    X2 The front axle is pushed way too far out compared to the wheel openings. Makes it all look very out of place.You would be better off with a flatfender cut and loose the arch.

    I doesn't really matter what people think. If u like the way it looks then rock it. Im just addicted to scale. But thqts anything scale not just crawlers or trail trucks.

    People with 1:1s push their front wheels out for better approach angle. No not quite as far as on the wraith but still to where the fender doesn't line up perfect

    You are using a leaf sprung truck as an example? Thats physicaly impossible to ever move a leafed trucks axle that far.The toy you pictured most likely has the springs that move it ahead 2-4" and is not even noticable by most. Pushing it a few feet out would look very strange on a real truck as does yourWraith. Linked trucks move them out a little more but still the axle doesnt usualy go past the front of the truck when its a bodied vehicle. Even southern buggies dont have the axle that far ahead of the frame. Looks more like a mud drag truck the way it is. Like I said earlier though if you flatfender it you loose the wheel arch area and it doesnt look so out of place. The one pictured looks pretty decent by Mr. Noob
