Default Just another wraith

Picked up the fairly stock wraith and figured i'd show it off, only thing really done to it is the rear cage mod, battery and esc up front with lift up hood, wheel wideners, savage shocks in the rear, more to come

Got bored with the blue color rather fast so i painted it a nice gloss red

And made a "thin blue line" license plate because i support LEOs

How the savage shocks are mounted up

Got my HotRacing cvds and aluminum diff covers used off a member on here so got to installing them

Decided to go with flat head screws instead of allen keys because the original ones were rounded beyond belief and these were alot easier to work with


Also got my GT3C firmware kit from losikid so will start on that as soon as my rx's arrive so i can make this thing take 6chs

Had a hr link set on my wraith in past. Id Make sure to lube those links if i were you. They use cheap alum. Balls in the ball joints so the rod end and ball end up wearing each other out for sloppy end results.

Nothin really new here but i got bored and built a double axle trailer for it, nothing special the wheels are alittle wobbly because they don't have bearings in them just drilled out hex nuts, just figured i'd share the k5 scx10 isn't the best tow rig but i might build a dually in the future

This first pic was it as a single axle but that quickly changed to a double axle
