Shoei1 Ultra4 Wraith

[tapped-out]

I think the 26th is the next U4RC race.

[Shoei1]

Little update to the rig.

[tapped-out]

Looks good, You need to mount a racing wing.

[Sevastra]

Would probably crawl better with a rear drive shaft.

That definitely looks different like that. Could get yourself one of the little yellow minion figures with a wrench and mount it to the rear axle, make it look like he's working on it while you crawl.

[Shoei1]

Needed to add some character to the rig.

Cool rear shock setup and swaybar.

[Shoei1]

Some more updates. Now have added the front leading arms and also updated the rear shock tower/brace to have the spare tire sit a little lower. With the first test run with it I did not have the sway bar installed and it will for sure need a sway bar. It wasn't horrible but really could use one when on power. Next will be to adapt a front sway bar and a new body.

Looks like it's going to be fast when it's all done.

Now let's see some pictures with the body on

Working on it! Now that you gave me a new idea for the body I just need to get to cutting haha!

[Thechewmaster]

I'm loving the mods you've done with the cage, front and rear. Savin those last few pics for future reference for me, thanks.

Rig looks dope, should be nice and fast

[nahuebsch82]

I kind of like the lay down servo like that, anymore Info what you did to accomplish it? How well does it work? Would be definitely nice to get some more up travel

[Pizzaguy87]

What interior did you install? Looks good.

Thanks man! With the little I have driven it was pretty good. Just a few more tweaks and it will be set.

My buddy Jake(Del Monte) is actually the designer of the servo mount. It requires shaving the axle a little. Really works great though.

I believe it's from the HPI 10th scale trophy truck. Unfortunaly I think they discontinued it.

I'm digging this truck! I've got some similar ideas in mind for my build. Just need to hit your buddy up for some of his secret sauce

Thanks man!


Here is a little preview of what is to come. The sway bar is just mounted with zip ties to check clearance for the body.

Very innovative rig! This thing is beyond bada**! I like your servo mounting. My only concern with it though would be the servo wires getting damaged on the terrain because they are straight down. Unless you have a slim servo sitting behind the axle. I can't tell from the pics

The servo sits high enough so that the wires exit behind the axle tube. They can be tied up along the upper link and out of the way from there

[kookie31]

Ok cool. Like I said, that was my only concern other than that your rig is amazing. Sub'd

[DTB1]

Subscribed to this! Looks awesome, interested to see how your front suspension works out.

[Shoei1]

I have noticed a weak point where the set screws are bending where they sandwich my shock braces. So here is my solution to the problem I hope. The cross member will now be solid 1/4" 7075 rod with a abs fdm 3d printed support.
