Project " Old Skool" 73' Bronco Wraith

[cazper51]

Hi all. I know this is my first post but I have been lurking while I got things fixed with my account.

Just a little story here before pictures. I have been in the Hot wheels custom world for over 10 years from building from the ground up and to full custom airbrush paint jobs. I love to make anything my own that I can. I have been in to RC's for as long as I can remember also. I always had on roads and off roads but always felt crawlers were not my thing......... Boy was I wrong.

I just recently picked up this Wraith used. No eletronics and in pretty bad shape (sorry never took any pics). I started looking on google at what people were building and thought "dam if I can do 1/64th stuff I should try playing with this Wraith". Well a few months later and this is where I am at.

* On a side note some of the work you guys do here is is just killer! Keep it up for sure.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts and ask anything you like. Cheers.

Just after I got it. I pulled lots of fender crap off and relocated the battery and hinged the hood.

And how she sits right now. I still need to do the interior and do my rusting on the body but it is getting there.

Parts used so far:
Front and rear trays from a guy in Spain
Gmade 103mm shocks
RC4WD front steering link
RC4WD front and rear Poison Spider diff covers
Axial AX10 front and rear Light Bars
Custom cut and painted proline 73' Bronco body (the one not for the wraith)
5MM offsets on the wheels
Axial ESC and 27turn motor for now
Hitec waterproof servo

And thats all I can think of for now. Cheers and thanks"thumbsup"

Thanks. To glue it back I krazy glued the piece I cut out to the inside and then I used JB weld to fill in all the gaps on the outside and sanded the body lines to match.
