Syphon's Wraith

[syphon68]

Well I have had this thing for 3 mos now and It has got through many version so I thought it was time to share some pics with you guys

Mamba Max esc
Integy 35 t 18/86
2s 5000 mah
Vanq steering
Axial universals
STR chubs / knuckles
STR links front/rear
castle BEC
Savox SC-1256TG 277 oz
TSL super swampers
Axial beadlocks

2 days old and I waterproofed it and put the vanquish steering on, also had to paint it so it didn't look stock

Another few weeks went by and I made some panels out of .025 Al, installed the STR parts, tires wheels, and was still hating the narrow turning radius.

and shot a little video

[/COLOR]Time for a total teardown replace seized bearings twisted shafts and install axles.

Servo and shafts installed

Inspired by some steering links I had from an LST2 I have an idea....

That was quick

Now onto a new roof same Aluminum that I made the side panels out of.

I also moved the battery to the front and the electronics into a project box in the rear.

Got a 3s 5400 in there now and stuffed the drive shafts with some Axial links I cut down. The 35T Integy V11
cooks pretty good I never ran the stock motor took it out immediately and put this one in 3 mos ago so for $36.00 it has been a good option.
last weekend I ran it through the creek and then the Mud all I did was take the hose to the whole truck and it blew it out with air.

Old aluminum Panels

New Shiny Bling - Thinking about sanding more and then clear coat.

Now if I could only make a hood out of the same .025 Aluminum.

Looking good man, glad to see I'm not the only one with a wraith lol

 

[syphon68]

Pics from our MX track too muddy to ride so I broke out the Wraith for a beating. These are not Rolex friendly

 

[Phins Fan]

I really like your "bed" cover for behind the seats. I may rob that idea from you. LOVE the mud shots too!!:whhooo:

 

[syphon68]

Thanks and go right ahead I am pretty sure I got the inspiration from someone at RCC

I like that flat black and orange color, looks awesome. Looks like it flakes off easily though?

 

[syphon68]

yeah unforfortunately with the Team Krylon aproach to the panels it doesn't take much beating to make it flake but I also didn't do much prep such as primer. Next week is 4WS so we will see how that goes, I have the DX3S that I can use just have to wait for my VP linkage, STRC knuckles, C-hubs, and Axial U-joints
