That's 1 heck of a stinger right there. Rig looks good so far. Wish I had the time to go to a G6.

It's the Madskinz stinger, took a little dremmel work to get the winch sitting like I wanted, but overall I think it turned out good.

Looking good! After running both full custom and modified Wraith chassis trucks, I love the performance of the DMG stiffy kits. Hard to match!

Not sure on the name of the color, but I have been rolling with green for a loooooooooong time, so it was time for a change! While doing the family trip to Wally World it jumped out at me when I passed by the spray paint section.

Yeah, I'm shooting for 50/50 on this rig as far as scale and performance! I was just amazed how nice the DMG stiffy was, the fit and finish was better than I expected!

I hope so, I'm a complete rookie on this wraith platform and really axial stuff in general.

This thing is really turning out to be more of an ultra4 style than G6!

It's been a learning experience and a blast! I have really bashed this wraith alot and continue to love it. A few updates!

1. New TAG Ultra wheels still in testing! These are the perfect blend of performance and scale. They are a glue on g10 material three peice, but we have added a beautiful false beadlock to give them a very scale look! So, you get the lightweight benifits of a comp wheel and the beautiful looks of a scale wheel. The three peice design is mega strong for all your high speed bashing!






New driver and passenger


New axle guard!

Those wheels look right. Any plans for a 1.9 setup? What front pumpkin guard is that?

I'm working on some 1.9's this weekend, will not be carbon copies scaled down, new design entirely.

Have to say Thommy did a heck of a job putting this rig together, smile every time I see pics of it!

Yes, 1.9 versions are in the works!

The pumpkin guard was given to me, he said it was AMC racing on amazon. He also said they can be found on eBay.
