Trail Ready Wraith Build - 2dr Jeep body
 
Staring at my wraith, bored of it, it drives over everything in its path with no challenge. It's almost too easy to go crawling at the stouffville resevoir, my local proving ground. Not to mention I am less then enthused about the stock wraith's looks, as a scale addict, it just doesn't fit in my lineup anywhere.

So time to start cutting, hacking, painting and accessorizing. I will get there, with a new baby in the house it will take some time

The wraith as it was

Then I had an old proline jeep body hanging around, the colour was not quite what I wanted for another build. So out came the scissors.

I was starting to like where it was going, but still not entirely happy. So here's where I went from there
Out came the flat black, and I threw on my new Growlers for looks

Threw on a rack

Scale bits, canoe and some camp fuel tanks

And as it sits now in the Traxion R/C Studio

I am going to shorten the wheelbase a bit, and I am still not sold on 1.9's on there, although they are almost the same size as the 2.2 ripsaws. Let me know what you guys think!

I love the look of that body and the Growlers, but I would agree with you on the wheelbase. Shorter would make it look even better.
