    I'll have to look and see if people are using those successfully in backslash conversions. Have to make sure there are no fitment issues. And I have to make sure they look as badass as the bulldog of course :p

    Did some reworking on the wraith..

    Moved the battery tray under the hood. Relocated the reciever box about a 1/2 inch forward to clear the battery using a piece of lexan that I trimmed off the roof.

    [​IMG]

    Moved the esc to the rear under the interior and mounted the on/off switch on my lexan panel.

    [​IMG]

    Also finished my cage mod using axial links and rod ends.

    Poser pic because I can haha

    They're pretty focused on the IFMAR 1/10 Electric Worlds right now so that the only race they have really asked me to go to. They also want me to go to the ROAR Nats because its at the same track in August.

    My ears must have been ringing. Been a long time since I've checked this thread.

    Wraith has been sitting since I posted the pics for the most part. Work has a hold of me pretty tight at the moment. :(
