Blue Collar Wraith

[pauly383]

Been wheeling fullsize rigs a long time , well until the kids came lol . Now I have been wheeling rc crawlers in earnest for over a year ( LURKED HERE FOR YEARS ) . I find this just as fun , and its easier to do with limited time and a best friend living out of state ( no fullsize help on call ) .

My wraith is a mix of what little I pay for , and what I can do with what I have laying around . Started with a used Poison Spyder and went from there .

Metal gears in stock trans
32p 10/60 gearing
venom creeper shocks on homemade brackets , matter of fact front brackets are tamiya frog front suspension split in half .
who knows rc seats ( my wraith came with full body and no interior )
45t rc4wd motor
still running nimh for now
haven't fully settled on lights or panels and I change them often
battery tray from the molded lexan of a ps3 controller package
half hinged hood because of the shock mounting
extended front bumper with venom parts
cut the rear , sometimes I run a spare there too
the links were all made before me but the geometry is good so I leave it alone
added nuts to sterring linkage so it looks more real on the ends
pitbulls on axial ifd's with the widest hubs I could buy in town
strc steering and lockouts ( no issues with mine , I added extra screws and red threadlock though later on )
savox servo , stock esc , stock radio all work fine .
electronics moved to floorboard , just need to fab cover so you cant see it in interior
homemade fuel cell from some cast off rc internal cover ( I bought at goodwill for body )
nuts and bolts fixes stripped plastic beadlocks and add weight
slickrock battery fit the electronic box without lid and hood holds it in for light power
lots more I forgot
