Default Experiment 626 Re-birth!

I sold the DMG short back dual shock trailing arm stiffy kit out of experiment 626 last year and put the body panels in mothballs and scavenged the rest of the parts to build a new and improved DMG long back dual shock trailing arm stiffy kit wraith.



I miss Experiment 626 more than I realized and am bringing her back with a slight modification to the stiffy kit, going with a stump back stiffy kit this time. I had one a few years ago and it performed as well as the original stiffy kit in 626, so I am using one in the re-birth.



I picked up a poison spyder wraith roller locally and am scavenging parts from it, it had a scx10 rtr trans in it and I didnt want to use that for the wraith as it causes issues with the rear driveshaft, usually needing an extended output for the rear...not what I want. I ordered an all metal trans off ebay, looks like a decent one, we will see. I also ordered beef tubes for the front and rear axle housings.

The drive shafts that came with the roller need rebuilt..they were hacked to get the scx10 trans to work. I have plenty of HD WB8 axial drive shaft parts to do this, so no biggie. I have a servo on the way and already have a brushless motor I can use for now. All I am lacking is an ESC for it. I am debating whether to go HH Trail master BLE or Mamba X...


Here are a few shots of the original build...I took 3rd place in my very first comp with her and I cant wait to get her going again!

link to the original build, started back in 2014!

I now have an interior and I swapped out the Chinese bead locks for some Team Raffee wide bead locks and it makes a huge difference in the way it handles and the aesthetics of it...

While I wouldn't necessarily love those wheels on most rigs, they look perfect on yours - matches the slightly retro vibe you got going on there...

Really nice job awakening the beast!

got the Gmade Zero shocks today, my carpal tunnel made putting the shocks together an exercise in dropping parts and extreme cussing... neighbors are probably wondering what was going on...
