Default Home made Wraith droop, lift, first Wraith.
[IMG]Photobucket[/IMG]Photobucket[IMG]Photobucket[/IMG][IMG]Photobucket[/IMG]Name: image.jpg Views: 1859 Size: 46.1 KBThis is my first post here at RcCrawler. I've been in the hobby 20+ years and the industry just keeps getting better and better!
I bought some 1/4" aluminum round stock and hardware. I used left over tie rod ends I had and started measuring and cutting.
I have the cms set up so when I lift or droop the Wraith I have to change out the servo and cross stabilizer so the front end stays aligned. When in droop mode it's pretty stable. I need to buy longer shock shafts for better articulation.
Here are a few pics if it. Any feedback or ideas for the garage builder would be cool. I now need to work on getting the pictures uploaded.

Pretty cool! You might want to look at upgrading your center drive shafts, the rear is looking a little like a twisted liquorice stick.

Yes I do. I am running a sidewinder sport in it with a 5000 mAh lipo. It likes to wheelie either in forward or reverse. So far it is bullet proof with no broken parts.

I saw them first online. Then I made them for about .25 cents worth of aluminum flat stock.

Name: image.jpg Views: 1421 Size: 42.1 KBI lengthened the rear and with the lower ride it should have great hill climbing ability.

One more. I am going to make a new rear shock mount. I'll bring the shocks towards the rear.

Not bad for about a dollars worth of aluminum.
