Default wraith with chopped narrowed front hood and frame

I modified my wraith to a narrow front. No more front tires rubbing the chassis now. Haven't seen any others yet. Anyone done it yet? Will have my wife try to upload pics later.

2.2 or 1.9?

AR60 or SCX-10?

I have never had tires hit o n my AR60 rig bit they do on my SCX-10 rig.

And both cages are stock.

Well I can't figure out how to post pics. It says I can not post attachments, maybe cause I am new to the forum? It came out really sweet and have no tire rub now. It has lots of mods all for crawling and works great.

I went through the same problem. If you want to post pictures it's way easier if you buy a star that's what I did and it saves you a lot of headaches. I think a green star is like 20 bucks and you can see the classified section as well if you get one , and if you need to find a part or even sell something you'll be set

Open a Photobucket account, add your pics, copy the picture url from Photobucket, paste it here. Easy as pie.

I didn't chop the hood, but I did the same mod to the bumper.

They come with a set of blue springs also. I think eBay has them.
