I hope the pics work!!!!

I got the trans in today so I packed it with grease n put it on. I used a 9 tooth pinion and a 60 tooth spur. Maybe I will get the rest of my stuff tomorrow and get it together over the weekend.

ok guys I got my integy stuff in today!!! i went ahead n changed the gears in my axles and got them mounted up. I also got my forward battery plate and got it in. Sry for no pics. I got excited and went to work on this thing n didnt even think about pics till now n realized I didnt take any. I WILL get some pics posted up tom!!! I hope my servo comes tom so I can can get it mounted on my trans. After that I can start putting it back together. Also I wont get to completely finish it this weekend because my wheels just now shipped today.

Ok guys I have been working on the wraith all night!! LOL!! I got to a stopping point until my wheels get here next week and my controller n receivers. I got the suspension all done and finished up. It seems to work extremely well esp for a first build on any rc!!! I had to move my steering servo back about 1/8 inch so the servo arm would clear the frame and give me more flex n travel. My friend Justin made a new servo plate out of aluminum on his small cnc machine in the shop. My ride height is about the same as a stock wraith with a level 3 lowering kit but I have so much more travel. I am using 128mm shocks with some truly homemade custom lowering bracketry going on. LOL!!!!! Here are a few pics of my homemade lowering brackets and of the flex it has.




I really dont know how its going to do but I am sooooo ready to find out!!! If it doesnt work I will try something else. Its a hobby right!!

Ok guys I got everything in and got it almost together!!! I am a newbie so figureing out a few things took alittle time. With the help of my friends we got the controller figured out. I farm so I know I have been kinda slow compared to other people. Its spring so we have been busy. Its supposed to rain fri so I am hoping to take this thing out on a good run n get some video for you guys!!!

Here is a little vid of my wraith. I know Im a newbie n this is my first build with anything custom so its not as detailed as some others. I got the rear axle tore apart and the rear pinion bearing went down. I got some new bearings but I did get the gears. I was going to take another vid of it running but the gears let go after just a few seconds of running. I should get my new gears on monday. Let me know What you guys think for a newbie and any suggestions on what to do next. I do have so vanquish steering and titanium links otw also.
