Ya I was noticing that. They seem a bit large / stiff for the tire. I'll probably star cut them or something. If all else fails I'll pick up new foams if I just hate them.

Got my Wraith dig output shaft today and attempted to put it in.
Apparently the Wraith has a different rear output bearing and a different rear transmission case.
It looks like more parts are necessary.

LOL

New foams for the Super Swampers. The stock ones were just too stiff.
Got the CrawlerInnovations 5.5" Comp Cut Dueces Wild foams. They seem like a nice set. Looking forward to testing them out very soon!

Old vs New

Another step closer to completion on the Wraith!!!
I have a radio for it, I just need an ESC and tranny and I'll be ravaging the rocks with that rig too!!!

So, after seeing an identical twin to my Wrangler on it's maiden voyage, I decided I needed to change that.
Bought a new body and applied 3 cans of Tamiya metallic purple to it.
It looks REALLY good, but naturally the pics don't do it any justice. LOL

Well, went from building up my new power wagon, to ripping the goods out from my wraith (Curries and links and servo) and installing them now into my "Power Wragon" So I'm really hoping that it turns out. I've already done the Toyzuki LCG Mount, swapped my trans gears to hardened steel and aluminum housing, so this should be pretty good when it's all done. Pics soon.

After the rear half went flawlessly and a little too easy, started on the front and this is where my trouble began. I don't think that the LCG plate will work with my setup as the diff input gear is so far to the left that the drive line interferes big time with my motor, and keep in mind, this is just the standard motor that came with, just located forward. Looks like the Power Wragon is going to be factory motor location and my lucky son just got himself an amazing LCG motor mount setup. As much as I do love that setup in the truck, the thought of getting my wraith width currie rock jocks under that truck is just too much happiness not to try. So, I'll keep you posted and hopefully this thing works out the way i'm hoping it will.

Rogue GRFX Wrap and new stainless wheel hardware for the Wraith.

The camera seems to capture the color as a shade of purple, its more like green.

Put the interior back in as well.

Finally Got the bench cleared off. Where I'm waiting on cvd shafts for the Dodge (more on that in a bit) Figured it was time to get at the old Poison Spyder Wraith for some repairs and an upgrade. Rok412 in, just need to test it.

Been wanting to add this for a while. Still need a fuel cell to hook it up to.

Now to the Dodge! The scx10 front axle is out the window. Along with the rc4wd panhard and cms ( now on the Bronco) With a centered pumpkin, my drive shaft hits my trans HARD! So after hours of digging online, I picked up a new Wraith axle to narrow. It seemed to go rather easily.

Took a lot of thinking. I have to run a pan hard bar. No room for a 4 link. With the offset pumpkin , I think I got it. Had a VP pan hard wraith axle mount kicking around and with some cutting ,I think I got this part figured out. Now im just waiting on cvd shafts to cut down.

So here the Dodge sits. Waiting for parts. ( I hate waiting on parts!!!)

Cant wait to get out on the rocks!!!!! Enough snow already!!!!

I made a bit of progress tonight on the POWER WRAGON tonight, got my front end squared away and it looks sweet with the wraith curries and 2.2 tsl swampers. I'm thinking that the wraith shocks will be a needed addition so I might be looking at getting some prolines. It's a work in progress though but a blast to keep everything going.
