Trailing Arm Suspension Kits for Wraith

[arevir]

thanks, ordering another kit.

[JoeConti]

Which are are available now with this kit, the single or twin shock version?
This post is over a year old. is the front kit available yet since then? Link anyone?

Thanks

at least 6 customers have used the trailing arms in the front and were very happy. most of the ones who reported back used the stock front shock mounting location.

there is only one style now. fully CNC machined, 1-2 shocks, closed bottom, anodized black.

the plain aluminum thru-hole single OR double shock trailing arms are no longer being produced.

Would you be able to do custom length's? Maybe a pair for a 12.3 wb scx10?

[Blue Monkey RC]

well i'm not doing custom trailing arms anymore since everything is CNC machined now so it takes many hours to develop a drawing, create and prove a program .

each set of custom links would cost me about 800 bucks. thats how much it cost to design the new Yeti trailing arms which are only 2 mm shorter than an existing trailing arm (VTH +1").

HOWEVER i have always wanted to do a kit for the scx10 so i will look into that. i need to buy another chassis because the only SCX i have is getting a leaf spring makeover.

have you seen this? lots of options simply by using different rod ends on existing links:

I have seen it and I'd need an extra 3mm if I use the 95mm length links. I might just get the 95mm links an put a couple of washers on each end until I get to the right length. But, it would be cool if you made some for the scx10.

Huge thanks to Matt @ BMRC. He set me up with the DMG trailing arm stiffy kit, trailing arms, TI links and steering links. I sent him in my front axle with VP scale Knucks/C hubs and he bent TI steering links for it. Wow what a difference!!

I've battles this wraith since day 1 (2 1/2 years) and was about to sell it...

But now, it crawls like a champ, and it's way more durable. This is hands down the best mod I've done on the copper wraith.

I'll be posting up a build thread soon, but I had to give Matt a shoutout and post a few pics. If you're on the fence about this setup, have no doubts, it's the real deal.

Here's a few pics from last weekends shake down and a few other randoms.










It looks like I'm hung in this pic, but nope, I crawled right up that no problem.

Getting ready to hit the beach...




I still have to finish this build, add details etc, but after running this rig on the sand and on the rocks, I'm finally happy with how it performs.

Thank you Matt!!

Just an update on the progress of my Wraith with the BMRC trailing arms, links, and DMG trailing arm stiffy kit...

I've adjusted (lowered) the ride height and tweaked suspension. The truck is MUCH more stable and predictable, and is still articulating extremely well.

We had a challenge in the SC section for how far you can get your truck twisted before tipping over (on the bench) and so I figured I should show it off a little here.

I mean, it's totally nuts!





Here's a couple other shots I have, and the suspension isn't even at it's max (while keeping the front tires on the ground).





I can't express how well this system works. This is by far the best mod I've done to my wraith, and it's a game changer. I can't wait to really put it through the paces this weekend.

Thanks again for the great service and products!!

BMRC FTMFW!!!

Are these instock at the web store at the moment?

[ReconFred]

I feel obligated to say what an enormous difference the stage 2 trailing arm kit made on my wraith. Its easily one of the best upgrades for the money imho. Next om my list, the DmG stiffy kit.

Would these work on a wroncho?

if your wroncho build uses stock length wraith rear links then the trailing arms should work. i have no idea how the shocks would mount and line up with the TAs....

[dpcardoza]

Any reason trailing arms wouldn't work on an scx10 lwb build? Are any other mods needed to keep the geometry correct?
