jeeper_05's Build..Proto VP Brakes, Holmes RevolverS Outrunner and Freq Int, Skinz

[jeeper_05]

Well, the time has come to show my Wraith build, not really a build since it is built, but it is constantly evolving...

Only thing that annoys me about this car is that it is all off the shelf parts, not what I am used to...

This car has been evolving since the first time Corey put up the Wraith axles on the salvage yard of RPP. I was the first to get a set of partout axles from an RTR, and that started the bug. Scored the chassis on the super cheap brand new in peices on here for $40 bucks if I recall right. That was chassis, interior, seats and panels!!!


Parts List (I am sure I will forget something)

VP SSZ Stars
Axial R35 RipSaws

Enough of the tech...EVERYONE WANTS PICS! I tell you what, these VP Brakes are AMAZING!!!!!!

Front Calipers...

Rear Calipers

Discs!...Of course in the VP Hub bolt pattern....

Mmmmm...

The long rods make the calipers adjust in and out to the disc depending on what offset hubs you are running...

Does anything need to be said?

Super simple mounting, works on VP Wraith Knuckles...

Kachow!

Rear mounting...

Now that we have the brakes in the spotlight, heres the Wraith that is now sporting all of the awesome VP gorgeousness...

Gotta represent....

Creationfab.com or holmeshobbies carries them too...

That wiring is temporary, once I put the new electronics in, they'll go on the C.I. plate amd be all hidden.

I really like it, looks awesome.

Thanks "thumbsup"

Is drag link and tie rod in the wrong positition with your panhard link? If you do it that way isn't the two links panhard link and tie rod) thrown out of geometry?

I like the extra clearance fot the tie rod, and everything cycles smoothly without any bump steer. The Drag and panhard are near parallel as it is setup..."thumbsup"
