*Eyes flutter open slowly* *yawwnn* Hey guys I have been hibernating from yall along with my RCs, havnt been interested at all in it and almost boxed it all up... BUT, I worked up the strength and got everything put together on the old Wraith, figured it had been awhile n some since the last...
Thanks Randy, I actually spoke too soon when I saod it was as easy as pie, because shortly after eating my pie I walked into a what youd call a cluster f**k, and no thats not chocolatey and delicious oh no! Its a bar with clusters of f**k and its not enjoyable whatsoever.... I just barely got...
Well I bolted the excessive length setup to get another measurment and a grasp of how much I have to pull the axle in,.... Wooowwww 13" WB=1.5" In, thats a pretty big adjusment IMO... When people trade things like this and they say the links are pre cut and ready to bolt right under your rig...
Well after an hour talking to Nitrobuzzard while he tutored my bad math skills, helped me in figuring out how much I needed to cut off of the upper and lower links to get the desired 11.5" WB I want to achieve. I am currently finishing up my measurments then I will covert, calculate, mark and...
Total dead in the water with the front axle install..... Installed the shortest rod ends I have with my Axial leftovers and its still about an inch too far forward so now I am at the drawing board with nothing except stick figures holding machine guns on it....
Any ideas to shortening my...
Alright guys I started on the 1.9 scx spec conversion tonight and am half way done! Got the rear bolted up and the suspension switched over to a firm EEM droop spring and a basic tire setup until Pitbull releases their new 1.9 Growler tire in April sometime, got to keep absolute BEST tire...
Yeah I was tossed on it for a LONG time also but when he said he would trade straight across I couldnt refuse!
I also referred the owner of Madskinz RC to join RCNT and promote his products. They are very popular on RCC and have only ever heard good things on their products.
Well I'm going to do it, I am going to convert this badboy to a scx10 spec 1.9 scaler. Traded my AR60 axles with the owner of Madskonz RC for scx10 axles and proper length bent alloy links. I may be the first RCNT member to do this :-O!
can't wait!!
Anyone have any info on building either a EXO IFS Wraith or a scaled down Wraith to SCX10 specs w/ axles & 1.9s?
Really interested in reading up and maybe converting.
Thanks HPI that means alot to me indead. I drive this rig so differant its weird. All the love, emotional pride its superb! And really put alot of efforts to impressing you guys with my tube videos. RCNT is the only reason I make videos!
...... Dangit Jack N.07 your speaking again...
Yeah thats the rumor with Axial, unless the mills are like the trx mills, some luck out with them.
Tell your nephew thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

Haha it looks delapidated indeed BUT, with the lead paper weight NiMH pack up front, the wheels being vented and the foams being too small for the tires it looks like it right?
I love how a camera can make these RCs look so 1:1 and scale.
