| Fink's Wraith
Wraith just arrived yesterday and my other parts should be in early next week. I will be updating this thread as often as possible to chronicle the build. My goal for the Wraith is for it to be a very capable crawler, but also able to bash/rock race when I feel like it. I typically take it very easy on my trucks but I obviously do have the need for speed occasionally. I normally run on wooded trails with a lot of water and mud so I wanted to stick with a simple brushed setup and of course everything will be water-resistant. I like the simplicity of brushed and quite honestly, I'm confident enough in my knowledge of brushless to go with it yet. I also love Holmes Hobbies' motors and wanted to stick with them as I have had great luck with the TorqueMaster Pro in my SCX10. Onto the good stuff... INITIAL MODS -2.2 R35 Ripsaws -2.2 Axial VWS Beadlock Wheels -BGR Fabrications' BGR Trailbar w/D-Ring & Winch Mount -BGR Fabrications' Aluminum Rear Shock Tower -HH BR-XL (waterproof) -HH TrailMaster Pro (27t) -VP Axle Housings (silver) -Hot Racing SHD Lockers -Axial Universals -VP Stage I Kit (orange) -VP Bearing Caps (silver) -VP Axle Truss (silver) -VP Lower Shock/Link Mounts (silver) -VP CMS & Panhard Kit -Axial Heavy Duty Bevel Gears -Solar D772 Servo -Axial Aluminum Servo Horn -VP Titanium Links FUTURE MODS -VP Aluminum Transmission Case -32P Gears -FlySky Radio Once I get the parts in and the truck unboxed, I'll start posting some pics!

Worked from home today and finally had the chance to at least get the Wraith unboxed. Yes, it's a standard Wraith, but I'm excited... Fink |

That just means I have three deliveries on Monday and two on Tuesday. Then it's just picking a battery and maybe a spare servo from HobbyPartz. Thanks for the post! Fink | |

I haven't run Holmes' TrailMaster in the Wraith yet, but yes, more torque and control. Just an entirely different class than the stock 20t. Once I get it installed in the Wraith and give it a test, I'll be sure to let everybody know how it does. Fink | |

Today was a big day for deliveries. Can't wait to see what my girlfriend says when I carry all this into our condo... Axle housings and a few other little things should be here tomorrow and tires and wheels on Wednesday or Thursday. Will be ordering my batteries as soon as they are back in stock and I should be set!

Well after looking at picture after picture and speaking with Bill, owner of BGR Fabrications & Welding, I pulled the trigger on his BGR Trailbar w/D-Ring & Winch Mounts and his NEW Aluminum Rear Shock Tower. Thanks again, Bill! Fink |
