It looks like it could be pretty quick.

If there was any practicality to the design it would allow for front dig.

Seeing who is part of the design I imagine that its front wheel /rear free wheel with the dig is installed.

IMO even if it went to rear wheel drive there is to much crap to spin for that type of system to be any fun in and case.

It was quick. That was me driving it in those pics (professional driver on a closed course so kids don't try that at home), thanks again to Brandon for letting beat on the wraith for a bit. Such a fun rig to drive!

I got some good onboard and other video from yesterday that I will post up.

It figures, only you would completely disregard the scale culture and drive this rig in such a rediculous manor while beating on it.

I look forward to getting a Wraith. It will be my first off road rc, and I can't wait! What would be the first things to consider upgrading? Could I waterproof the rig, or do I need to get a new waterproof ESC?

One of the first things to look into upgrading is the steering servo it will not handle the abuse for long. Most of the electronics also, look it to lipo batteries they're very light weight.

Big Axial fan. The Wraith looks promising.
Just wanna sit back for a bit and see which direction some of you take it.

Basher?
Scaler?
Crawler?
Multi-purpose?

Not to mention, some durability testing...

i think the receiver box is sealed, but you would have to waterproof the esc and servo.

In the SCX10 section, it might be a sticky. BENDER did an amazing writeup on how to water proof a rig. Go look at it. Its a great read.

Only thing not stock were the wheels/tires and electronics. Brandon is running the R35 compound tires as well as the XR10 beadlocks. He is also running a Futaba 4PK radio and Mamba Max Pro ESC with a 4500T brushless motor. Not stock...

But the rest of the drivetrain and truck are pre-production stock. We are doing all our testing using brushless motors to ensure that they can handle the power.

My truck is running the new Castle SCT system with the 4 pole motor on 3S and we have also run the Novak Goat 3S system.

Yes, its so close I can smell it.
This is going to be a family rig.
Anyone can run it, and I think it will get my wife into crawling.
She likes the fast stuff and wounders why I like to go slow.
I just tell her I'm slow, so I need something slow
