| Complete Generic built Wraith
Hi All, I have been off the forums for quite some time but recently I began looking at the aftermarket bits and pieces available for Wraiths and slowly put together an entire build using parts from China. I know its not pure and some may not like what I am building but I am having fun and Its coming along pretty well. I started with a steel cage that came with panels, roof rack and rack lights The skid and Battery tray are the only Axial parts used and the battery tray was used in the back for electronics and Fuel cell receiver box mounting Complete aluminum axles Samix titanium links Boom Racing Bad A$$ ball ends KYX aluminum - metal gear transmission Traxxas E-Maxx shocks - 8 shock configuration, 15wt oil Traxxas E+Maxx drive shafts RC world 140mm 2.2 wheels and tires Generic Sway bar links, custom length 1/8 music wire rod, custom links 2200KV sensored motor 120A sensored ESC 6V - 8A BEC 25KG servo 3000MAH 3s Flourion Liop Custom fabbed aluminum rear tub panels Head and tail lights 100mm HR limiting straps RPM blower and side pipes Custom 3D printed Hood detail Stainless hardware Red aluminum washers and lock nuts throughout Aluminum shock converted into steering linkage / servo saver (plunger mid way separated by 2 pieces of compressed fuel tubing) Bungee rooof net Really fun build so far |

Haven't decoded on interior yet - working out some small design issues. Bent a titanium lower link (landed on one rear tire from about a 12" drop)- not sure what to do there> need to thread lock the set screws on the Sway Bay arms motor gets quite hot - might need to gear down a bit the sensored system is really smooth (really good low speed control) and top speed is not crazy but I need to get a handle on the temps |

It is a heavy beast - 1/8 scale stuff might be needed - thanks for the thoughts |

Nice, I buy most of my parts from eBay, because frankly this shit can get expensive and I don’t know if the more expensive shit like fancy drive shafts or links are worth the money when my cheap crap has held up fine for my use. Where do you source yours from? Nice rig! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

a little tip if you get tired of the roof rack lights getting messed up when you flip you can actually mount the roof rack upside down inside the truck so the lights are then inside the truck that is what i did with mine but that being said it does look much better the way you have it but im more about functionality then looks awesome rig man we have a very similar
