My wraith build

[12vctd]

Started as a wraith kit I purchased a few days ago. To have something to do while my full size rig is getting a total rebuild.
As well as a Futaba FPLS, CC mamba max pro, a few brushed motors, a Tekin Pro4 3300kv, Hi-Tech 7955TG, CC BEC,and ordered a bombproof trans from super shafty.

Kit went together really well

First day out with kit was really nice only carnage was some hexes spinning in the wheels and the drag link screw pulled out of tie rod.

My bomb proof trans came in today. I need to order the 6mm shaft for it later

Have ordered the following parts some last night and the rest today

Proline powerstroke rear slash shocks
5mm shock stand offs from Crawler innovations
2.2 Pitbull rock beast tires
6.0 double deuce foams from Crawler Innovations
Alum clamp on servo horn
Currie axles
VP stage one kit (knuckles, chubs, lockouts)
HotRacing lockers
Axial universal axles ( will upgrade with VVDs later)
MIP C-Drive CVD driveshafts bought the ones for the 5mm will replace with 6mm later
VP link mounts
VP SLW hex hubs .475
HotRacing SLW beadlocks
Axial HD bevel gears for front
Axial 43//13T gears for rear
VP TI link kit
VP tie rod and draglink

I need to find some bushings for pinions and get some bearings. Hopefully these drive shafts and main shaft will hold up till I can upgrade.

Killer order there. The bushings are really easy to fund and cheap. Its under $5 for 14 bushings. I just bought some last week.

Thank you I tried finding them from the vendors I ordered my parts from RPP,CKRC. But honestly it was a after thought I know tower has them. I'm going to check my LHS tomorrow for them. I want to read more on chassis builds I see a lot of really nice stuff, I also need to relocate my ESC up front and my BEC after I read more on the waterproofing of these things.
I've spent over 2k so far so I need to cool my jets alittle the spousal unit might make me sleep on the couch but I keep telling her this is way cheaper than my full size tube buggy. I really enjoy looking at the craftsmanship people are doing to keep these scale and very realistic. I need to practice to get similar results. Thanks to everyone for the wealth of information.

All my parts shipped today I'm hoping to also get a stiffy kit as well as a bumper from DMG.

Thanks a ton DMG. I look forward to receiving it.
I have to send my shocks back they sent rears instead of fronts, and need to find some fasteners for my SLWs to attach to VP .475 hubs the screws that came with my rims don't fit the VP hubs.

Would love to see your 1:1 after I read this thread.

Betts spring out of CA wound my coils the shocks are hydraulic cylinders I made.

So the suspension can be adjusted when needed for ride height and angles, but when in free float it acts as a regular coil over.

I'm tearing it all apart thou and going back to a smaller tube and cab combination much narrower and lighter. The pig was 5200lbs and I hope to come under 3200 with my next chassis.

Your wraith sucks now
