DeathStar 3.0

[Dirty 'Yota]

Well, it's been a while since I finished my DeathStar 2.0 Wraith:

And I honestly thought I'd never build a Class 2 rig...but I started one. "thumbsup"


This started out as a RTR JK Rubi I bought for my brother a few years ago. He never had any desire to run it and it soon became a big paperweight.

For the first part of the build, I moved the battery tray to the front and stole the Pro-Line JK body and RC4WD 1.9" steelies with Pro-Line TSL's from my Tamiya CR-01. I also swapped the Holmes waterproof BRXL and 27T TorqueMaster Expert.


Then I've added some of these parts for the second part of the build:

- RC4WD Tough Armor rear bumper with swing-away carrier, Tough Armor Stubby front winch bumper, Warn 9.5cti winch, Viking safety thimble, King Kong d-rings
- BGR V1 sliders
- STRC aluminum chassis H-brace
- MIP shafts
- Fast Edward bearings
- RRP hardened idler, diff and slipper unit
- Vanquish Incision front & rear shock hoops


And more parts that won't be added until later:

- Vanquish V1 VVD's, 8-degree c-hubs, panhard bar, 3-link mount
- Axial HD gear sets

I got around to powdercoating the BGR sliders, TSC toolbox and mounting plate I made in Black Magic.

I bolted the mounting plate under the electronics box and to the rear frame brace. Then I used some industrial velcro to hold the toolbox to the plate.

Even though you can't see it from the outside for scale looks, I'm actually going to store some allen wrenches and extra hardware in the toolbox to have handy on the trail. "thumbsup"
