I HIGHLY doubt it. The current design works well for most people. Why spend money on a new mold then? It MIGHT be something that VP or RC4WD would do but it would also mean new link mounts which aren't a huge deal.

I'll be ready someday...

TIG the shock mounts on, no more bolts, problem solved.

Another chassis to die for from the DMG! Jerry is a true artist. "thumbsup"
IMO, this is what the Wraiths need, some personality and individuality! Can't wait to see it finished.

You are probably right. But they say that a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link ;-)

There is a bigger issue there. If the entire shaft was that SMALLER diameter they would actually hold up better.

Re: Harley's Wraith - New DMG Chassis Pics
I believe that the stock shafts, both the dogbone and ones with U-joints are of the "smaller" diameter. I am not here to argue, but rather to ask questions and to learn :mrgreen:
The reason for my comment is you are a recognized authority on the Wraith and I have been reading your thread and looking at all of the links that you have provided "thumbsup" for the parts that you will be using. The picture that I put up was from one of those links. I figured there must be a good reason for you to upgrade the axles.

Yeah I just don't see a huge need for beefier axles. There is a small amount of people that could use them though.
I think for those people they just needs shafts in a higher quality material. Beefier stubs would help. I think we'll see that sooner then later.

Can this thing even be called a Wraith anymore? FrankenWraith?

Re: Harley's Wraith - New DMG Chassis Pics
The weather was SO nice today I loaded up my Wraith onto my scooter and rode the 3+ miles over to a local spot that is known as Sheep Hills by the BMX and vert crowd. There are lots of runs, berms and what seemed like hundreds of well maintained jumps, some of them taller than I am and nearly 90 degrees. It is used by many of the same Pro guys we see at the X-Games and comps like the Dew Tour.
Unfortunatly I lost a pin on the rear MIP drivshaft shortly after I got there so I only had front wheel drive and did not want to brake anything else so I did not play much. I will be ordering a set of those Traxxas drive shaft pins now ;-) that are linked in your first post.
This place would be PERFECT for an Axial EXO :twisted:
On closer inspection it looks like I will be needing a re-build kit, I lost the pin and the barel and set screw that holds the pin in place.

Wouldb't they be the same idea as XR10 rear axles? http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-wraith/338162-feeler-seld-m-bend-wraith-rear-axles.html

Happy Friday!
Jerry got the lower half of the rear end on. The C pillar will come after everything is sorted out.
We also decided to add just a bit of a V to the rear bars to add just a hair more clearance for the spare tire.
Also a battery tray has been added up front.

Re: Harley's Wraith - New DMG Chassis Pics
The wheels and tires are stock RTR stuff that we are using for mock-up. The chassis is similar in size to the stock chassis to help keep the scale proportions.
Oh and this is the 2nd longest thread in here, I just checked. The longest is the one talking about the release of the truck.

Re: Harley's Wraith - New DMG Chassis Pics
VEry popular indeed!! I che RCC twice daily hoping you have updates. Looks like to me the front end is tucked back slightly for a more scalelike appearance. Is hood area also shorter?
Chassis is awesome. My cousin that lives in K.C. is a welding foreman so I'm sure he would drool over Jerry's work.
