Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

[Harley]

I will be get this all installed as soon as I get home. This kit will change your front axle to a 3 link setup with panhard, you simply just remove one of your upper links. The axle mount is held in on in two ways. First it is clamped to the axle and then it also ties into you shock mount for rotational stability.

Pics ASAP.

Can't wait to see! And I just got my VP steering setup :roll:.. I guess can use it for rear steer if this setup works better. Any date for public availability?

It gets the servo off the axle which is a huge part of a scale build. The Wraith is meant to appear scale and this is one of things you need to achieve that.

The problem with the kit put out before by Level 3 is that it only moved the servo and didn't handle the problems it caused. Running a servo on the chassis without a panhard causes big suspension issues. This is the first full kit available.

Ok thanks but if it goes upper in the chassis, do you have to move radio box or not? Because I dont have room anymore in this area....receiver, ESC and lipo...no more room

This basically goes up in the area the servo travels up into now. So you should be fine.

will the vp tie-rod/drag link kit not work with the axle mounted servo kit? it seems like it would work together, no?

Very cool Josh, glad I've waited to get upper links, now the money can go towards cms!

Dibs on your extra upper link your not using now? :mrgreen:

I'm thinking the tie rod will work, but the drag link most likely will be different length.

 

[DiEzel]

Oh lord. lol. Make it stop.

 

[Harley]

can it be made to work for rear steer?

The servo mount won't as far as I know. We have talked about it but it wasn't nearly as big of a priority and I understand that. Plus class 3 trucks were allowed to run the rear servo on the axle.

The kit comes with new drag link and a panhard. These links are 3/16" compared to the 1/4" versions. This is for extra clearance. I will check to see if the lengths are the same.

Haha, good call :lol: Sure I'll have a spare for you.

Go dust off your wallet! You know you gotta have it!!

Sweet, thank you sir !!!

Here are a few shots of the setup.

You can see here that the panhard mount is separate from the servo mount.
