|  c0bra's wraith
like the title says, ive got a wraith...... again. in fact this is number 4 however the first 3 were gone within a month! hopefully this one will last longer, to be sure its already rtr. this wraith i picked up used from the lhs for a great price, 2 weeks prior it was $20 more but had a $140 servo! unfortunately when i got it there was no servo, so i put a jr one in. unlike my previous wraiths, this one started as a kit and the previous owner put in a sidewinder esc, 20t motor (not sure what kind but it says epic on the end), full led kit, and they already painted the body and interior!  i have already taken it apart and fixed a few things. first off i put a zip tie between the battery wires coming out of the esc and the extension so the extension wouldnt come off. also i fixed the leds. the previous owner wired two 10mm leds in series with a rx plug, i cut the plug off and attached a 9v battery harness and a switch. the also had four 5mm leds wired to somekind of control board and to another rx plug. this one all i did was shorten the wires for the front leds.  any feedback from you guys/ girls would be great!

i picked up some alluminum from the hardware store this afternoon and tried to make my own roof panel. i think it turned out pretty good, i decided to cover it with a parma carbon fiber decal.  im also going to hinge the hood. and eventually make side panels. i may try a hood, but i may just pick up one from carter fab.

another update! in between classes today i was able to run to the hardware store again and pick up some 1/4 inch cable mounts to use as a hood hinge. they are a little small but after using part of the wraith cage, pliers and a lighter they are fine.  almost jeep wrangler angle:  set the wraith in its roof to see how far it opens (using rustler wheel and tire to help keep the hood off the ground)  also while i had it apart i cut another piece of alluminum to make a rear tray. with flex shot (rustler tire and passenger seat)  Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk |
