Default Re: wraith with chopped narrowed front hood and frame

Most photos are not good, buy a better camera

I have very bad scrubbing problems when steering and twist are together.
Besides I would like to be narrower, under 29 cm, so the scrubbing will become even worse because the tires will be closer to the chassis.

At the moment I removed the front bumper (the tires push against it at full steering when in twist) and I'm thinking to limit the shock compression, but I'm afraid it will not be enough.

That said don't know if I will follow your example. From what I can see you bent the front cross member (probably after heating it ), so it is shorter and it forces the long longitudinal external tubes to flex. My major concern is that it can be more fragile than stock because the plastic elements are under stretch.

Anyway I like the basic idea

Bye
Filippo

My frame is actually a lot more solid now. It is working very well for me.



By the way a g made has nothing on my wraith. I out crawled it all day. Really thought the g made would be better
