Hello all,
Long time reader, first time poster..
Many eons ago I was big into custom RCs...Drift cars, FPV drones and crawlers which I planned to evolve into a,somewhat scaler. Axial wraith with all VP axle hardware, custom SS tube chassis(nearly identical to stock plastic), along with integy and,STRC, with MIP driveshafts. I HAD the HD axle internals but I thought I'd get some practice out of the stock internals in the,VP axles...
Did I mention I,had the brilliant idea to run dual TRAKPower MP 17.5T BLDC motors and a TRAKPower 75C 3S Brick.
Man the sound of the gears dieing a horrible death was just the worst thing. It couldn't have come at a worse time in my life. Sadly I had to put it on hold, nicely boxed up with my other RC odds,and ends(I displayed my working units). Well at some point over the following years my sociopathic **** ***** ***** ************ EX-fiance came across these things in a drug-fueled(I had no idea early on) rampage and what she did with a vast majority of the parts and works in progress is anyone's guess. I only recently discovered this about a 2months ago. Oddly enough, while the VP wraith axles are gone as are the 2.2 Alu beadlocks and Sedona tires, yet I discovered integy CNC AL,
SCX10 front and rear axles with full HD internal and AL external pieces installed aswell as a set of 1.9 alloy beadlock wheels and tires. Most of the upper parts are still there, several sets of suspension links, but 0 shocks, transmission, 1 MIP shaft and 1 integy shaft, I still have the custom tube chassis sans body panels, also not a single led or really any electronics, except 1 TRAKPower 17.5T and ESC a Tekin 35T FXR kit and a FLYSKY stick TX and RX.

SO with that being said. I want to build something, I think I've got everything for a Wraith 1.9 w SCX axles right? I've heard its much more scale looking. I realize ill need to do some custom work for this to work but I do have a goodn3D Printer aswell as some metal fab tools.
I've already done some 3d parts modeling and ive,decides,to go more scale this time.

Will this be,feasible? Should I give up?
I'll post pics when my mew camera is delivered and ill take some screenshots of my 3d modeled parts.

Advice/suggestions/comments/flames/death threats
Please!

I can't help much with the 1.9 wraith, though there are a few build threads of them on this forum I've come across.That motor you have, the trakpower, pain in the rear to find bearings for it, seems the reedy sonic mach 3 bearings fit, just ordered a set myself, will find out soon. Good luck with the build
