hey Jman. all you have to do is screw the servo arm into the middle hole where the stock spring mounts onto the frame. just don't tighten too tight to where the servo arm won't spin freely. same with the front. same middle hole mounting and especially with the front you won't be able to tighten down the servo arm very much or it won't rotate freely and it will bind up when articulating. just like I said in my video even with me showing you and telling you how to do it, it will take some trial and error on your part to get it set up correctly
No videos No videos that video is non existent at this point in time unfortunately. I didn't realize at the time it didn't upload successfully and have long lost that video on the phone a long time ago. You're not missing much from the first video anyways lol
I know this video is old, but I have a wraith 1.9 and I wanna do an early bronco body, obviously since the axles on the 1.9 are skinnier I’ll have to cut the fenders, but I was wondering how you got a body with an opening hood? since the 1.9s have the battery mount in the front and it has hood hinges it’d be nice to have a body with an opening hood.
I don't have this wraith anymore so I can't send you another video or pictures. However it's pretty simple. All you gotta do is cutout the hood from the body. Then use the plastic "c" clamps that cone in the extra parts tree if you still have it. Then those will clamp around the frame just below the window area. Then mark where those holes are Wren you put the hood in place where you want it in line with the screw holes of the plastic "c" clips/clamps. I wish I could explain it better but I'm pretty sure I'm one of the 2 videos I have uploaded of this rig I go into detail on how to do it. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. I'll answer them as best I can
Hey so I just checked. If you watch the video on my channel that's labeled as build walkthrough #3 in the beginning of the video I show you exactly how to do the hood mod!
sorry bud but I just recently sold my truck.....it went to a good home. but let me just say that it's very easy to do this mod and quick and if you don't like it then just take the servo arms back off. it'll take you maybe 5 mins to put on or take off
Matthew Haefs it's been so long I'm not sure. I've since sold the rig as well. But I will tell you that it's a chip guard type paint I bought at Walmart. Make sure you scuff the plastic of the body first. It will hold better
I never had a problem with it rolling and I put it through some serious tests to see what exactly it could handle. only thing I didn't like that much is the motion of the servo arm not having any suspension in it itself. so over bumps the body would move around. but not much. at least not enough to make me want to take off the servo arms. I suggest trying it out and see if it's something that your rig "likes"

Do you remember what shocks you used
can you post a video driving around and see how the suspension works on obstacles? I wanna do this mod but wanna see how it does on the trail
Where is part one?

Unsprung weight is not good
I have to ask..... But how do you figure that?? Lol
sweet thanks im gonna try it and hope I get it right thanks for the reply
Articulation...
how did u get the servo arms on there?
What are those axles and where can i purchase them
Those are the stock axial wraith axles that it came with. All I did was take them off the truck and disassemble then a little bit and painted them
Hi what kind of paint did you use. Like what brand and which one?
Matthew Haefs it's been so long I'm not sure. I've since sold the rig as well. But I will tell you that it's a chip guard type paint I bought at Walmart. Make sure you scuff the plastic of the body first. It will hold better
What type of shocks did you use
Would it roll easier on a side hill?
