Default Rear shock access?

The upper mounting bolts for the rear shocks on the wraith are really hard to get to because of the cage/body. has anyone done a mod to facilitate access? Any tips/tricks?

The cage flexes a good amount just push it up or down a bit until you can get your hex driver in there...

Flip the whole rear upper shock mount it puts the screws above body and cage

I took the body panel off and it wasn't so bad. Still, I've ordered these:

TowerHobbies.com | Traxxas Set Grub Screws 3x25mm T-Maxx 2.5 (

I will replace the stock screws with these and then use a lock nut to hold the shock on. This way I can use a flat wrench on the inside of the fender to get them off easily.

It is what it is, you'll need to either remove body panels or flip the top mount as suggested to make it easier.
