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  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  Full bump at 14.5"  Semi ride height at 14.5"  |

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.

Since I run the Dinky RC wraith servo/link mount and the servo arm pointing up it caused issues at full Bump.  Cut the section out and added a bent piece of steel.   Then a crossbar for support and front sway bar hastily burned in.    |

Looks great Shane. Not only does paint cover up imperfections, so does dirt! |

Awesome! But it doesn't look like a wraith anymore. |
