Here Brian. Fuel cell will fill the gap...and hide the battery. and it would only be proper for the battery to go inside the fuel cell. Last edited by YoUnG_vErSiOn; 12-21-2011 at 04:31 PM. |

And for my next trick...hahaha it was just bent for mockup, i wanted to see if it even looked ok. if i decide to move forward with this, it'll need struts and a skid. i think it looks alright. BTW: i needed to use the shackles in order to clear the bumper...i may change the bumper so it looks more true to scale. |

I'm really digging the longer wheelbase and how you cut the back. Tubework looks great as well. It's just begging to be set up with 4-wheel steering. This is looking really good so far! Last edited by Big Mike; 12-23-2011 at 08:13 AM. |

I was wondering when someone would use Wraith axles to make a "one ton Jeep" out of a 1/6th scale rig. Great job! |

Thank you, now that the Trailfinder 2 is complete, Wreep will finally get some much needed attention.

| Re: Wr-eep!
No prob, VP made it. the kit was for the wraith...however rc4wd's kit looks like it would've been a better choice. much more arts and adaptability for my application. unfortunately..it was available when i originally got the mount.. BTW: the Wreep is getting some one-off buckets made especially for this build...you'll see what I'm talking about soon...It'll be SICK!
