| If sticking with the stock motor I would suggest a new pinnion and spur. It does pretty well as it is out of the box but it just doesn't have as much low end control since the gearing is aimed more at speed.

So, the AE-2 ESC will handle a 3Cell? Everything that I have seen is saying only up to 2Cell. That is great to hear. Had a sidewinder waiting for it anyway if needed.

| Yeah, swing the old sticks, this is way more fun! Although I wouldn't mind bring this thing with me next time I play around. Some serious sand trap fun |

Looking good so far. I'm quite impressed with how much abuse the stock esc will take. I guess that's Castle for you though | |

I am looking forward to the Axial CV shafts. They are amazing in the XR and I look forward to putting them in this. | |

The steering is phenomenal on them. I bet I am approaching 50 degrees on my XR with VP knuckles. | |

| The uppers are the same as the stock XR10 uppers. They need that bend to clear the driveshafts. I can measure the lowers but they need a couple bends to clear the skid.

Does the antenna exit through a hole in the body? It looks like it does. If so, was the hole already there? I wasn't planning on having the antenna sticking up on mine and was hoping that the hole wasn't there from the factory. Your review has helped me a lot. But, the more I read about the Wraith, the more I think I will get something else. I'm getting confused. First I saw the Wraith and wanted it, then the Gmade R1 caught my eye. Now that I have been waiting for the Wraith to come out so i could decide between the two, I have pretty much ruled out the R1 and have started reading up on the SCX10. So now it is Wraith or SCX10. I don't really like the looks of the AX10 or XR10, but I like the performance of them. Maybe SCX10 with Wraith axles. That might be the ticket. |

If you want a better performing truck than the Wraith would be a clear choice over the SCX10. I own them both and the Wraith will far out crawl the SCX. Its just a matter of tire size and wheelbase. If later you want to go to a SCX style chassis you could always swap stuff over although it likely wouldn't be a bolt on affair. The R1 is kinda cool but doesn't really offer much as far as aftermarket goes. The Axial is much better designed IMO. | |

Just placed an order with Vanquish Products this afternoon. On it's way to me are the following parts: Black Knuckles Black C-hubs Black 2.2 SSZ-11 Wheels 335 hubs and 450 hubs. Not sure what width hubs I will go with yet but I'll do some experimenting when it all arrives. Also when the knuckles come in we are going to have to see what I can work with on the linkages and steering arms. |

Definitely get me a lower length and email me a good pic of the lowers, so I can work out the bends. Also get me the steering link length as well! |
