Resurecting Erin - One Off Wraith Chassis Goodness

[TheScaleAddict]

The electronics are all in. Not really a picture worthy moment... Now for some rats nest (wire) management. On the bright side, I found a brand new servo winch that I had picked up just prior to closing my online store. On the dim side, the chassis doesn't have a winch plate. It'll be a shame to have to scuff up the powder coating to weld one on, but that's the direction I'm leaning.

Thanks. There are some great trails up here to go drift busting on. It's a lot of fun. I'll let you know when we are planning another trail run.

Initial render of the Resto Mod Wheel for Erin is in! And yes, these will go into full production. 2.2's first, and 1.9's likely to follow.

The wheel we're modeling this after has a twenty bolt configuration. However, we have options here. What do y'all think? Sixteen bolt, twenty bolt, twenty-four bolt, or thirty-six bolt bead lock ring configuration?

I'm leaning toward twenty too.

Well, we went with 16 holes. I thought we were going with 20, but it's all good. Here are the wheels in raw, and in black (re-machined).
