This is my first Bomber build built for U4 racing.

She utilizes an SS Bombproof Wraith trans with a Tekin 3000kv PRO4HD motor on 3s controlled by a HH BL ESC for her heart.

The axles are VP Curries and the wheels are VP Methods.

And yes, that is a full Wraith interior sitting inside that cage.

Here are the rest of the major parts;
-VP 8°Chubs
-VP Scale knuckles, self limiting
-MIP drivelines
-VP CV's
-JEC Racing SS trailing arms
-VP Ti upper links and lower links
-OneTooManyRC's Green roof lightbar
-OneTooManyRC's front bumper light bar
-MadDogRC's OHV KOH rear lighting system
-KBESS limiting straps

The radiator is complete with hoses and scale wiring to the faux fans.

The fuel cell has fuel lines and scale hardware as well as a fill hose.

The 5-point harnesses I made myself.

Extremely nice work - I particularly like the detailed upper rear side panels and the mesh inside the front stinger. Couldja post a close-up of the fuel cell/radiator area and a nice side view?

Driver figure is a great choice as well - Terminator, correct? great job getting a helmet on that guy!

Thank you Denis. Coming from you that means a lot. Your rigs always look sharp.

Threw on some paddles tonight to get some lighting pics in the snow.

Unfortunately the pic quality is not that great...

OneTooManyRC's green night vision roof bar and 2" front white bar along with MadDogRC's OHV KOH lights.

Finally got the numbers on tonight, decided to remake the number panels and bolt them on.

Also added my signature roof vinyl... I am awaiting a T-Bone Racing roof panel... I will be adding the same vinyl to it once it is here.

This thing is great looking man! You have to do Anything special other than using a wraith trans to get the interior to fit?

No not really. I did make a custom lexan cowl for over the Wraith dashboard to make it look like it was made for it.

The decision to use the Wraith trans was made before I even considered the interior.

I may have to try it as the stock interior just doesn't do it for me.
 
So does that mean the wraith tranny isn't necessary if you want to use the wraith interior?
