Looks nice! Is that the stock Wraith cage? What type of paint did you use to paint the cage? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

PS: Three coats of paint seem to be holding up really well, though I do need to do some touch-up work where I scratched the paint off trying to install the aluminum panels. | |

Update: my only gripe with the curries are the skid for the pumpkin that comes with the axles, as it literally came off after the first impact it had with a rock. Original skid: Custom Skid: |

I see a lot of people have problems with the delrin skid plate...I know it's not a huge issue but you would think after paying as much as you do for a VP Currie axle you wouldn't have to customize your own skid plate. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them though |

| Re: Wraith Build (from scratch) It's actually a generic light bar from axial and it'll work on the exo, wraith, honcho and dingo. http://www.axialracing.com/products/ax30709 |
