    This is a Axial Wraith Spawn. It has AR60 axles, 2.2" Method beadlock wheels, water proofed everything and quite a bit more.

    Since I bought this new, I have done the following...
    New Axial brand metal steering arms
    New Axle brand hex hub conversion
    Spektrum S6230 high torque metal servo
    New Axial brand servo horn
    Tons of new Axial brand parts in the bags still
    All aluminum body panel kit
    Original Wraith spawn body comes with it
    Custom 1st gen Toyota pickup body made to look like a truggy
    Dynamite Prophet mini charger
    Reaction2 5000 mAh battery
    Multiple random parts trees

    I built this with the intent to keep it but don't have the time or interest anymore. I have only had this for just over a year, but it has probably a total of 5 hours of use.

    I have around $750 total invested.
    I'm asking $600.

    Also would be interested in trading for parts. Roof rack, bumper (front or rear) scooped 3rd gen tacoma hood (any color)or??

    Located in Eugene Oregon.

    Those have the highest fun/budget ratio of any RC vehicles. Between myself and a couple friends we've got all the models. They're super cheap and fun to upgrade. You guys will have a blast.

    We have a bunch of rocks around the driveway that make for some cool challenges.

    Got my UDR to my liking. Detailed the back half and found someone who makes tiny king decals for shocks and resevoirs. On my 4th esc and 3rd motor. But upgraded front and rear sway bars and its almost impossible to flip over now. I keep burning up escs' because I treat it like a drift truck on the pavement.

    I know the beadlocks look like shit, they were all tore up. My actuall wheels are much better looking.

    New wheels/tires. Trying to keep mods to a minimum, but the weight is definitely helping lower the CG. Have a servo on the way, the oe one is struggling.

    My RC Minime took about 8mo during Covid lockdowns. Otherwise it may not be done. It's a lot of work. :hattip:

    Carothers Custom Prints (the guys that do Flubber Stuffers) for the Trekker body.

    Damn I was just looking at those bodies. Do you have any pictures of the mounting?

    I did an rc supremacy hilux and it’s ok, scale is a touch small.

    That last pic above.
    You can see the 2 magnet at the rear and one there on the bottom side behind the front tire.
    Magnets on the body too.
    They are nice, i used a different type on the c10 setup, we have alot of iron in the soil around here and they do attract it.

    1/20 scale static model bodies are fairly close. Likely would need new links to adjust wheelbase.
