Cornelius, The Hand-me-down IFS Wraith

[Hittman]

So this rig has been passed around between few members here in my local club.. It was originally built by EGGBERT. He did an excellent job on this rig. Everything fits and flows nicely. I had built a full tube frame (Aloysius the Ultra4 rig) but with the release of the Yeti, I sold it. When the release date kept getting pushed back, I need to pick up a rig for a local g6 event.. So I picked this chassis and front end up from a buddy. Since then I have put quite a but of work into it. Was going to sell this rig once the yeti came out.. But I like this one too much now!!

I recently ordered around $450 in parts for the front end, replacing pretty much everything that was stock. I am in the process of building a customer rear end for the cage.. Something a little different than everyone else

I will update the thread as I receive parts and move along through the cage. We have a TTC event on the 16th, so I need to get busy

Lmk what you think so far

That IFS Mod. is 1 of the BEST one's that I built, I'm glad you like it pretty good parts list and tires also look BadAss all n' all Great Job Bro

[Tgates]

I have not. I just picked them up last night. Waiting on some front end parts, and my cage material to show up.

It was. He sold it so he could get the yeti

[Sp3cia1-K]

Love the look of that rear cage chop, what is the strength like with only the single tube at the rear?

[Hittman]

There is no strength in it. I will be getting in some material and will be building the back myself. So these pics are far from a finished rig, I just wanted to show how the tires looked mounted up. Thanks for the compliment thou! I think you will like the cage even more once I am done with it

[Hittman]

Got some parts in

[MountainStorm]

Looks like you've found a cure for Yeti Fever.

[Mudeater67]

Anymore updates on your IFS Build? , Little Bro

[Hittman]

Yes, but no time to post. Still lots to do before our TTC this weekend. Hopefully finish it up tomorrow.. Sometime before midnight

Will probably post all the updated pics next week

[lawhorn_derrick]

Have you got a PN# for your front spool. I ordered one to work with the traxxas cv shafts like you, but believe I got sent the wrong part as the cv's wont slide up onto the shaft far enough to put the set screws through. Thanks in advance

[Hittman]

Had to cut the spool tangs down. I believe 2mm off each side. After that they worked fine.

[Hittman]

This rig doesn't exist anymore.. Things changed, taken off, and needing to be sold (complete ifs front end). Switched to a solid axle setup front and rear. Still slammed, so I really like how it drives and handles.

I suck at keeping scale threads updated because I don't have that much interest in scale rigs.. But, I will try my best to get some updates up soon.

[WesTX]

Selling the IFS setup huh? *note to self - must resist the urge......*

Looking forward to the updates with solids, etc.
