It looks amazing! Onetoomanyrcs has some great light options! From scalenligjt bars to u4 lights and even some pods. I'm sure you can find something there to fit the look you are going for. They are pretty reasonably priced with free shipping but shipping takes a while.

Looks good. Just about the right amount of motivation I needed to move my scx axles to my Wraith. Now to figure out what body for the ar60s.

Made a few changes.... Installed a grille, chassis rock lights, roof rack with a light bar, swapped out the g-made shocks to traxxas big bore shocks with losi mini springs. And more scale goodness. figure it would all look good with some action shots....

Do it! I tried using my scx10 ottsix axles but had a hard time figuring a pan hard bar set up.... I ended up going with the scx10.2 Ar44 axles since they already have an integrated pan hard bar and are a little widerhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...046e0edef4.jpg

Why did you mount the Traxxas shocks upside down?

So I can swap springs if I needed to. If I mounted them the other way, I would have to remove the c-hubs and lockouts to get to the bottom shock mount

While not the reasons mentioned there can be additional benefits from upside down mounting,
One is it puts the heaviest part of the shock lowest, lowering the truck CoG (this is exact opposite of a go fast where you put the light shaft on the axle to reduce unsprung weight)
Second is it puts any air caught in the shock right at the start of it's travel, or if you run soft springs & some sag/droop, behind the piston rather than in front, meaning it doesn't effect the damping so much
Lastly, it's really hard for oil to leak out the shaft seal when it has to go up first

Wow! I'm a genius and didn't even know it thanks for the extra info man!
