Default Trailing Arm Suspension Kits for Wraith

BMRC
is pleased to present Trailing Arm suspension components and complete kits for your Axial Wraith:





















































































FAQ: they look pretty good, but whats the benefit on using them over the stock lower links?

Short Answer: trailing arms are awesome.

Long Answer:

Scale looks inspired by KOH/Ultra 4, increased strength and extreme adjustability:
  • Trailing arms will lower the vehicle while increasing suspension travel. Lowering your Wraith from stock height will greatly improve it's handling at higher speeds and the added travel is needed when you get to the rocks.

  • Dual rear shocks (optional) give you double the damping and more tuning combinations.

  • Our upper shock mounting system has multiple shock mounting points and greatly adds to the strength and rigidity way beyond stock. The upper mounting system is included in the kit but also available separately.



You must relocate your battery, there are many aftermarket options for relocating your battery forward to a more optimal location. Shorter front shocks or a front droop kit is recommended to keep a level ride height.

Wraith trailing arms, upper shock kits, titanium links and even brass knuckle weights can all be found on our website. Thanks for looking

why are they inboard mounted instead of outside the upper shock mounts??

looks like depending upon what shock you use it may rub..

they can certainly be mounted outboard but there is a very pesky piece of the chassis that gets in the way. YOU and most other folks on this forum can cut it out and reinforce the weakened area..... but most of my general customers would have a brick if they had to cut away a structural piece of the chassis to install an aftermarket component .



i have used the XD piggyback shocks on this setup which are HUGE. there was some rubbing when using springs on BOTH shocks but everything articulated fine. the gmade XD pigs measure .720" on the OD. i would not recommend running larger shocks than .720" with this setup. if you do run bigger shocks you must remove the springs from one of them (something i would highly recommend anyway).

Thank you!!!
I know how long these are and they will work fine on my KOH. I don't have a Twin Hammers so I wasn't sure those would work for me.

I just purchased 2 sets for a custom chassis being made by mattzilla. It will be a leading arm/ trailing arm setup. Should be super cool. Thanks for the great product.

I've got them mocked up on a stock wraith chassis with the long pro line shocks on Currie axles. So smooth its crazy. And the travel is second to none. I'll post pics when I get home.

Not the best pics but this will give you an idea what is capable with these awesome products. This rig is being built specifically to dominate the competition at the glen hellen rock racing series. I'm sure no one will come close. Blue monkey is my secret weapon. Don't tell. I will do a build thread with the pics I get from mattzilla.

sweet. as far as i know that's the first time anyone has ever done this with a wraith. did you mount the front shocks in the stock location?

Yes. They will work in the stock location. I personally would however run them in the inboard position. But for a bolt on upgrade it is the best. They will work on the outboard position with no modification of the stock chassis. p.s. I love the hat thanks. I will post more pics of some little tricks I did with my Currie axles to work better with the arms. You rock.
