AXIAL WRAITH FASTBACK STRUTS AND RADIATOR | ANOTHER CHOP TO THE WRAITH

[@johnsprinkles7369]

Who makes this kit?

[@scotty555babe]

I ordered it from shapeways, I can't remember the company name but if you search wraith Fastback shapeways I'm sure it'll bring it up 👍

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You're absolutely right Mate... That looks BADASS!! 👊😎 I've done the Fastback Mod, like half a million others, buut I want to be more unique as well. That's a clever Upgrade, that looks good and is functional as well. With that centre hole in that new bit, it appears that I COULD use that as a Spare Tyre Mount! I've already got a Scale looking Radiator from an Axial EXO - even with Hoses running from the Radiator to under the floor, heading to the front. Yeah, it really looks like you found the right bit of Kit for the back!! Although, NOW your rear is even LIGHTER than before, isn't it? At any rate, it's a Damn sight better looking than before. Then, that's WHY we do these things!! Carmine 💥 ⛽

Thank you, I wanted something different to the usual wraith and I actually love the look, I have some cvds, chubs knuckles and rear lockouts from Gpm to fit also, the only thing I spent decent money on was the tyres and shocks, but I don't believe that's an area you can really go cheap with when building a crawler, I have all aluminium panels on my other wraith, just sticking with plastic on this to keep all the weight down 👌

Right, unfortunately there's no Cheap substitute for Tires on a Crawler. Though many try!! 😱😜 I do really like what you've done. Standing out with a Wraith, is really not easy!! Mine's still not done - but then are they EVER!!?? One thing I can tell you from several years of experience - and failures. The Universal Joint Front Shafts that come standard on Wraith Spawn and Poison Spyder, are STRONGER, and have better Steering angle than ANY others out there, except maybe Vanquish. And they cost no more than GPM or Hot Racing!! My Wraith is anything but LIGHT!! 😱 This thing weighs in at just under 14lbs!! The bargain I got on a Brushless Motor/ESC gives me no worries when I point her uphill... Then again, I believe that this went together with more with more LUCK than skills!!! 😜 It just all seems to work. The extra weight plus Shocks that AREN'T stiff (huge N00B mistake), means that almost all the time, all 4 wheels are on the ground, pulling. Like yourself, I'm not swimming in Cash, like many in the Hobby seem to be. Guys like us do what we can, and frankly, I like ours better!! It's NOT hard to just write a check for $1000. It IS hard to do this on a shoestring. Carmine 💥 ⛽

I took the leap and chopped my Wraith, waiting for my fast back to arrive. I'm then tempted to chop the back end as well.

[@scotty555babe]

It's a more unique look.. This was going to become a rock crawler now it's a brushless Savage beast lol

[@RCVHX22]

Freaking Awesome video!! Thank you for sharing it with us. Big thumbs up!✌ツ👍

[@andyp6699]

Nice move with rear end Scotty. Add figure then go for some rock bouncing. It's totally different from usual crawling or trailing. Andy from Barnsley.

[@YYCRCFabricationz]

I'm a bit nervous about ya'll having very little support for your shocks on rough bounces & such. But it looks wicked, nice conversion & an excellent instructional video as well...great job Brother!!

[@davidhazelden2054]

[@kygunfulkerson6289]

If I can somehow hook up with you I want you to create my dad's old semi truck and an RC car

[@scotty555babe]

I don't build for others 👍
