I like this truck so much (now that I finally got it all sorted out) planning another one. Maybe different axles though.

What front bumper is that? I like!!!

I'd give it a go before venting. I'm a big non vent fan but it's mostly personal preference.

Heavily modded Integy. Stock, it looked godawful. Much better with some trimming. Wasn't sure at first, but it's grown on me.

I'm McLovin this thread lately, been thinking about building a 1.9 Wraith for awhile. I have spare axles, tranny, lots of links, tires, just need wheels Wraith cage and a few bits.

Lots of great looking 1.9s in here and love all the trail pics!

I've seen a few wraith axled rigs running 1.9 work just as well with the smaller wheel/tire setup while retaining a scale look. Nice!

The Wraith chassis seems to lend itself to hacking and melding so readily and I'm glad to see more people modding. For the next one I'm thinking of chopping some spare chassis rails with an SCX SKID to insert in place of the Wraith skid.

DO IT! Build thread and pics please.

The blue F150 bodied truck, what is it?

Heres mine from a recent local comp

All these 1.9's are taking over my attention span. Really considering swapping over to it as well, the scale look is amazing with these.

Djjiz! I blame you for this. (Why? Because it's convenient. )

So aside from the SCX10 plastic axles for a scale swap, what are the other options?

Mine in the pic above started out with WK axles then it had scx10's and now has narrowed wraith axles, I found it to be more stable with the WK or narrow wraiths. I took around 25mm out of the long side.

Hmm.. I like that idea alot.

Didnt even notice the axles in the picture till your post, just saw the wheel/tire size compared to the rest. lol

Scout is sitting a hair under 12 inches. Has issues in some spots but exceeds in others.

The blue oval is a local drivers modded Blackfoot bodied, dingo wheelbase SCX. It was his first run without some pivotal mods and it did great. Some weight in the wheels and tuning will grant this thing goat hooves. Can't wait to see more of it but some short vid clips of it will be available soon.

I love seeing these over the normal 2.2s, when I built mine it was the vq metal housing they were great I ended up at first using 1.9 revolver rims for weight then added 3.3 stiff buggy foam and two wraps of stick on weights with my pitbulls with all forward weight it got close to 20 pounds made the low clearence and big belly a joke front tires always hook and pull and brings me bal why I love these 1.9 more the challenge to plant your tires

I've seen a few with RC4WD T-Rex axles, but have also heard they have problems. Also there's the TLT's....I really wanted to use a set of OG Bruiser axles, but reliability is an issue there as well. In the end, SCX's were an easy choice.

[OSRC]

TLT's would be really narrow. Lots of clearance issues there - it's pretty tight as-is with SCX axles. Next one of mine is getting Wheely kings, got a set sitting under the cage and they look perfect.

[gottorque]

I have to say, my 1.9 wraith is probably the coolest thing Ive ever built. Its not super fancy, but it performs and looks awesome!

[silvr_tung_devl]

I agree on the TLT's...was just throwing options out there...I'm curious to see the WK axles under it...can u post a pic or 2?

[haynesn12]

I think with tlt axles you would have to be really picky on wheel offsets and at least run wider hexes like the grey traxxas. But I already run those on mine with scx-10 axles to cut down on body rub.

Not much to see yet. Keep an eye out, I'll start a build eventually.

Yup, already run those on my SCX's too. Rear is ok, but it's really close with the front shocks.

Looks good, how did you narrow the Wraith axles, sleave and JB Weld or?
