| Kaos's Wraith
Got my Wraith Tuesday built most of it Friday and Saturday. Don't have any electronics in it yet but I will soon. Waiting on some parts from axial that were missing from the kit. Also didn't bother building the shocks because I didn't want to use them, going with proline slash front powerstrokes all around. Did the cage mod right after I was done. Plan to order a Dinky drop box, Aluminum panels and a few other things. Have 2.2 beads on the way that I got in a trade so for now its sporting my stock Jeep wheels. Here's the link to my build pics.

Ok I pretty much built it but dont know if I wanna continue with it. I really want to attempt building a crew cab. So how much fun can I have with the wraith? I was just going to throw my vxl in it and have fun, but I'm not sure anymore. Any advice wraith guys?

Still waiting on axial to send it hence why I was kinda turned off about the wraith. I did contact tower hobbies as well and they sent it out already just haven't received it yet. Yeah I could have just bought it myself but felt I shouldn't have had too.

I did receive other parts I was missing from axial but the diff tree they said was on back order. That's when I asked tower to step up. I've bought 7 kits from them since November as well as a ton of parts.

I might have to do the same thing not sure what the deal is I got in touch with axial and they rounded up all the parts I needed which is the diff cover, shock mounts and bearing caps but there weren't on a tree they were loose parts try rounded up but that was last tues and its holding my whole rig up if I had the spare cash I would just buy a pair of vanquish caps mounts and diff cover but don't have the extra now. just a little aggriviating it's taking so long to get them here |

Axial told me that it would be late may early June until they had it back in stock. I was really pissed when they told me that. Then I went looking for the part to buy it and found it on tower so I just called them and explained it to them and they said they would send it out. That was last week. I have a tracking number, however it does nothing when I attempt to track it.

guy I talked to said the same thing but he managed to get all of the parts together then while I was still on the phone. he said they wouldn't be on a tree they were all loose parts he rounded up in the shop and said he was going to ship them that day. so I don't know what's going on guess ill have to try and call them tomorrow and see what the deal is might have to go with vanquish stuff to get my rig done

Champ I received the missing diff tree from tower. My advice call them if you bought your kit from them.

Just ordered some proline front slash powerstroke for my wraith. What weight oil should I go with for a Trail Basher.

Decided to go with the Rc4wd Trail Finder fuel cell rx box since it will be in the rear in view. Hopefully there shipping is quick. Not sure if I should get the Dinky Black drop box. What do you guys think?
