A Wraith Runs Through It...

[Correll]

I live in Missoula Montana so my title is a joke. HaHa. My wraith started out as a used AX10 from the LHS. Then I mobbed it around with my coworker, known as "Maslin" on here. So, my addiction to R/C again in life is his fault so blame him.

Drove AX10 around 2 years, broke parts, and wanted a different truck, having spent a pile on my AX10 and not wanting to fund too many R/C's, I ordered a used chassis off RC recycler and swapped all my stuff over.

I ran the wraith as low as I could get it and used MIP's "Exclusive" length rear shaft and did not need to run a wraith transmission or grind the center skid plate at all. I also have MIP extended 12mm length outputs at all ends.

I will update with pics and tech as I can. It is not scale, and I am mean to it similar to Maslin. With my breakage percentage lower than his tho...

Bright ass yellow for the Jeep body

I originally wanted a bomber chassis, then I realized Im not cool enough to own a bomber. But, I did qualify for an "amazon warehouse" deal used JEEP JK body. So thats good enough I suppose.

Yellow looks ok. Probably wont use many of the stickers.

Just Yellow Banana Monster, 5000 is way too much.

Nice ride!

Thanks! Ill try to add action pics once our 2ft of snow melts in town:mrgreen:
Everbody wants a nice big winter, well we get one and now everybody wants it to go away.

Haven't seen maslin posting around here lately, figured you guys were snowed in

Some traxxas battery hold down style pins are at my house today. Im gonna mount the body with the pins on the side and just have 1 removable body section to make it faster and easier to work on/take battery out. Cant wait for spring... snow wheeling is cool, but crawling/bashing is better.

Not traditional Wraith mounting style but oh well...
Mandatory pic. Yellow Banana Monster is ready for a beating soon!

Very much snowed in, we made it out the other day for a few minutes. If it would warm up 30 or 40 degrees for a day or two we can pack down a little snow track 8)

Looks good OP. Is that the Proline body for the wraith?

It is the proline Body. Amazon warehouse deals has a few for around 20$ if your interested they may still be there. Full price was 43$ And thanks!

MASSIVE Tech brought to the table at lunch today, traxxas pins holding my sweet Wrangler JK body on. Your welcome!

The yellow, Damn. Like a lemony banana waiting to get scratched on the rock pile.

Looks great.
As the weather warms up I will be much more inclined to go crawling... Lol.

Ill be game to go out sometime. Get ahold of me ahead of time on here! I have this wraith and am getting very close to ordering a TF2. Hopefully the mods dont delete this non tech related post! :lmao:

Nice Rig , but I'm even more impressed with the clean clutter free shop. Wish our Techs kept our service department that clean.

Thanks for noticing. I keep my work area clean all the time. Only way for me to operate!:mrgreen:

Thanks for the heads up on the lids. I was gonna buy more than one but hate it when someone tells the members of a great deal and someone goes and practically buys them all out, lol.

One of my last purchases added to the pile. This should work until I find one in a hard body.

No problem glad to help out8). I thought they were a good deal. Strong too

I bought that jeep body a while back and it sucks that u gotta hack the grill to make it work I don't even use the body. Jeep grills are a trademark.

This is the front yard at my house. And we are on winter warning for 4-8" more snow by Wednesday. Never going to crawl dirt/rocks again...:shock: And my first You Yube video ever, haha. Yeah, Im a dork whatever and I don't have Facebook either or snap chat.
