| wraith based Silverado monster truck
I've always wanted to build a monster truck and I had a wraith drivetrain sitting here so I picked up a set of tires and wheels from a buddy and got to work yesterday. I started off with sanding and priming the body then got to work on the base of the chassis, the skid is shaved down as narrow as could go and still use the link mounts and the body has a 12.5"wb |

By late yesterday I got it almost finished and this morning all that is left is shock mounts and a hinged prop rod for the body. The tires are a bit big I think and they are mad force wheels with 19mm hex which I can't seem to find a hex adapter so will be on the hunt for some clod qheels and 12mm adapters |

you should cut the skid tab down and use a ax10 skid.

Looks great. Simple and effective. Use of wraith skid will help on keeping things strong and reliable. And will help resale value. Lol |

Got the new wheels and tires today and took it for a little spin in the gravel, Super fun! Just gotta paint the wheels and glue the tires on. For electronics it has everything out of my avenger bouncer, HH wp brxl, 13t crawlmaster and jr9100 servo |
