Sorry folks, I'm longer offering this service.
I've had several people ask if I would be interested in converting their Wraiths to IFS KOH Ultra4 rigs like I built for myself. These rigs are MUCH better performers than a stock Wraith. The solid axle front of a regular Wraith just cannot keep up with one of these IFS buggies at speed. They soak up what's in front of them and do amazingly well on the rocks.
In other words. You better hope you're not competing against one at a G6. :lmao:
I built the first rig to be a "do everything" vehicle. It worked so well others here on the island decided they had to have one too.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, here are a few pics and videos as well as my build thread of my IFS Ultra4
http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-wraith/388684-jias-ifs-ultra4-build.html
All rigs in the videos are powered by a Tekin Pro4 3300kV on 2S.
Unlike a SA rig, the front tires keep a larger portion of the face of the tire in contact with the rocks. Young_version spent Sunday crawling with a locked rear axle and open front. He kept up with the rest of us. :ror:
Here's a video of his Pro4-powered rig destroying tires. He tore the sidewall of his Irok in a few places with this stunt. :mrgreen:

First test run of IFS #1. I wanted to see how the front end performed. See for yourself.

Here's the first 360 degree camera video I shot of the rig. This was before I spent time tuning the RX8's expo and drag brake.

Here's a video of the rig after a bit of RX8 tuning. I slowed this down to about 1/2 speed so you can see how the suspension behaves. This thing soaks up everything - even though I hadn't epoxied the cage together at this point. :lol:

I've converted three here on the island, will be doing #4 tomorrow, and have three more here on the island scheduled for conversion. Even the almighty Badger is in line for a conversion.
I can also make rear firewalls, electronics trays, and other misc stuff.
I know it's a lot to read, but I want to be as clear and up front as possible. Anyone that knows me (or has been around here for a while) knows I don't half-ass anything that I build.
