My first kit wraith build

[Spence700]

This is my first build from ground up. I've always bought rtr's and modified them from there, but this was I kit. I like that I was able to do what I wanted as I built it up. The hardest part was coming up with ideas after I had things put together. But I enjoyed it. I'm still working on a custom interior. But here's what I have so far.
I used screw downs for the hood from a factory team sc10 battery strap and hinged the back of the hood.
I made an electronics tray for the back that replaced where the stock battery location was. Then made a cover and wrapped it with a diamond plate decal.
I have a viper vtx10 esc with a tekin redline 17.5 t motor and a savox servo.
I made my own steering links when i found out how much the stock ones bend under stress.
I made a custom battery tray that fits a smaller lipo up front with easy access
I'm also running factory team sc10 shocks with a lowering kit in the front only.
I thought it would be fun to try to build a trailer for it. So I got some aluminum and bent it up and started to make a boat trailer. I don't have a boat yet so there's no bunks but that will be my next purchase.
I thought it would work nicer with some what of a suspension, so I made the axles articulate
I'm not set on using the hitch part yet but haven't come up with a better idea yet.
The next thing to finish up is the interior but works been busy lately so trying to find a few minutes here and there to tinker with it.

For the hitch, use a ball stud for the rod end on the trailer to snap into.

Great idea right here!

That's what I tried the first time, but anytime I went into a grassy area it would unsnap it self. BUT I was using a used rod end off my sc10. I'll have to try a new rod end as maybe the one I tried was worn out just a bit too much.
