Wraith lost in the mix

[xgerstandtx]

This wraith, started as a kit.
Drove this thing summer and fall, enjoyed everything about it.
Setup with:
21t titan 550 stock gearing
7950th servo
STRC steering setup
Axial 6 LED light set
Mayhem monster wheels
Proline TSL's 2.2

This thing was just basic.

Easy hood mod. Used velcro to hold down the hood towards the front/grille.

Spare mount I made with spare alum.



wheels/tires



Home made inner fender wells. Really nothing special but I enjoyed cutting them and forming them.

before:



Just a start. Big changes coming soon.

Got a bit of Box art from RPP

Inner panels look good. Did you have to heat up the lexan to shape it?

I used nothing else than some flat edges on my square to bend the lexan. Very simple no heat needed.

Thanks guys

Built up the 93mm XD piggy back shocks,


These things are very nice. Assembled very easy, following the directions step by step and you will not miss anything.

Some have saidthat the stock spring rate is a bit much but i believe mine will be just fine after I get a few more of the things on to the wriath.

Looks like you're off to a great start. Keep it up and keep the pics coming.

Nicely done on those, would you happen to have a template? Or know where I could find one?

[xgerstandtx]

I cut my own templete, Find some card stock and get cutting it really is quite simple. I used a mailer that had some weight to the paper and it worked wonderful, took like an hour of trial/error.

Assembled the wheels and tires
Pitbull Rock Beast II komp compound

Serious size difference

Shock comparison to stock


New shocks, wheels and stance.
It lowered it about 8mm but raised it 5mm because of the tires.
I really dig it.

a few glamour shots...







Just pimpin my own stuff

[Crawl'n Cummins]

Lookin real good man. I really like the looks of those shocks.

[xgerstandtx]

I haven't mentioned what is gonna put this rig over the top yet, BGR. He told me yesterday he is shipping my KOH setup,bumpers and sliders.

Just be patient and this thing is gonna look and work amazing.

[xgerstandtx]

Received a box of goodies today.









A set of used VP TI links. In amazing shape.


will be putting together through out the next few days

[twentyfootdaredevil]

Do the bigger Pitbulls rub since you installed the shorter shocks?

Build looks great so far.

[xgerstandtx]

I have no rubbing with the 93mm shocks and Pitbull's.

cant wait to see those sliders and bumper mounted. Curious to see how those sliders mount to the body

[BadWagon]

Hey bud, your build is really coming along nicely. Great part selection and combinations.

Let me know what you think of the pit bulls vs the swampers.


Oh, speaking of the swampers... Whatcha gonna do with those? If they need a new home I might have a use for them. ;)

I can't wait to see how the rest of the build goes.

[Sethmetal]

Who makes those bumpers and sliders??

[crawler nut]

BGR fabrication. He's a vendor on here. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and love it.

I think we may be able to work something out. They are just going to collect dust around here. These Pitbulls are pretty bees Knees. The parts selection is just a combination of being patient and scowering the classifieds.
