Default Code Name : Barney

Hi all,

I've been lurking around for a while now. Had the wraith for over a year now and have always wanted to try my hand at chassis building. I'll let the name speak for the color scheme.

Any feedback is appreciated, I'd love to start making this a "hobby business" on the side.

As always this thread would be useless without pics, so here they are:

















Thanks! Hope you all enjoy.

I'll snag some pictures in the am. The skid is mounted to some 1/2" x 1/8" flat stock then welded to the chassis.

The wheels seemed to be a great steal for aluminum bead locks and were marketed to fit the wraith yet I was disappointed to find that the back spacing was not sufficient and caused the screws to rub on my steering linkage, I had to remidy with some gmade hub extensions. Also they do not come vented so you would have to drill your own, I just left a few of the lock ring screws out to vent, although most reccomend venting your tires anyways. But other than that they are nice units, again great price IIRC I paid about 45 for the set.

Sorry for the delay. Is this what you were looking for hooligan?
