| 4ws spawn build
This isn't mine, I'm building this for a friend. He started with a poison spider wraith and did vp links, chubs, knuckles and lockouts. Installed uni's and some xl swampers. Also it was out fitted with a rc4wd ax2 transmission. From there he really wanted to do a 4ws setup. He picked up a used wraith (kinda hacked) that had vp housings and all the goodies to go in them. Hd hearing and some hr spools also had a rc4wd trans as well. (Sorry no pics of the rig) But ever since the spawn came out he was in love with the body. So he went out and picked up a chassis/body combo and some scaler fab items. Parts List: Electronics HH BRXL WP HH Crawlmaster motor 2x HH servo Castle 20amp BECs Solar servo (shift servo) Futaba 4px Drivetrain Rc4wd AX2 MIP drive shafts VP OCP housing front/rear Beeftubes front/rear Vp chubs and knuckles front/rear Axial Universals front/rear HD gears front/rear HH spools front/rear Other Vp Titanium links Vp Steering links front/rear Vp truss front Dinky link rear Gmade shocks VP methods PL TSL XLs CI 6.0 DDs Let's start with the scaler fab stuff. Everything fit great and looks amazing except i got 2 left sides on the sliders... (Which reminds me I need to contact them about switching that out) Here it sits...waiting to tear the axles down. Bearings and a bunch of other parts on the way. The previous owner packed the snot out of the axles. I went through and cleaned them out well along with the spools, gears, and the other aluminum goodies. Also got the new shocks built today. Think these should be a good fit on this rig. They are gmade... |

| Re: 4ws spawn build Thanks! Had a lot of influence with this build. The VP was all him haha. But items like wheel wideners and beef tubes I showed him and let him decide. Goal was to try to get a lot of unsprung weight. He's been eyeing DLux knuckles as well. Gonna stretch the rear axle out a hair as well so she will climb better. With the 4ws shouldn't be a problem being a little longer |

Sorry haven't updated this in a while. Between work and waiting for parts not much got done. Beeftubes are installed, sorry no pics. But I had to expand the "notched" portions to get everything to fit correctly. Also got the 2 speed trans rebuilt. The previous owner must of used a tube of lock tight on this thing!! And I'm glad I went through it cause the stuff in there was nasty! Here it is all set waiting for the motor (should be tomorrow) it now has cowrc udder butter and all stainless hardware. More to come soon.... |

Comm'n man, put washers under the shift servo mounting bolts before you buddy cracks the case while doing insane 4ws doughnuts and powershifting into second mid rotation. Or, maybe I'm just paronoid. Tell me there will be 4ws doughnut vids! How are you liking your super spiffy work mat? |

I think I'm swapping that servo out...no need for 300oz for a shift servo. Knowing Chad...yes this thing will be beat lol. Work mat is amazing!!! Only thing is I'm not sure if I like the foam walls or not. It's nice to contain the ss screws and such but cleaning it is a pain. If I did it over again I would probably do a flat may and have a separate parts tray they carry. I also just picked up the 1.5, 2, 2.5mm drivers from Lockedup rc. I would suggest them to anyone. Electronics, wheel wideners for the methods, and the foams should all be here tomorrow. Won't be wrenching again until Tuesday. Helping the parents Sheetrock tomorrow. Yay!! Haha | |

Got some work done today on the wraith. I'll let the pics do the talking. Still need to go through and fine tune items like caster angle and steering. |
