Default Chevy Wraith
I had a old Pro-line 1980 Chevy Blazer body, so why not...

Thanx, I tested it out on the rocks and it rubs on the grill were the headlights are, limiting the up travel, so need to cut the headlights out to make this body work right.

Right on, only thing about using a full body like this is you have to remove the screws every time you put ur battery in. I used only 4 screws for that reason, the 2 bottom side panel screws, as you can see in the pic.

Those piggyback reservoirs are so cool! Do they work?

They are 120 mm HR air shocks, the reservoirs do help the air flow better. I have the stock shocks on my other wraith with super soft springs and 3 hole pistons and they seem to flex as good as the 120 mm.

This is my version of the "Blazer Wraith."

No body clips used or needed. Body is secured with side panel screws (3 on each side).

Nice work, do the tires rub on the front fenders? I had a problem with rubbing where the headlights are.
Looks awesome man

Thanks Nix, you inspired me to mount the Blazer body. The front tires do not rub. The wheels have a negative offset which creates a slightly wider front stance/track. It has been a work in progress - I added the faux carbon fiber roof & door panel today. Don't know if I like it or not.

Right on, I do like the two tone with the yellow and carbon fiber.

Did more chopping & cutting. Also added expanded metal to cage top & sides.

While running the Blazer Wraith on 3s the other day I rolled it pretty hard (airborne 4 complete revolutions) - more speed than I could handle. Fortunately the Wraith sustained cosmetic damage only. The cage expanded metal held up well.
