| First build.... Axial Wraith
Got my Wraith today and started my journey! First action was to move the battery under the hood. Took about hour and a half or so. Next is hing the hood. |

RTR, not sure what I'm doing?? LOL. I love the look of the Wraith, probably liked the idea that I can do a little of everything with it. Me and my son race dirt late modal RC's (1/8 nitro, 1/18 losi and 1/10 losi touring late)at a local track The Barn Raceway Home Page. I wanted something I can play right here at home. So, I'm a super newbie! Looking forward to building and customizing my wraith. Love the forum and the pictures that inspire me to build a realistic looking RC

You'll get bit by the addiction sooner or later. Your picture isn't working. Any chance you'd be up for a GTG in Columbus @ Hoover? There's a decent group that meets and runs from time to time. |

| Re: First build.... Axial Wraith It's a common mod for these, it's going to be one of the first ones I do when my chassis arrives. COOLxxBREEZE, if you're on Facebook, we've got a group page for us Ohio guys. If you're interested we can get you added on there as well. Have you figured out a direction of where you're wanting to have this rig end up as? Full on rock racer/trail basher (speed) or crawler (slow)? |

Looking at lowering it, not sure if level3 will let me keep my stock shocks?? I like crawling....but also like speed and hill climbing. Time will tell! Got some aluminum paint and plan on painting some chassis parts today. That will have to work till I can put real aluminum parts on. Also plan to chop the back cage down and give it a more jeep/buggy look | |
