| Aluminum Body Panels
Greetings, Is there a vendor here who makes a decent set of aluminum panels for the wraith spawn.? The garbage sold on ebay isn't gonna work for me, or should I just accept that I need to make my own? s |

Really just depends on what your looking for. I have purchased from ebay a couple sets of wraith body panels that have been really good quality. Also have a couple of the yeti xl bodies done by same person. The blue version is available on ebay right now. He usually will take 75 ish for them. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

I did see those. I picked up a different set from another vendor without the holes and such, and the fit is crap. But, it could also be that my Axial frame is not properly drilled from the factory. s. |

Steve - my go to for Axial panels has always been AMF - I am using several of their Bomber panels, mixed with (no longer available) Carter Fab panels for the sides: https://www.rpphobby.com/category_s/...d=AMF%20Racing |

Those amf look good for sure the ones I have from ebay fit well no issues on 3 different wraiths. Only reason I like mine so much is I have batteries mounted in the front of all of mine and the hood is already set up with hinges and magnets that makes it a breeze to change batteries. Also no need to modify anything like the AMF hood would have to be modified for my application. Just depends on your application I guess. At least for me the ones I showed work very well no fitment issues. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

Thanks guys. I've been reworking the set from ebay and just finished cutting the slots for the shock mounts to go through the hood. I'll practice on this first set, and then another from RPP when I beat these to death on our big rocks. Some of these climbs can result in a nasty tumble. |

Looks like a fun place to go. Wish I had that kind of terrain to crawl. Good luck with the panels. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |

I made my own out of .060” aluminum sheet and my son cerakoted them. They’ve been hammered a few times and are scratched, but still straight. This first set is a little rough, but I plan to try again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
