Default nfcrockett's Wraith Build

I figured I'd go ahead and start emptying the wallet on my wraith, hence a build thread. The wraith is mostly stock as it sits. I ended up buying a yeti shortly after purchasing the wraith. So the wraith for the most part has been sitting collecting dust for the last 8 months. Now that my yeti is "bullet proofish" I'll start shifting my focus on building a U4 style wraith. With that being said this is the chassis for now. I plan on keeping this a "slower budget" build, we'll see how that goes. I'll post more progress once my dlux axle housings and truss' arrive, hopefully this weekend.

Finally got some goodies in. I had the electronics laying around from another project.

Traxxas MMP
Hitec 7955
Pro4 3300kv

Also, I got VP lockers in. I'll be using 38/13 hd gears, spares from my yeti.

Well "slow budget build" went out the window. Ordered a bunch of parts, left for a 2 day vacation and came home to my house flooded. Yesterday I was finally able to stay at home and I worked on the wraith while the 10 fans and 2 dehumidifers were going. Here's a sneak peak for now. I'll have some more detailed pictures up. Also, waiting for supershafty's bombproof trans to become available.

Servo was slightly exposed below the axle. So I made a servo guard out of aluminum.

Well in between cutting up a new body, I went ahead and mounted the vp light bars.
