Re: My Wrait With a Stiffy
 

Looks awesome.....and familiar!!! Coincidentally, I just ordered DMG's new style front bumper as well, except this time I went with the flat top. If you want maximum tire performance, throw a set of Sedonas on; these tires will blow your mind compared to most regular tires. I didn't build mine for scale points, I built it to crawl.

Re: My Wrait With a Stiffy
 

Thanks for your kind words. Yes I had looked at yours (Which looks awesome by the way "thumbsup") mine would have been even more so as I already have the aluminum hood and body panel's. So now I have new Dinkyrc hood ordered to go with another set of side panels I already had. I am pondering color as I do not want it to look like someone else's :). I have a set of Sedonas also but since there is not really a lot of places to crawl around here. I will be doing more trail driving so not sure what tire I will end up with. Just a note on the Sedonas, they are mounted on the same wheels and rings your using. I guess great minds think alike :mrgreen:

Re: My Wrait With a Stiffy
 

Thanks and yes its a Dinky RC Wraith Hood V2 but it was from the org build when I had a BGR KOH Cage V2, same with side panels. Plan to change them out.

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy
 

very nice looking.hard to go wrong with dmg products.well built, and makes a huge difference to the stock chassis.

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy
 

And the little Stiffy will have new power. The New Holmes Puller Pro BL 540 3500kv on its way to my door. Can't wait to give this a try. And its waterproof to "thumbsup"

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy
 

great looking ride.always good to see another dmg cage.

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy
 

Looking good! Are there any advantages to using a DMG kit or is it just for looks?

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy
 

Not sure about everyone else but for me I choose it because it stiffens the chassis and also give you more movement (or some refer to as flex) in the rear with the trailing arms and clearance also. For someone who is bashing I don’t think it would benefit them in any way, but crawling or something like the U4 I think it is great way to go. If you look through the forums you will notice quit a few people run them. But that’s just my 2 cents worth.

Plus it looks really cool "thumbsup"

Getting there slowly but surely. Bumpers should be in Monday.... A custom one from BGR (Thanks Bill) and a Proto Fab Stinger from Mad Shin(Thanks Scott)

Re: My Wraith With a Stiffy

Then I went to work on the front drive shaft angle. I trimed down 2 Jato rod ends until the servo still cleared the bumper. This is what I ended up with. Not perfect but not bad now.
