Hope to see more of this build! I'm waiting on the iZilla chassis to start a build. Looks like a very flexible platform.

looks good. Do you like that STRC chassis? Was thinking about picking one up.

its cool its got lots of options, its huge, those are 140mm shocks, I still had to add holes for the second shock. seems well built. kinda cool its got sway bar mounts built in, I don't know if I'm gonna need them though, I feel like the duals are gonna stiffen it up a bunch....I really wish they offered a gun metal/ green combo

some updates

Very nice my friend!
Im building one of these myself and I was wondering if you used any underdrive in rear and if so what did you do up front?
Thanks!

got the fwd/rev thing figured out....shes pretty much ready to run....a little more tweaking with driveshaft's/angles, and shock mounts and she'll be solid, super fun to rally around the yard...

[Fintobean]

That's awesome brother! Looks Sharp!!!
Can't wait to get mine done now!

Oh, mannn! I'm thinking about doing the Izilla conversion, too, and this doesn't help. Hahaha... I was going to tune my Wraith for trailing & crawling, but haven't been inspired to get around to it. Subbed!

I have some more tweaking to do but its super fun to drive, I cant wait to find some mud for it.....it so easy to make it big with the izlla chassis...those are 140 mil shocks....im pretty sure once I get it dialed in ill be able to drive over most other monster/megas

Are those the ROCK CRUSHER MONSTER 40 SERIES 3.8" TIRES? They're humongous! If I were to do an Izilla conversion, it'd most likely be for the purpose of making just a big 2.2 truck. Did you use standard Wraith links or did you set a custom wheelbase? I'd like to keep all my drivetrain & links intact, and just top it off with a nice lexan body.
