I am jumping on the wagon too. Pre Ordered mine this morning after seeing the axles. The customization will be almost endless for the KOH or TTC type rigs. I guess I'll be calling the DMG for some more custom tube work when it shows up Nice work axial, you've done it again. You have giving the crawling community a great platform to build from. And a great looking rtr for the people who want the convenience of RTR |

It's great to see a full press release about this rig. I love how the axles incorporate bearing caps, which makes me think that the axle housings are molded as 1 piece. If that's true then it will be a breeze to narrow these axles! I also really liked seeing the optional DIG parts, this will keep shaftys alive within the comp rigs since the new dig should adapt to the older AX-10 tranny. I personally only need the axles from the Wrath so I'll be waiting for individual parts to become available, hopefully they come out when the kit version is ready. Thanks Axial! |

Looks like Axial did a great job with the Wraith. Can't wait to see one in person!

Ah she is so beautiful! Im glad axial ditched their old style driveshafts in hopes this will hold up more than 5 mintues.

Pretty disgusted I didn't see it from Axial first, especially after all of the teasing. Hope they got a pretty penny from RCCA Should be a fun rig to throw the sidewinder 4600kv into. |

Looks like the front end runs dog bones - AX30419 AR60 OCP Front Dogbone Set (2pcs) Maybe we will see a universal upgrade like the XR10. They are super beefy and have great steering angle. |

| On the official Wraith page on Axial's website it list the current over/under drive gears as optional accessories for this rig, so I am guessing they will fit.

| http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/ax900...racer_rtr.html Check out the press release page and zoom in on the photos, these axles are getting cooler by the minute, Notice the hole to the right of the pumpkin, means you can flop it around to have the pumpkin on the right or left hand side. Plus of course all the hardware is basically the same, just with longer axle shafts. And it looks like the axle toob to the right of the pumpkin is a separate piece, Which means A: real easy to cut down and use the "regular" width axles. Or B: Makes it pretty easy for Axial to release a shorter tube for those who want to "upgrade" and put these on their Honcho, etc. I would not be surprised if they released a new updated Honcho/Dingo by the end of the year with these axcels... Brilliant!! Last edited by brokennib; 04-05-2011 at 11:47 AM. |

Is it just me or did it look like this thing has a whole lot of bump steer? I was watching the rc car video and it looks like it needs a track bar. Not complaining just wondered how long after it is out somebody comes out with a 3 link kit. And the green one looked to have brushless and was wicked. Just looked at the video again and feel dumb. It's a 4 link with servo on axle so it would not have bump steer. Loose servo saver maybe? Last edited by jeepinkid83; 04-05-2011 at 12:32 PM. |

2.2 isn't scale!!! Love almost everything about it. Love the axles, the trusses, the dig, the trans upgrades. I always knew a molded plastic tuber could be done well. I have been wanting to buy a rig for Cody's birthday. I think I know which one now. The wider axles will bring in a new world of performance for 2.2 scalers. No more wideners, zero backspacing wheels, and horrendus scrub radius. Guido needs an upgrade. Great work guys!! Thanks. |
