Wraith JK Build

[Warlord_Coleman]

This is awesome! Exactly what I'm slowly working on except you're doing way more detailed work than me.

What fenders are those though and how hard were they to mount?

The fenders are from a SCX10 JK. They come with a plastic piece that screws onto the fender; I used a plasti-weld brush on glue for styrene to get them in place then went around the edges with an expanding glue to make it more rigid.

It really wasnt hard to mount them at all. It also prevented me from drilling more holes in the body which is a good thing.

Starting the thread back up again. Been busy with other things the past couple months and just broke my leg mountain biking, but fortunately now I have plenty of time to post stuff.

Even though I haven't been posting there has been some MUCH NEEDED progress on The Pale JK.

Here is what I got lined up for the pan-hard set up. No binding and hopefully no bump steer still need to make a steering link once I get the servo I want.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Some more of how the CMS is set up and the three link. The CMS is going to be just a standard sized servo. I think I'm going to go with a Savox SA-1231SG. I still need to get links made to replace the stock plastic Wraith links. I'll have the front links shortened a little bit as well.

I also had to change the transmission on this build. The stock Wraith tranny was too tall to fit under the interior of the Jeep. I went with the RC4WD, R2 Black Crawler Transmission V2.

Had to go with a longer driveshaft in the rear as well. Went with the standard SCX10 MIP kit and got the dogbone for a Traxxas Summit, gonna be a perfect fit.

worked on filling the big hole in the trunk area of the interior. Got a big box but I don't know what to make it into. Maybe put some faux drawers or something???? Help me out! what should I make the box into??

Great looking build. The frame work is sweet.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Any idea on what I should build the trunk box into???

 

[twissted]

Military crate.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Finally got to throw some paint down on the frame yesterday.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Also used some styrene to make a box to hide the electronics and get more of that scale look.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Decided to make the trunk box into a storage container with drawers.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Finished! Just a few finishing details and I need to take it out for a maiden run and see if there are any mechanical issues.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Interior. Also got halos installed in the headlights.

 

[Warlord_Coleman]

Heres a few shots from the maiden run yesterday. Need to do a couple of adjustments and The Pale JK is solid

Dig that hue. Looks like a Tamiya JN grey.

Man that turned out great! Glad the frame rails
worked out!

Looks great dude. I am also a fan of the paint color.

Have you noticed any adverse affects from the forward angle of the rear shocks?
