| metal vs lexan?
found a great new spot to crawl in the wash. rolled it and managed to crack all they way through the fancy painted plastic door/fender that came with my rig. More alu bakin material or buy a body? Don't like the look of those thicker alu bodys people are selling either, it looks to strong to be scale and I don't mind a little damage to add to the steaks and "scale" effect. Heres some pictures of the little buggy |

I have Carter Fab panels on 2 of my Wraiths and love them! I had a very hard roll over with the one Wraith and it landed very hard, upside down on a sharp rock. Without the Carter roof panel I know I probably would have broken the cage. So two thumbs up for Carter Fab!! Oh and just to mention, your Wraith doesn't look scale anything so why not get decent metal panels?? |

I use dollar tree cookie sheets. It's thin and shows body damage. I use a band saw to cut and use the stock plastic to form it. I like better than plastic and notice no difference other than it sounds like a tonka truck when it rolls. |
