I was thinking more along the lines of parts that would bulletproof the rig, like metal transmission gears, carriers, knuckles, etc etc. Strong is universal, pretty is not.  | |

Still thinking that the VXL ESC/Motor combo a decent decision? My stock motor is just about finished, looking to swap without spending a ton.

Not sure if this asked already, but how are you running the BEC? Directly to servo or thru stock receiver? If directly to servo then the question is can the stock receiver handle an ext bec? |

6.0 volts through the stock RX was no issue. I never run direct to the servo, I see no use when only running one high power servo.

So the brushless motor is a lot of fun, but I'm over the go fast part now. It did a great job for durability testing but it's time to move on. I was going to build a second one up as more of a crawler based and leave this one as a go fast. I have somewhat changed my mind on that direction. Instead I am just going to build this one as a more well rounded rig. So today I called up JohnRobHolmes and discussed our options. After some discussion we decided to try out the new 5 slot motors John is offering. I am going to go with a 13 turn which will have great low speed control and still have great top end (although not quite that of the brushless). To go along with the motor I decided to round out the package with a Waterproof BRXL esc from Holmes as well.  http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...0&cat=0&page=1  http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...4&cat=2&page=1  |

I have a handful of these ESC's and I definitely like the power they can push. The drag brake is VIOLENTLY powerful too. |

Harley, as you spoke directly with JRH, last night I was just thinking about HH crawlmaster 5slot motors, and wondering if given the size of the Wraith it would have been a better choice a 550 (or 600) long case motor. Have you talked with JRH about that possibility too?

I see your point on the lightweight. Still it's a pity that link does not allow a 550-600 motor to go in. I love 600's I'm pretty sure that after the very first go-fast bashing period, my goal would be to make it more of a scale-crawler and for sure it will have weight in the (beadlock)wheels. |
