Different twist on the Axial Wraith. 1.9 version like no other

[ScaleReady]

An hour with the portaband, drill, and some beers....voila! Pretty solid. Now it runs full twin hammers running gear. Gotta try to find a way to utilize the trailing arms still.

Way to be thinking outside of box, beers too!

Thank you! Perhaps a conversion kit is in order. The wraith has been out for so long now, it is hard to believe nobody has done this. Beers are a must

best one yet i think

Just move the fronts of the trailing arms to the outside of the chassis so they are parallel. They'll work better and you'll still have triangulation from the rear uppers. Just a thought.

Good idea!! I'll give that a try. **Edit** Won't work with the hammers rear end. The link mounts are too angled. Maybe once it gets the currie rear axle I will give it a try.

ScaleReady, When you do this, you need to make some sort of a double sheer mount for the trailing arm to mount too. Otherwise you got a hang up point and the bolt is venerable to get bent.

I made some mounts/sliders from 1/2" Aluminum C channel. Used 2 M3x30mm screws on each side to hold them on.



1.9Wraith-hammers looks great

I may attempt something similar to that. Maybe make a boatside to help the transition

[microcrawlers]

Sweet!!! I searched for other builds like this but came up empty. Thanks man :-) After a quick VP treatment, it oughta be a pretty capable rig.

[microcrawlers]

if you need help mounting shocks to the chassis to use the trailing arms pm me for pics of how i did it. im working on a trailing and leading arm rig using wraith chassis and twin hammers trailing arms. dont wana thread jack haha

[89redranger]

Love it! Just like I did Microcrawlers'. For a while I have wanted to graft the TH gear into either the Wraith or SCX10. You guys are making it no easier to decide.

I'm curious though, what do you call this particular mashup of parts? We have Wrexos, Wronchos, and, and, and...

Wrammerbolt?

[microcrawlers]

i just called it my wraith lol
didnt wana get into the mashup name ahahahha
