I think I heard the Wraith is 90t spur & 20t Pinion...everything else the same as AX10 axles and trany.

It's 80t spur 20t pinion just saw it in the parts list
And the axles aren't the same

This pic right here just makes all your hard work worth it, being a parent is awesome in moments like this isn't it.

On the photo of the upgrade parts, are the shocks the same aluminum ones from the AX10?

So great seeing the kids enjoy. When my daughter was that age she was chasing my nitros, now shes 15 any my scale photographer.

As far as ground clearance, I'll be sure to post up some pics and measurements. When I get home tonight, I'll get all sorts of specs posted up

thanks for the feed back im dyin to get a wraith

The steering and axle links are plastic, but there much beefier than the other TR's.

As promised, here are the shots requested in PM's, Emails and in this thread.

- Articulation shot
- Side by side shot for a size comparison
- A shot of the rig without the top on (looks pretty good)
- A few shots of the skid size and link setup

Enjoy!!!

For those of you scale buffs, how about some dash and seat details?

Here are a few shots of the seats. As you can see, they recline, there light weight and wicked scale looking.

The dash is exactly 6" x .75" and sells as a seperate part number from the seats.

The part number for the dash maybe the same as the interior floor as it's not 100% clear from the instructions. Here is what I think the part number will be AX4028. You will also need the interior plastics, which are part number AX80037.

The seats are part number AX80080

A few of you asked about clearance, axle measurements and steering.

Here are the ground clearance details with out of the box stock settings;

- Belly - 3 1/4"
- Pumpkin - 1 5/8"
- Axle Tube - 2 1/4"

The rig is 11.5" wide (outside of tire to outside of tire) and 9 3/16" wide a the hex pins.

For those of you who make skins, the Wraith will be an awsome opportunity for you as all the panels are fairly easy to work with.

The lexan body panels are .040" so there nice and stout.

And for Mr. JohnRobHolmes here is a shot of the battery tray and it's dimensions

1 7/8" x 5 15/16"

[Spiike]

i'm curious to see it fly, you going to make a video of it taking jumps, flyin around the yard...

i hear the pinion is 20t and the spur is 90t? is that the same transmission on the ax10/scx10 too? can you take pictures of it?

I also hear that the motor is new, and its the axial 20T motor, i'm interested in it, thats why i want to see it fly! I think that motor would work good in the scx10 too!

[zjguy721]

A question of scale:

Would this still be considered 1/10 scale or would you call it 1/8 scale? Compared next to a Honcho, it dwarfs it.

[JonU]

Can't wait to get mine! I'll have to wait till the end of June or beginning of July to actually get my hands on it though.

I have a VID we made before we sent it back, Don't mean to step on toes Brett, but i already have it so you can save the truck for other testing

Did learn, stay in the throttle, the drag brake will put you on your lid everytime if you don't, and even if you miss and take a tumble it comes back for more!

I'll do my best to get some video up, but for now, Slobin was kind enough to post up a vid that they shot at the Hobby Garage these past few days. My son and I took the rig out to the dirt bike field next to our house and he had a blast. The dang things is a beast

As far as pinion/spur combo it is an 80/20 combo. The axial tranny is the same as the Honcho/Dingo, with the exception of it being dig unit compatible. The other half of the outdrive is called a Dig Lockout Shaft and allows the optional dig unit to mount up with very little effort. The tranny also has the new Axial dust cover assembly, which is really cool.

The motor is new to me, but I'm not 100% certain that it's new to Axial. It is a 20T motor (AX24003) and works really well. It doesn't have the drag break capability of a traditional endbell motor, but it does the job. I have a new motor coming from Holmes Hobbies that should give me a bit more low end torque, more upper end and hold on a hill a bit better. More on that soon

Good question. This is just my opinion, but I would say it's 1/9 - 1/8th scale.

When you do get one, you'll have an absolute riot with it

I think.....I Need one and am extremely depressed the UPS guy showed up and took it away

[SC Convert]

All the rest of us can do is wait till our orders get here.

What sized batteries were you running and average runtimes?

Has anyone got the dirt on when they are supposed to ship?
