Talking K9 FaBs 2013 Ultra4 car. Now with more U4

I usually do a build thread but here's my BUILT thread

I took 1" out of the rear and .5" out of the front to shorten it up...Then stood up the B pillars and chopped the roof to match the B pillars... Added some windsheild supports and other mods here and there...

Parts list:
Axial Wraith Kit (K9 treatment of course)
Tekin Pro4 3300
MMP
CC BEC
HiTec 7950TH
Axial servo Horn (these things are HD)
DC Rubi Body (K9 treatment chopped up)
Proline Powerstroke slash rear shocks
Proline Powerstroke slash front springs with internal springs as well
Pit bull tires
Gear Head RC EZ Locks
VP Knuckles
VP trusses
VP Diff covers
HR C hubs
CHAOTIC CRAWLERS 4 bend steering
Axial under drive HD rear R&P
MIP Shafts
HR hardened steal tranny gears
32p 60t spur
32p 13t Novak pinion

Still to come:
VP 5" Rigid light bar
VP Lockouts
Axial HD front R&P
Winch
Driver
Etc.







Still have to finish the fuel cell but you get the gist of it...

I dig the subtle changes to the cage.

Nice fuel cell. Looks a bit familiar.

Dude that is one sweet looking Wraith...
How did you get it so low?
I have swaped my shock mounts over and its also not close to yours, did you chop the cage lower, cause I see a different side pillar in the cage...?
Great build

Answered the cage chop question in the first post. Also said he's running Slash Powerstroke rears with (shorter) front springs.

Thanks JIA for fielding this one...

I did not lower the roof in anyway simply took some out to match the B pillars so there wasnt so much hangover

Where are y'all getting the scale fuel cells? Are they hollow so that you can store things in them?
