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.

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!

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.

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!
