My Poison Spider Wraith

[cheyennek5]

just getting back in the crawler scene and picked this up on the cheap with a few upgrades( Savox steering servo, aluminum servo horn, Integy 35T motor, more upgrades to come im sure lol)






upgraded the steering links to the Vanquish setup(kinda pricey but very well made)


figured while i was making it functional i might as well make it a little prettier too lol

lots of plans, the more i look around the more stuff i find that i just have to have LOL

im following the suggested upgrades in the pinned post on here, not gonna try to do it all at once but as parts break they will be replaced with better stuff

got tired of trimming the bronco body last night and needed a break, so i painted the PS body that came with my Wraith when i got it, added some stickers and im actually kinda digging the look LOL

[cheyennek5]

finally got the new body trimmed and painted this weekend, i like how it looks, now to start with some upgrades

This is looking really good, great job on the painting btw! Have you thought about replacing the motor and links yet? Just curious. Keep up the good work, I'll defiantly be watching this build!

looked at the Vanquish links kit this weekend, $80 is quite a bit to throw out at once for me lol, was thinking of looking into making my own links but not quite sure on how to do it

the motor is a 35T Integy brushed motor, havent had a chance to do any real crawling as of yet, going to wait and see how it performs before i swap it out

Yeah VP is pricey however you'll be happy you got them or you could make your own links. I've always thought about getting a integy motor just to see how it would compare to others that I mainly use. I'll probably get a integy for my scx10 jeep cause I beat the hell out of it and its one of my budget rigs
Well if you ever decided to change the motor then there are many options like brood, Holmes hobby, tekin and so on. Anyways good luck

I used traxxas revo links on my Time Bandit wraith..cheap and work great...i bent the upper ones and they also worked perfect... less than 25 bucks for all 8 if i recall correctly

scored all this at my local Hobbytown USA, it was all unopened in a ziploc baggie for $25, good deal or no?

What paint did you use for the Chassis?
