    I started stripping the electronics off of my Bomber to trade for the Exo Terra. The Exo doesn't have the original cage, which I've read was a PITA for swapping batteries, but has a nicely mounted Wraith body. I have an extra Wraith skid and may move it over to that and build another Wraith. Then find a suitable body for the Exo...preferably a SCT.

    I am curious to know how the wraith cage is mounted to the exo chassis. It seems like a great idea. Please post up a pic.

    What you say is true, getting into the guts of the Exo Buggy is a hassle. Getting into battery compartment is also a pain.

    I wish he had a website to view products. I need to see what else he has I may want. But I think I'll have to resort to forum threads for that

    I hear ya. I have occasionally come across stuff of his I previously had no awareness of. It seems all of his pieces are exceptionally well designed.

    I really like the IFS conversion kit he put together for the Bomber.

    Yes I do like the ifs kit a lot. If I ever decide to do a second car it will be a bomber with that kit. Hopefully I'll get out this spring and do some RC with him and other locals.

    These things are highly addictive. I picked up a cheap china buggy to screw around with and a few months later I have all of these

    That looks like such a cool little truck. I wouldn't mind getting one. I have the Mini ERevo VXl and like it a lot. I think I'd like the mini Yeti as well.
