Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith I asked mcrawlinslow to build me a 2.2 starter chassis and he sent this little jewel. I quickly got to work on setting it up http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/de7e4u7a.jpg I ordered the Vanquish TI links and the BlueMonkey RC rear dual lowers. That put the rig at a 14.5" wb. I knew I needed to shorten it up but here are some pics to get going. Full bump at 14.5 http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/9u2y2u2e.jpg Full bump at 14.5" http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/ugupe9yz.jpg Semi ride height at 14.5" http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/y6a8yqev.jpg |
Choppin it up. Took out some of the rear lowers. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/a8umejed.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/emuvyjap.jpg Dinky RC fuel cell mounting. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/y8ahuha2.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/upany5ah.jpg Full bumped clearance checking. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/a3emynuh.jpg Washed out picture http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/nesupepe.jpg |
This looks very interesting. Can't wait to see how you finish it. Looks good so far. |
Re: Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith Looking GOOD so far "thumbsup" |
Re: Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith Very nice indeed!! I will be watching to see how this turns out. After watching KOH I know I have the bug 8) |

New fuel cell mount and spare tire mount http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/8ara2u2u.jpg Full bump with spare tire and sway bar clearances checked. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/ybe2ynu4.jpg |

This build is focusing on that aspect, crawling and go-fast mixed together. Suspension adjustably and geometry are essential. Hence all the upper link/shock mounts I had Brandon weld in. I added somemore to the rear chassis upper link mounts too to fit the ti links and shortened wb. Sitting at it's final 13.5" wb And I am still leaching myself MIG welding so done stare one spot too long. Black chassis paint will cover up my flaws nicely. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/eqebu8e8.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/hurubevy.jpg |
Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith Since I run the Dinky RC wraith servo/link mount and the servo arm pointing up it caused issues at full Bump. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/uquhaty3.jpg Cut the section out and added a bent piece of steel. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/ara9yme5.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/6udaryga.jpg Then a crossbar for support and front sway bar hastily burned in. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/qabu6u9y.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/a5edy6u5.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/3yzusuha.jpg |
Ok. Y'all are caught up to my progress. More tomorrow Carter Fab and Machine 90 deg weld tabs. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/tymuzyju.jpg Down http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/etu6aqur.jpg Up http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/ugyza2a8.jpg Own weight. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/09/ypumeheh.jpg |

Re: Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith Looks great Shane. Not only does paint cover up imperfections, so does dirt! |

Black paint is my friend. I tend to rush and skip some details sometimes. |
Dinky RC fuel cell painted and some details added. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/10/u9ehehut.jpg |
Re: Szczerba's 2014 2.2 #744 Wraith Awesome! But it doesn't look like a wraith anymore. "thumbsup" |

Thanks. I put all my wraith axle'd rigs in the wraith section. I've got a couple monster truck builds in the wraith section. Lol Take that back my old wraith axle'd Scramblin' KOH rig is in the 2.2 section. |
