    Team Associate B5M. Since the motor is in front of the shock tower the body covers the whole motor so its longer.

    Actually I think Kyosho & yokomo (maybe) had mid motor cars in the late 80's early 90's I think. I don't recall if they were 2 or 4 wheel drive.

    I feel like it's part of a Wraith agreement that you have to sign when you buy it, that says you must continually buy and sell Wraith's every 6 months lol. just about everyone i know who is into them is constantly buying, building, and then selling or trading them, with very little time to actually run it.

    Yep I got one... Do you want both the cage and "diamond plate" with the fuel tank and spare tire carrier or? And do you need it to fit a wraith or a honco? Cage won't fit a wraith but the plastic portion can be cut and id cut it for you if you wanted...

    Will also need to be cut to get the shocks to not interfere with the bed
