Pre-order - Karnage SSR Competition Scale Rails

[grunt95]

Thanks for the pics! looks great one question though does your chassis have every hole just like the stock one? Looking at the pics it seems like it does but there are also some extra holes too?

Thanks a bunch!

Not yet. I've got some adapters being sent out to those that tested my Wraith Rails sometime this week, so I expect pics will follow soon after.
I was planning on getting mine 1.9 Wraith going, but my aluminum chassis is going to a pre-order that came in minutes after I made the first order.

All stock holes represented, and the extra ones to accommodate the wraith chassis.

I'm very interested in seeing this. We are looking at a 1.9 wraith with this particular setup as well. I'll be on the look out for those pics!

Just received mine in the mail. I purchased the steel version. You know you have faith in your product when it's shipped in a padded envelope. I must say that these rails are flat out bad ass. Wow they are beefy. The nicest production chassis on the market to date. I plan on ordering another set for sure. Does return customers get a discount?

I haven't received a tracking number (aluminum version) is it because of the other items I ordered as well?

Still awaiting mine, hopefully this week

Yes, your other items are printing, so as soon as they are ready I'll toss them all in the same package.

Same as for you, since you are getting some extra parts with the rails, it's going out in the mail as soon as the kit is printed.

Awesome! Post pics or a build thread link when you get them going.

I may be able to work out a loyalty discount. There's not a whole lot of margin on these to keep the cost reasonable for you guys, but send me a PM when you are ready to order and we will figure something out.

So testers get the product after the pre-order guys get theirs?

Okay cool, that's what I was thinking. Just making sure usps didn't screw up is all.

The rails have been testing for the past two months locally. You guys are continuing testing the wraith cage aspect of it, hence the adapters.

kinda of a stupid question but I see you still have the stock holes for the shock hoops, so I would assume it would be possible to chop off the shock hoops that come with the chassis and you would be able to run stock one or even after market ones? Cant wait to hear what people think of these chassis.

That's what I am doing to it. Im going to be running the 4 inch bigbores which is basically wraith shocks, but should sit like it has 90-93mm shocks.

I haven't got my chassis yet but I've been setting up my buddies The Scale Shop chassis (very similar) and this is what it looks like so far. Can't wait to set the JCAD up. My buddy regrets not waiting for JCAD because of the bumper heights.

Bumper mounts is the downfall of that chassis imo.

Yeah I was hesitating on it for a while and then the JCAD one was announced and I've been waiting patiently since hahaha

Tell me how it goes. I planed on running these little gems on the JK im building. Only problem was that they use the scx10 shock hoops to mount up. The one and only problem I see with the set up is tires rubbing on the body and maybe too much down travel with such long shocks but shouldent matter to much if you dont plan on running CMS at all.

I'm waiting to get everything for a 1.9 wraith build until i see how these rails look. I will be checking back periodically, and when everything for a wraith is available i will be throwing my money at you!

[Richterat83]

I'm removing a tss chassis for this new setup to get stock bumper mounts back. Tss Is great if you're not worried about gabbing bumper lowering. Here's comparison with its to the tss rails (black) and the new Jcad karnage rails (steel)




I'll be welding in cross supports rather than the plastic chassis cross bars.

Thanks for the comparison pics, I don't have the TSS chassis, so I appreciate the pics. I think they are helpful to those considering either chassis to see the differences.


In other news, here's a sneak peak at the wraith chassis compatibility:








But, my wraith chassis is highly modified, so I sent out some chassis and adapters to my testers, and soon they should be posting up pics of their builds.
There are some minor modifications to make it work, but nothing requiring special tools. More info on that when the testers get started on their builds.

Once the testers verify that the adapters fit and clear everything, I will add them to my website.

One thing I really like about this solution is for those using SCX axles under the wraith chassis (1.9 Wraith), you get to keep the up-to-date geometry of the SCX (and all the performance) but get the looks of the wraith cage.

Feel free to post any comments, questions or suggestions.

Any update on these? Can't wait to start building mine!
