Default Flip up hood.

I did a flip up hood conversion on my wraith last week and I really like the convinience. I also moved the battery to the front and went to 4S. Wow how fun this is getting.

Who makes the tray in the front? or did you make that? It looks very cool.

Funny thing is...I was just on the vendor's section and saw this electronics tray just before reading this thread. Timing is everything.

No sorry, I made them up like that from the original Wraith kit I bought.

The bar clamps for the hood are actualy off the universal Axial Light bar kit that I did not use. They fit around the bar just perfect IMHO.

Zippoman: Yes I designed that tray as well as what I call "Da Box 50%" that is a bit smaller. That way if you like your ESC in the stock location, this box simply drops in front of that esc. It's has about 5 times the space of the original Wraith receiver box.
