the shock hoops built. I still need to make the shock mounting tabs for under the hoop, so don't worry about that:mrgreen:

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

When I get off work today I'm going to go get a new cord/card addaptor for my camera and try to get some pics of the axles put up, also I put a wanted add up for some VP VVD's, if anyone has some and wants to make a deal let me know I have all kinds of stuff to trade and I need them for this beast. My dog grabbed the long shaft of the set I have of the table and ran out in the back yard......couldn't find it, still looking but my hopes aren't very high.

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady
 

It's a roller!!"thumbsup"

Punch list:

1. Tabs for the skins
2. Front bumper/ winch mount
3. CMS/panhard mount
:shock:
Almost finished

Re: Crawlster's Full metal Wraith Built by ScaleReady

Todd

:shock::shock::shock: Damn! Sucks about the shafts, but DAMN! Those are nice lookin axles! This is shaping up to be the baddest Wraith on the RCC block"thumbsup"

Side note: I would not leave my Yard until I found that axle! Those are not cheap...as you very well know. My dog would be hog-tied and tortured until I found it.:ror:
