|  Dinky Jr.'s Wraith (The RAT) The RAT Rapid Armored Transport Figured I'd put up a "Built" thread for some of you to look at an scratch your heads at my new concoction I made from Dinky R/C. I made my body panels from lexan and rusted them before they were painted. I'll get better pics of the roof an rust I made up with some inside shots later. On to the pics.  Very little mods to the chassis. Just removed the bumper and flipped the grill to make a wing.  I've got a Dinky R/C Drop box in the "Front" for the driver to sit in with a Team 3six seat to keep him planted. Working servo steering wheel.  Working BTA steering as well with a Dinky R/C S type Dinky link to keep my servo nice an low on the axle for better clearance during articulation and low CG.  Better shot of the sevo/upper link mount.  And yes it's a 3 seater   I'll get much more pics later on. Specs.. Tekken 13.5 redline sensored MMP White dot RipSaws Dinky R/C S type Dinky link Dinky R/C Drop box Dinky R/C V2 Wedge hood (Upside down in the back) 3s 4000 in the back Working Dukes of hazzard horn  Custom Dinky Jr. Roof panel Custom panels Working steering servo Team 3six seat in front LMK what you guy's think  Removing belly button rigs one custom at a time. Hope to see more of this backwards Wraith madness from you guys. |

| Re: Dinky Jr.'s Wraith (The RAT)
until i saw the article harley did i didn't realize it was backwards. i saw you come flying across the finish line and thought you were just reversing it looks sweet though, definitely haven't seen anything quite like it!

I'm surprised it didn't have a Cookie Monster theme! As always, a very unique perspective. |

Way to do something different. The whole backwards thing though, it confuses the hell out of me.  |

Do you lose points for a "rear steer?" Rear steering is what makes forklifts able to navigate tight places very well. |

I've been thinking of camber steer. Side hilling an tight turns at speed |

Hahaha! Very cool. The rear looks a little off to me. Needs something more than just the wing. Regardless, I like it. |
