Brandon's 1.9 Wraith Build

[Brandon]

Interior is prepped. Keeping it simple for now, I will add more detail down the road.

 

[Ty@Tekin]

I need to quit reading these builds, now I have to go work on mine.

I like the fact you didn't gloss the seats, I think gloss makes them look unrealistic! Good job!

 

[dezfan]

I love the 1.9 Wraith builds! "thumbsup"

 

[FrankyRizzo]

Like where this is going.

Looks like you may have done this sort of stuff before. :ROR:

 

[Illeagle]

Looks great Brandon. Can wait to see the body go on it.

 

[Brandon]

Body is mounted, I'm in love. Has such a unique/scale look "thumbsup"

I need to sort out a front bumper now.

 

[Tonysmini]

That looks brill, beats the hell out of my scruffy looking bashed up attempt at a SCXWraith combo.

Motivation is a good thing "thumbsup"

Thanks! Seats are the stock black version used in the Wraith kit, I didn't touch them, but I agree, the black looks the best.

I love the 1.9 Wraith builds! "thumbsup"

Thanks Dez!

Thanks FR, I'm a bit rusty but this one is coming together nicely.

How you will fit a hood on it's place? maybe, hinges?

Yup, its hinged. Still need to adjust it a bit and attached the top of the fenders to the cage so they dont move around. It also snags on the grill a bit so I need to trim a bit more there.

what links are those, honcho? dingo? Incredible build..

what links are those, honcho? dingo? Incredible build..

Neither. I went through some trial and error to get the wheelbase to match the openings on the body.

Keep in mind the SCX10/AX10 axles have the AX80043 4-Link Axle truss installed.

Front Lower links: AXA1427 50mm posts with AX80005 bent ends on one side, and the short bent AX80057 ends on the other.

Front Upper Links: AXA1427 50mm posts with AX80057 short bent ends on both ends.

Rear upper and lower links: AX30714 7x73 Links with the long bent rod ends from AX80057 on each end.

Looking good Brandon!

How does the front flex with those short links, any bind or did you limit the shocks?

I love it! Can't wait to see it in a few weeks. "thumbsup"

 

[finishline]

B!!! Very nice work, I have been wanting to do a Wraith 1.9 build for a while now. This just may be my insperation just like the old days:mrgreen: Looking foward to the rest of the build"thumbsup"

 

[pobrockcrawler]

imo, this has to be best the wrath i've seen, also how do 1.9 axial ripsaws compare to 1.9 proline tsl.

thanks

Thanks Chino, The front flex isn't too bad. I brought the front upper links in at the chassis so they wouldn't bind and this helped a lot. Currently its limited by the tires rubbing the chassis and body :ror:

Thanks James! I hope to make some good progress on it this weekend.

Thanks, not too sure how they compare directly to the tsl's. I have not ran them. But these 1.9 Ripsaw's have been my favorite for almost a year now!
