Default Wrexo Experiment 629 (Leroy)

Well ive been gathering parts for the past few months and figured it was time to start this build thread. Much inspiration from this site. This will be my first attempt at sticking withend the class 3 guidelines, since we dont have comps here in bama i never saw it useful needless to say i want to challenge myself. That being said if something looks off all input is greatly apperciated. Thanks for reading hope you all like

ARB Diff covers
Dlux F/R U4 axle truss
VP lockouts
openstock diffs same gear ratio
Axial Unis
Hot Racing shocks (I think lol will be replaced)
custom shock risers (a must have on a build like this)
2.2 Mayhem Monsters with R35 ripsaws with scale hardware (where remachined now pastidiped)
BOMBPROOF SS scx tranny with extended 6mm outputs
ax10 mips---ss exculsive shaft for rear (wb just a tad bit long)

Default Re: Wrexo Experiment 629 (Leroy)

Well did a little work last night I got everthing soldered up before dinner and fiddled around with it after and got to here


I wasnt satisfied since I had everthing need to get it up and running so I got it to a slider/roller status.....I wouldve mounted the wheels but ive misplaced the wheel nuts and I really want some scale hubs for them just dont nnow if theyll fit with the mayhems and of course the rear axle sits just a tad further back than a stock wraith so a exclusive mip shaft from rick at ss is needed lol....oh well this will give me time to place everything where I want it

Carbon takes scale away for some builds and really only used in pro or sporty rigs more than scale rigs......also hit up jerry (the DMG) in the vendor section of the forum he can hook u up with some skids forsure

Looking like an awesome build so far

Have you thought about a set of carbon panels to go with the axle trusses and other stuff?
