|  Redcat everest 10 to Wraith
I have an Everest 10 on order. I can get a wraith chassis with links on eBay. I know I'll need to modify the skid plate to accommodate the e10 trans. But will everything else work on the wraith? Axles, shocks, driveshaft, etc.? Thanks. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk |

The axles will be quite a bit more narrow than Wraith axles...so I think that will be the biggest hurdle if you're planning on using the stock 2.2 wheels and tires. I'm sure it's not impossible, but it'll require some tinkering. Search for some 1.9 Wraith builds and you'll see some builds people are doing with axles like scx10 axles, which will be similar in size to the E10, I would imagine. |

Ok thanks. I figured that would be the only issue. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk |

Sorry to revive this thread from the dead but if you like the wraith body you can just swap it in your Everest like I did (except this is a plastic knockoff wraith) still durable though, and would save you a lot of work,I just finished mine [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]

That looks pretty awesome. was there no way to mount everything inside the wraith? Use it as an actually chassis instead of just a shell? Also where did you get the body from?

I used the same toy Wraith look-a-like. I swapped my Everest axles, trans, and electronics to it and put it on 1.9 tires.

I made the links, but the mounting points worked perfect. It has great articulation.   |

Very cool. If i didnt do the full metal tube chassis on my E10 i would have definitely gone this route. Well done.

Here it is with the 1.9 tires. I haven't taken any pictures with the panels back on it yet. I'll be posting a build thread soon. I've got everything finished up now.  |

That looks perfect with the 1.9's on it. Are those the shocks from the original ebay rc car?

They're from a Team Associated Rival monster truck. The springs are from the toy. I made limiting straps in the center to hold the suspension compressed about 3/4.  |

Too bad those cages can't be bought separately, like a replacement part.
