Out with the old in with the new. Axial universals and a Super Shafty super spool.



You will have to grind the 2 pins on the gear down to mount the super spool.




R2j Kustoms Stainless upper and lower links.


Scaler fab front bumper. Also cut 2 of the lights out of the head light set and went with the square buckets.

I've been looking at that bumper, too. I wish it fit a little closer to the bottom of the grille. Looks good, Jwill.

Yeah I actually made the mounting tabs that are one it. It comes with spacers and sits about a 1/4 inch further out but I cut the upper rods before I welded the tabs on. Moving the bumper closer and I and added a notch to make sure my servo horn didn't rub. I plan to fab up a rear bumper and sliders then maybe have a look at the front bumper again.

Well guys, I think I'm gonna ditch the wraith look and go to an scx10 chassis. I'm gonna try and make a unimogish body. In order to look right with the wraith axles here are the measurements I have so far. I will probably make changes once I cut out my templates and can mock it up. These measurements are 1/8 scale. My styrene and scx10 chassis should be in at the end of this week.

Cab Height- 19cm
Cab Width- 21cm
Cab Length- 25cm

More to follow especially changes as these things go.

Would you consider selling the bumper if you don't reuse it? ...and links?

Here's my template open to opinions and suggestions the wheel well radius is off a 2.2 tire.


It has begun! I got the drive train mocked up and parts ordered for my Wraith turned super awesome wroncho unimog build.


Finalized template for the cab. I will end up squaring out the wheel well hopefully it turns out nice I've started cutting the styrene which arrived today the cab will be 21cm wide.



Here is the progress made so far this is my first project with styrene so it's going slow. I may enlarge the wheel wells towards the front to gain a bit more clearance so far so good. I'm still waiting on parts to finalize my linkages also. I have new hub hexes on order which will narrow my wheel base by 1/4".




Made a little progress today.
