Bought a used Wraith, how did I do?

[Smonkman]

Picked up this Wraith from a local RC enthusiast. I've only been in the RC world for 6 months, I have an SCX10 and an Ascender.
The Wraith I picked up has a Sidewinder 3 ESC, Tekin 35 T motor and Hitec servo. Some of the links are aluminum and it has MIP driveshafts. I think it's a good rig. The wiring job seems sloppy, extra lights I'll need to remove.
I think I'm gonna try to mount my G6 body from my SCX 10, redo the links and clean up the wiring.

Wraith experts, is it a decent rig? Am I on the right track?

Can't see very clear but it looks like the upper links are strait . The 2 perforated parts used for the cage mod on the backside of the rig are original upper links. They are bend to them from prevent hitting the driveshaft. Check for binding during suspension travel.

other then that I don't see any weird thing for now.

Looks like a pretty decent rig. I would definitely look into replacing the plastic links with metal links. Other than that it looks pretty solid. Make sure the driveline is smooth like suggested above. Also may want to look into the transmission to see if there are metal gears, if not that would be the next thing I would look into upgrading to.

Looks good to me but i'd do like mentioned and lift each tire off the ground until one of the others starts to come off the ground and check to make sure the front links aren't touching the drive shaft...

Looks good. I would go back to a stock skid plate myself.

Same, change the skid back to plastic, aluminium loves to grip rocks (which is a good reason not to have aluminium links)
