So I got this off of Craigslist rtr for 200..lol
Let just say I ran it for 5 minutes and tore it apart.
Trying to do something new with it. Already cut the back roof off and made links for it.
Need to paint the body panels,but waiting on the hood and rear deck.
Also going to let my 8 year old daughter pick the color.
Mostly going to use it around our large farm property (not a farm anymore). Lots of land and rocks to play on. This summer is when it's going to be bashed though.
Here is a list of things already added and another that needs to be ordered.

Custom made Black Delrin upper/lower links
No slop lockers (from Germany!!!!)
Proline shocks (need to order the spring set) 20wt
New set of r35 Rip Saws
Waterproof BR-XL
CC BEC
Handwound 35t motor
Hitec 7955
32p 60 spur/15t
Axial Universals
AX10 no dig MIP's
Carter Fab wrap around body panel and roof
Wild Willy figure (needs painting)
Dinky hood and rear tray

looks good man. And that cage mod too. This is one of the few (and I mean very few) Wraiths that I like with the cage mod. You ever decide you're done with Willy let me know. I'd like to have one.
