Default wraith wroadster?

here's my humble wraith.I changed all links, servo,motor,pinion,tires,made my own battery relocation plate,added a bec,removed the roof, and hood, cut off the windshield and re-attached it with double sided adhesive to the frame.i am currently waiting on my dmg cage to be built, then I will modify, and mount the hood.once some of the snow melts I will be able to do some crawling.thanks for looking.

Looking good! You've got the bases covered right at the start, should be a solid rig.

Cant wait to see the DMG cage, which stiffy kit did you go with? I'm gonna have them fab me a stock style chassis kit in raw aluminum finish just because I like the full cage look, and run it without the roof panel. That should look pretty cool I think. Did you get an estimated time of completion for the stiffy build?

thanks sevastra, I've done a lot of reading, and tried to cover the basics.revoasian, when I first contacted dmg he said 14 days.it ended up being a few more, I just sent payment, so I will update when I hear back how long it will actually take to build, then ship. I went with the full cage also, I like the look too. I am going to do a couple more small things to set mine apart, but remain topless.the snow is beginning to melt here, so I hope to get some wheel time within a week.

That's a great look with the roof cut off! Can you show how you've got the hood attached and how it's lined up?

thanks boover.i haven't finished the hood yet. i'm getting a dmg stiffy kit cage and front shock drop brakcets, so once I get everything mounted i'll have to cut holes in the hood for the shock mounts, so i'm waiting.and I still have to get the mounts for the hood to pin the hood down.but I will post more pix when I get there.

Cool, cant wait to see the pics. I too completed the install of my DMG Long Back SK and I LOVE it. I decided to not go with the replacement style top cage as mentioned earlier. I wanted the fastback jeep type look, now if I can only figure out how to post pics properly I would be golden.

o.k., here is my spawn .2, decided to do the front flip with the hood.still need to get some posts' to hold down the rear, but for now it's good.i also got rid of the rear under tray/tubing where the stock battery mount was.with the new dmg cage the frame is soo stiff, it's really not needed.and if I had different rear shocks I could get more up travel, since there's no tubing to interfere.also did the tummy tuck.
