Steel frame

[000AJD]

Seen quite a few guys building rock bouncers or rock racers with that steel cage lately. They cut off that front stinger though.

I have the same cage, you have to get creative to mount panels, it’s very top heavy, and the Hot Racing skid plate fits perfectly. There’s enough room to run a 2 speed, as well.

Yeah, I haven’t done it yet but I plan on using those “P” clip things

The panels & interior could be easily anchored with small P-clips available from electrical hardware, sometimes general hardware & some auto parts stores.

If you've already done the Fast back mod to your Wraith & are looking for that style of chassis something like the replica's for the Bomber might be more in your market


for Axial RR10 #XS-59699, ,(XS-59699) by Xtra Speed V Metal Cage Chassis Black

Wraith cockpit, skid, links etc should all work the same.
Same problem of no panel mounts but P-clips will work exact same.

Currently rebuilding my Wraith using this chassis. It’s surprisingly high quality, but it’s really designed off the bomber. Brazed in some new rear shock mounts and it’s good to go. Instead of using a scale interior I’m sorta making my own. I’ll try to get some pics up when I make a little more progress.

That’s mine with hi lift axles

I’m sure those clips will work, but, I know you can get them in metal

You can, I just thought that the plastic ones will blend in better

You know how it is, old man like me thinks he knows everything. Lol. Anything that keeps it together is perfect.

Hey guys! I just ran across this thread. (Thanks for the shout out on my build durok!) I basically ended up building mine because I had all the parts I needed short of a chassis. I figured I'd check out one of these chinesium metal units and see how the quality looked. To my surprise, it was a lot better than I thought, and as I recall, I scored it for like $40 US shipped. It's been driven pretty hard since, and taken some serious tumbles. It's held up well with little more than some scrapes and scratches. Panel attachment can be a bit difficult. I used screws for the side panels that tie in to the skid plate. I wanted the aluminum hood I made to look clean, so i ended up using some adhesive velcro. (It holds surprisingly tight).

Go back to my build thread and It shows what I ended up doing. But, let me know if you need some specific pics. Just DM me.
