DrDiff'952s Weekend Warrior Wraith

[DrDiff952]

Got my transmission today. Take out of a RTR. Great shape! Motor mount plate Will be her in 24-48

It is out of a SCX-10 and it doesn't have the extended mechanism for a DIG. I believe that Harley does the same thing with his rigs. My motor plate should be here tomorrow or Friday.

SCX-10 Axles ordered. They will be here in 4-5 days

Major problems almost killed the build. Legality of this truck. It is illegal for 2.2 class but legal for 1.9 class. OK.

 

[djjiz]

Rules sure do have a way of bringing a guy down.

Pretty sure you'll like the 1.9 class. Our local club has a good turn out.

 

[allanon1965]

well this year we will run the 1.9's and maybe next year they will let us run them with 2.2's

 

[DrDiff952]

I just hope we get your Project 626 Legal. Of you order another DMG Stiffy, make it a Long Back.!

 

[allanon1965]

it sounds as if I can put 1.9's on it and run the 1.9 weekend warrior class or run 2.2's and run the overkill class..of course time bandit will be in the overkill class. I was thinking it would be cool if they had a couple wraith only classes..we will have to see...I dont know how many wraiths actually run at these events..

 

[DrDiff952]

Thinking about these 1.9 rims for the weekend Warrior Wraith...

 

[allanon1965]

those look nice! I am getting ready to buy another set from the scale addict for my scx10 rubicon...that way all 3 of my rigs have aluminum beadlocks..but i am hoping I can get them with black rings and black centercaps

The Weekend Warrior Wraith got some stuff today. What else do you do with the stuff you pull off when upgrading a Wraith? BUILD A NEW ONE!

Stock Axial Slipper Clutch assembly and the gears from the O.P.A.T. Wraith. The Traxxas motor will come over as well.
The stock Axial motor plate will be brought over to the WWW tomorrow. Eventually these will be upgraded to match what is in the O.P.A.T. Wraith.

SCX-10 axles will be here early next week, And I have borrowed a servo to mock up the WWW.
The goal is to Eventually have Short ProLine Big Bore Power Stroke Shocks on it from the Traxxas Slash, for now it will do with Axial kit shocks.

I have the AE-2 ESC that has been fully converted to Dean's Ultras and will eventually get another Castle Creations BEC and Savöx 1231SG servo.

I want to try making my own seats Axial seats may be pretty but are too heavy. I have a source for some sheet metal.

Tire wise I want to get a set of ProLine Super Swamper TSL XL in the G6/soft compound. I am leaning to the same closed cell Crawler Innovations foams that are in the O.P.A.T.

I'm thinking about adding the AX80121 and AX80122 flares to my Pro-Line Jeep Wrangler Rubicon body...

 

[DrDiff952]

Ordered a battery pack. Another 3S 40c LiPo battery pack.

 

[DrDiff952]

Transmission in. Shocks mocked up.

 

[allanon1965]

looking better and better...I predict this will be running by next week!

 

[DrDiff952]

I feel like a kid at Christmas. SCX-10 axles and another battery came in today.

 

[DrDiff952]

First Mock up SCX-10 axles under Wraith.

 

[DrDiff952]

Second mock up. Chassis sitting on the axles.

The rear link length, has been determined but the front links are going to be shorter than the collection of SCX-10 links that I have.

I think I am going to get some 6-32 rod, revo ball ends and some brake line and build my own.

Found a helpful video. 8/32 not 6/32 all thread...

I got some steel plate and am going to attempt to make some light weight seats for my two rigs.
