Tore this rig apart, time to build it up and beef it up!

Flipped shock mounts to drop it down a bit, quick and easy lowering mod.

Goin with the MMP and tekin pro4 3300kv! Going to try 14/56 on the gearing, and also needed some hot racing trans gears before I stripped out stock gears.

Smooth out the tall screw ridges on the traxxas #3957 and it screws up to the axial slipper.

Going to try these gmade piggyback 103mm shocks.
There seems like a lot of parts but there a simple build, come with 2/3/4 hole shock pistons and oil. Everything to build them. They seem to compress smooth, using the 3 hole is pistons on my build.

Electronics getting mounted up, waiting on some cfm inner front fenders to stick in there. Got the MMP castle bec and 4pl receiver all up front.

Tekin pro4 3300kv mounted up and wires run.

CRAIGB · 10-23-2013, 08:24 AM

Ultimate carter fab fenders installed, painted black.

Beefing up the axles some too, Beef tubes and hr lockers. Guna throw some axial cvds in too.

Pretty powerful is an understatement. It's a BEAST! Also, the blue horn the 7950 comes with will probably dig into your bumper and limit steering, mine did. Pick up a Robitronic servo horn.

CRAIGB · 10-25-2013, 07:03 PM

Time to move onto body and scale accessories.

CRAIGB · 10-27-2013, 09:02 PM

Didnt like the grey seats so dyed the wraith seats with some black RIT dye.

CRAIGB · 10-28-2013, 10:27 PM

Got a new body, painted bright red and outlaw black. Added crawlspace tray and cover too.

CRAIGB · 11-04-2013, 09:30 PM

Did some work on the wraith, cut my cover to view the pro line fuel cell and the nos bottle.

RiderZ · 11-06-2013, 02:34 PM
