ifs wraith jeep brute

[t-roc]

so sorry for the delay. I have been busy with other projects. this chassis was all assembled from a wraith chassis kit and a complete exo. i had completed the body and then needed something to put underneath it and always liked the ifs wraith builds. this was really just a prototype to see how everything went together and then I am eventually going to braze a metal frame for it. I didn't think it would come together as strong as it did. rear wheels use rc4wd hex spacers. here are some photos with the body off.

Man this is awesome! You really did a nice job! Since hummers are 4WIFS I have thought of making a full ifs hummer. I would have to use a 1/16 scale truck suspension. I wonder how good a full ifs rig would crawl?

This is a great looking rig. I'm piecing together all the parts I need for an ifs build and wondering about wheels and hubs. This is my first venture into anything of this sort.

Are those 2.2 wheels? Do they fit the same hubs front and rear? Until all my parts show up to get a look at them I'm kinda stuck. How do you find the 2 speed transmission? Is there a big difference in the ratio's? Good for crawling and bashing?

Thanks.

I was thinking of building something like this with my mini summit, lock the diffs, crawler type tires, etc.

Sorry I just saw that this was posted in the 2.2 section, I found it by searching ifs. Excuse my noob error!
