Looks fantastic. Love the wheels. "thumbsup"

Re: G6 wraith build

Nice rebuild of a part out!

Re: G6 wraith build

That looks great!! I love the DC Jeep body!!

Re: G6 wraith build

I just painted my DC jeep body the same colors last night because I hadn't seen another one painted those colors, lol. I did paint the center of the hood black though.

Re: G6 wraith build

You've been nice enough to let me see your work area. I have to say you have a Wraith addiction. Damn you have a bunch of those things. :lmao:

Re: G6 wraith build

I have a disease and they don't know what to call it..:mrgreen:

I only have 4...
:flipoff:

Re: G6 wraith build

"I only have 4"

Spoken like a true addict.

Re: G6 wraith build

Love the look and the scale bits. Giving me ideas for my build. :-)

Re: G6 wraith build

i love the control arms on the upside of the rig, now that is thinking outside the box

Re: G6 wraith build

still felt a lil bare...
so i added some fuel pickup lines from the fuel tank..

and a rear cross bar between the shock towers..

Re: G6 wraith build

What awesome attention to detail. Love this. Even the":flipoff:" sticker is slick.

Re: G6 wraith build

Thanks for the compliments guys...nothing special.

ordered a exo radiator and exo rear lightbar..

ordered some crawldad led bars..2in and 5in versions..run off 3s..:twisted:

Re: G6 wraith build

I love the details you've added. It really adds a lot to the rig. "thumbsup"

Re: G6 wraith build

went out with rootar and test drove the G6 wraith at a new hillclimbing spot he found..

it could stand to be a few teeth higher on the pinion gear...
other than that im happy with it.

Re: G6 wraith build

a new spot ross found over by his house..off dixon rd.

Re: G6 wraith build

I knew I knew it..... First place I got my XR650L stuck. Had less than 10 miles on the odometer. He's out near my family. When that shit gets wet it is the Devils mud!

Re: G6 wraith build

took the girly and the bullyboy to the park for a quick run around the trail..took the G6 wraith for a shakedown run too.

Re: G6 wraith build

Nice work Josh, I can't wait to destroy the new stomping grounds Sunday.:mrgreen:

Re: G6 wraith build

The lights look really good. I like this Wraith.

Seeing you post on the shocks reminded me; I took your advice with the orange o-rings for the shocks. The set I got from you on the SCX chassis, I tore them down, cleaned everything, lubed everthing and took some scotch bright to the shafts. They are like new shocks.

had to trim edges to go around rear support arms..
then lined up on rear bar of rollcage..found good contact points
drilled 3 small holes 1 left 1 center 1 right..
drilled thru light housing into rollbar in each hole.
test fit..trim as needed
