Default Questions for 1.9 Wraith Owners

Putting together a 1.9 Wraith with SCX axles more geared towards U4.

Shocks:
Wondering what the consensus is on shock lengths. Do you run longer 100mm shocks with droop or are you running shorter 93mm shocks.

Panhard/CMS:
What is a good setup that works with the wraith chassis and SCX axles?

Wheelbase:
Looks like 13" is the sweet spot, any thoughts on this?

Thx in advance

90-103mm is ok
Strc or vp cms with vp, hand bros, rc4wd, ssd or BM will work but vp can be bought alone for $20"thumbsup
12.5-13 is good

I found 103mm to be decent but I recently switched to vaterra ascender aluminum shocks which when I measured we're about 107-108mm. Haven't had a chance to run them yet but I think they will do good. (Note: I am also running 100mm limiting straps)
I'm running a RC4WD chassis side mount and a VP scx10 3 link axle mounted. VP chassis mount is another good option.
Currently at 13". I wasn't really happy with a 13.6" wb.

Shortened the wheelbase on my wraith axled rig to 13 1/4 inches and loving it. With the smaller 1.9's 13 or a bit smaller should look good. You'll have to shorten the front more so than the rear.

As for shocks and etc I think it really depends on how scale you want it to be.

My wheelbase is about 12.5"
Shocks are 103gmade in rear, stock up front, both with lowering kit.
Still running the axle mounted servo with 4 link.

Works well for what I do with it. I would like to experiment with longer shocks, and eventually do the CMS.

What are your thoughts on running SCX axles vs narrowed Wraith?

Scx axles are easy.. Bolt them up.
