Re: project lower class wraith Color me impressed! Very original.... |
Re: project lower class wraith Shorten the nose enough to climb a 90degree wall. I think your framerails curve upwards too much and the height of the roof of the cab is a little tall. If you built the rig at full stuff, it would be a little better. All you need to watch for is the top of the rear axle contacting the frame and the steering servo up front. You want it to help you climb not hinder the climb. Otherwise looks good. Glad you got rid of those flimsy bs plastic framerails. |
Re: project lower class wraith Looks great! |

Are you going to do a spare wheel/tire mount on the back? |

project lower class wraith I hear that. However, you could narrow a plastic wheel and narrow a tire. That would be pretty light. That, and leave out the foam. It would look pretty sweet. ;-) Edit: you wouldn't even have to do a good enough job for it to be useful, since it would only be for looks. |
Re: project lower class wraith Looks sweet. I agree you should do a spare. |
Re: project lower class wraith finished up a few small things and got this beast shot in some bed liner......nothing bolted down yet just setting in place for the pics http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps37100166.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6256217e.jpg http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps6de71407.jpg |
