With all the folks drooling over this and dying for it to come out, you would think there would be more crawlers listed on fleabay and such. I'm dying to see it hit the shelves also, but I'm not buying until I see it crawl. I've seen the speed vids and that's cool and all, but I want it as a crawler. I know the AX10 and Losi CC are more dedicated crawlers and would be a good choice, but I am wanting something that looks like the Wraith or Gmade R1 but can crawl better than your average scale rig.

Trust me, it can crawl! I was very impressed with it's capability....and in bone stock trim no less!

So for anyone who has had the luck of being able to test one, I saw medic load a 3 cell in there but in the manual it says only up to 7.4v so it seems it can handle the voltage but how long do you think it will last running a 3c?

lomdel · 05-31-2011, 03:30 AM

I don't know if it was mentioned earlier, but are there any indication if the Wraith will be released without radio gear or as bind-n-drive version sometime soon?

FinCrawler · 05-31-2011, 03:48 AM

So, any word on the official launch date?

I REALLY want my Wraith...

JonU · 05-31-2011, 06:17 AM

everything i've seen points to an early-mid June time.

Whiskey Throttle · 05-31-2011, 12:41 PM

My LHS told me that thier supplier was told they recieve them June 15th in the US. Then up to Canada for the 24th!

Take with a grain of salt! (and hope)

Cool video gives us a good look at the Wraith!

Hey Axial, I'm just curious what the diff ratio is stock. I saw that the OD/UD gears are optional so i'm assuming it has 13/38 stock?

The manual is available for download on their website. You can look for yourself there.

Unfortunately the firewall my unit has here in afghanistan blocks the Axial site. I also wouldn't be able to download the file if i could access their site. The only info i have about it other than what i've read here is what is posted on sites like Amain Hobbies.

Just thought it would be nice to see/post some actual driving footage. You don't need to watch them if it bothers you that much.

JonU: First off, thank you for serving our country. Second, the ratio is the same as the AX10, SCX10, and HD gear sets (13:43).

Tommy R · 06-02-2011, 02:13 PM

I realize that retailers are listing "mid-June" for a release date, but do any Axial folks have any more specifics to share with us?

docsrcrepair · 06-05-2011, 12:04 PM

You know I can see spare parts for this thing selling like hot cakes

JJR · 06-05-2011, 11:43 PM

I just spent my money on a SC8E today. No more Wraith

The good thing is my Honcho works great.

TURTLE · 06-06-2011, 12:01 AM

For all you guys canceling your pre orders... You Blew it!

This is the funnest, most durable crawl, r/c, anything I have ever had.

I have put almost 12 hours of driving into mine so far with very minimal damage, and 10 of those 12 hours have been beating the hell out of it.

It will be worth the wait.
