I live in Missoula Montana so my title is a joke. HaHa. My wraith started out as a used AX10 from the LHS. Then I mobbed it around with my coworker, known as "Maslin" on here. So, my addiction to R/C again in life is his fault so blame him. Drove AX10 around 2 years, broke parts, and wanted a different truck, having spent a pile on my AX10 and not wanting to fund too many R/C's, I ordered a used chassis off RC recycler and swapped all my stuff over. I ran the wraith as low as I could get it and used MIP's "Exclusive" length rear shaft and did not need to run a wraith transmission or grind the center skid plate at all. I also have MIP extended 12mm length outputs at all ends. I will update with pics and tech as I can. It is not scale, and I am mean to it similar to Maslin. With my breakage percentage lower than his tho... Parts list: HH PP 540 2700KV MMP Castle BEC 1230SG savox HR spools F/R Axial uni's 43/13 axial Gears F/R VP Truss's VP scale knuckles STRC steering Axial servo horn RR trans gears steel 32p pinion and spur Flysky el cheapo remote/receiver Gmade shocks CI DD soft foams Axial plastic wheels RC4WD wanna-be boggers MIP Driveshafts Aluminum trans housing from HR or somebody Chinese. All stuff You have heard about Before As Old AX10 Driveshaft clearance with AX10 trans Bright ass yellow for the Jeep body I originally wanted a bomber chassis, then I realized Im not cool enough to own a bomber. But, I did qualify for an "amazon warehouse" deal used JEEP JK body. So thats good enough I suppose. Yellow looks ok. Probably wont use many of the stickers.

Some traxxas battery hold down style pins are at my house today. Im gonna mount the body with the pins on the side and just have 1 removable body section to make it faster and easier to work on/take battery out. Cant wait for spring... snow wheeling is cool, but crawling/bashing is better. Not traditional Wraith mounting style but oh well... Mandatory pic. Yellow Banana Monster is ready for a beating soon!

Looks good OP. Is that the Proline body for the wraith?

MASSIVE Tech brought to the table at lunch today, traxxas pins holding my sweet Wrangler JK body on. Your welcome! The yellow, Damn. Like a lemony banana waiting to get scratched on the rock pile. |

Nice Rig , but I'm even more impressed with the clean clutter free shop. Wish our Techs kept our service department that clean.

Thanks for the heads up on the lids. I was gonna buy more than one but hate it when someone tells the members of a great deal and someone goes and practically buys them all out, lol. One of my last purchases added to the pile. This should work until I find one in a hard body. |

I bought that jeep body a while back and it sucks that u gotta hack the grill to make it work I don't even use the body. Jeep grills are a trademark.
