After selling my 4 door trailfinder I've always wanted a wraith so I used some of the money to buy a kit

I'm gonna build it up mostly stock front the start but that want stay for long

My plan is to cut up a Toyota body and make fit the wraith which is gonna look cool


Got the kit in just a few mins ago and can't wait to dig in tonight

After night one I gave a rolling chassis the shocks are just for mock up they are to short

Tonight IMA work on drive shafts and shocks and mounting up some tires on the beadlocks I have

Should be a sick build...watching. BTW which shop do you buy from?
 
Hobby town cuz its close to my work and one of my trailing buddy's work there
 
well its been a long time since i been around the rc forums but i havent been out of rcs

with the brushless motor in it i messed up the plastic wheels i had and my wraith sat for a few months
couple deals later and i had new wheels and tire

fast forward a few months and i sold my little red jeep to my friend so he could finish cuz i was tired of it
so i threw my brushed motor and stuff in the wraith

here are a few pictures i took along the way and some from its first trip to the trails

new wheels and tires

I'd tend to agree rollinlow. Been selling off more and more rigs, but I love my Wraith. It's just such a versatile platform, you can literally make it almost anything you want it to be; crawler, hill climb rig, FOFF rig, basher, scaler, etc.
 
thanks guys wraith are awesome because you can do so much with i think

its pretty much all I'm really gonna do to it unless stuff breaks gonna focus on my 1.9 scalers for a bit
