I'm working on building a Wraith from the big tote of crawler parts that Aron gave me the other day.

I managed to build a chassis out of the two that were in the box, but I need a bunch more stuff to make a complete Wraith.

Lemme know what u are missing, more than happy to help a brotha out if i can.

Kaler · 02-19-2015, 04:09 PM

Hey rob, I have a set of wraith rtr body panels you can have or I can make you a set of aluminum ones and you can paint them whatever color you want. I also have the stock rtr wheels. You'll have to acetone them to get the ripsaws off. Unless you want them too.

Countryhandyman · 02-19-2015, 05:59 PM

Looks like that chassis got run hard.....

Ya real hard! Rob brought it in the shop yesterday, that thing is messed up bad. What happened to it??

Androtaz · 02-19-2015, 07:32 PM

rob I have a full set of trail ready take offs from my PS wraith u want them they are urs.

Countryhandyman · 02-20-2015, 08:39 AM

Everything has happened to that chassis. I've run it for many years, it's been a wraith, a 1.9 scx10 axle rig, it's had clodbuster tires on it, paddles and 7700kv castle system, it's had a brushless 2 speed tranny. It has been used for crawling, beating, foff, hydroplaning, koh and lastly for gravity testing. It's nice to see it coming back from the dead.

Full Throttle Rob · 02-20-2015, 09:07 AM

I do believe "dead" is an understatement, but a slow and methodical resurrection is definitely the game plan for this old gal.
What's the difference between an SCX-10 transmission and a Wraith transmission?

The wraith tranny has extended outputs and a dig option. Gears are identical inside aside from the output shafts.

So I could use an SCX-10 transmission if I found/made longer driveshafts? Or swap output shafts?

Androtaz · 02-20-2015, 12:34 PM

Yes you can. my sons wraith has a scx10 trans in it. Had to make a longer rear driveshaft for it. Only thing is , the shaft itself had to be a small dia. you wouldn't be able to use a stocker or mips, it will hit on the skid plate. Mine is and HR shaft with a screw driver shank for the shaft lol

Androtaz · 02-20-2015, 12:43 PM

similar to these. just make a longer shaft. have to drill holes for the pins to go through. Made it work so was worth it. if you decide to do that let me know I have 2 ends to make a drive shaft.

robertjpjr · 02-20-2015, 08:13 PM

Got the parts I ordered today. Put on the new bumpers.

Unsure how I like the "Grill guard" It is removable.

Full Throttle Rob · 02-21-2015, 09:12 PM

Aluminum body panels by Kaler installed, along with SCX-10 shocks.

Tires propped up for a finished look.

skybolt · 02-24-2015, 07:00 PM

Got the spouse's battery relocated.

robertjpjr · 02-26-2015, 11:04 AM

Put a more practical motor in the scx10.
Turnigy 2 pole 3250kv 10.5 turn. 56/9 gearing. Also added a metal servo horn.

robertjpjr · 03-03-2015, 11:25 AM

Added new Titanium steering linkage for both the SCX and Wraith.

robertjpjr · 03-05-2015, 11:20 AM

Had the Wraith out on top of the snow. It has a nice crusty layer. Then I lost my driveshaft pin.

Full Throttle Rob · 03-05-2015, 12:01 PM

I'm SO jealous! Hahaha!
I need a bunch of parts before I can bring out a working Wraith.... LOL
