ifs wraith build question

[c0bra]

before you ask i have searched!

i am looking to start collecting parts to convert my wraith to ifs using exo parts. curently im just trying to get a parts list with numbers together so i know what i need. which brings up my first question.

what exo parts do i need? from what ive seen i need the entire front end of the exo and a chassis.

my next question is what is the best/easiest way to secure the exo chassis to a wraith skid?

Here is a list cross referenced from the RTR and Kit instruction manuals. Some part numbers may be listed twice accidentally or on purpose. You'll have to check how many comes in a package or on a parts tree to determine the exact number you will need to purchase. I did not look that up and account for exact quantities. This list will only get you the front assembly and chassis plate. There are options you can substitute but that will be options for you to choose on your own.

Front assembly and diff parts:
ax30381
axa1162
axa1230 bearing 10x15x4 (x4)
ax80002
ax30390
axa1393
ax30170
ax30385
ax30392
ax30393
ax30408
ax30163
axa1221 Bearing 5x11x4 (x2)

ax30383
ax80093
ax80097
ax30418
ax30366
ax80106
ax30382
ax80099
axa181
axa1218 bearing 5x10x4 (x2)
ax80111
ax30174
ax80100 or (ax30811, ax30812 and ax80100)

ax30409
ax80119 or (axa1641 and ax80005)
ax80101
axa1635
ax80005
your choice of servo horn

chassis and bumper:
ax30798
ax80093
ax30799

shocks:
ax30147
ax80035
ax80036
axa1184
axa1202
ax30113
ax80034
axa1069
ax80033
axa1041
ax30112
ax30229 stock spring - you choose

You will need to choose a wheel that will work for your build with adjustable hubs and 12mm mounting hex hub. The EXO front end is wider than the wraith rear so you will have to offset the rear to get the same wheel track.

**this list does not include the screws or nuts except the shock nut.**

I listed the differences between the RTR and Kit when you see "*part number or (*more part numbers)"

This is just an initial wag as a preoccupied dad - I'm sure you will find mistakes

There are plenty threads to cover ur se one ? Most use 4 bolts all corners of the wraith skid they will mount threw the exo chassis and the wraith skid then the 4 screws that will hold the wraith trans you will have to drill holes for that as well....ur 1st ? Is a matter of google and pen and paper...the whole exo front in is used but u can piece together aftermarket parts for a few bucks more which I suggest read all the threads u can jia has a good write up with aftermarket parts list and I'm trying to do a good build thread lol

[redsawacs]

I secured the chassis to the Wraith skid using 3 4mm button head screws from the inside out and screwed them into the exo chassis plate after drilling and tapping holes...truely a critical and exact procedure to keep the front end square to the frame.

i used a blue monkey ifs kit to bolt up the exo front.

[Joshs4x4toyz]

This thread was a tad older than the BM kit. The good ole days of ingenuity


Blue monkey kit is sick though. Don't have one yet as I built my ifs wraiths early last year and over engineered them

[Joe_Sully]

Rarther over than under bmrc is a great kit
