Happy Christmas Eve!

I have been working on a micro wraith chassis and am having trouble finding any top down images. I will take whatever I can get of course, but if there is anyone with a stock wraith and a decent camera...

Best to stay as far back as you can and zoom in a bit to fill the screen. Rather than bring the camera in at normal zoom. This is to minimize the errors of the lens. Top view, front and rear view, and a side view as it could be more accurate than what I have. All covers and hood removed.

For example when doing a side view you want to line up the close and far tires so they are as close to being one circle as possible. Moving farther away and zooming in a bit will reduce the perspective errors as much as possible.

I'm sorta stuck on the top view. The rest would be icing.

Thanks!

You should build it on axels with widners and mcclaws!

Here's a link to my photobucket, no need to put all those big picks up on this page. If you want any more angles just let me know.

Perfect! That is exactly what I needed! Thanks

Still have a question. Wraith top. Flat? or does it bend right behind the seats? Pictures can be deceiving. Should have a little Specter action going really soon!

Have you downloaded the zip file off of axialracing.com?

Fungi · 01-02-2013, 06:48 PM

The site is full of pdf's but I don't see or don't know where to look for this zip file of which you speak. ;)

Click on vehicles, then on one of the wraiths. Scroll all the way down and there will be a link.

Found them. There actually was an image from the side that shows the top is not completely flat. Here is a teaser image. It is happening...

TheScaleAddict · 01-03-2013, 08:07 AM

Right on.

So.... I get a discount for hooking you up with the images, right??? LOL

Fungi · 01-03-2013, 12:49 PM

Ha missed the edit. lol

There are some obvious errors, but the overall chassis is designed. Need to tweak some parts a bit and add shock and link mounts.

TheScaleAddict · 01-03-2013, 02:55 PM

What are you laughing at? I was serious.
