Jason's Wraith, the baby killer.

Ty and I took the Wraiths out again lastweek and ran them on a 2.4 mile trail ride.

Took a pair of Wraiths up to Flagstaff mountain outside of Boulder, Colorado. We ran them for 2.4 miles and ended up using about 4400mah for each crawler.

Awesome video, makes me super amped for mine. I'm going to be like a 7 year old on christmas morning when the UPS man gets here TOMORROW!!!

I know you posted this before what were you guys running for power?

Both running the stock esc, with a castle BEC and 3s. I still had the stock motor, Ty had a 15 turn HPI silver can motor.

After we shot the video we went and bashed around at another location and both ended up toasting our motors.

Thanks, yea I try to put my vids in both places, vimeo has a much better quality, but some people can't use it so I put it on youtube for them.

Yea it was a nice hike and we had a blast. Talked about getting a bunch of guys together and going and doing a trail. No gates, no points, nothing except driving and having fun.

Great video and spot!
Looks like the Wraith's are nicely balanced for higher speeds. Looks like they will take a beating too. Anything break?

One lower link popped off it's ball and after filming we went and beat them some more and both of us ended up burning up our motors.

I'm thinking vxl for esc and motor but crawl ability will suck or a vxl esc with a d3 motor (sensored) 10.5. The vxl esc will run sensored and is water resistant

Yea now I need a new motor too, gonna call up Holmes. I am thinking about maybe a 20 turn handwound.

Not sure if thats with the seats but still

The seats are not included but are available for purchase seperately.
Axial part number: AX80080 Grey
AX80090 Black
Both ... $24.00 a pair
Both "OUT OF STOCK" No Surprise :-(

Nice job Jason. I like that video a lot, it makes me look like a good driver.

[JohnRobHolmes]

We can get you set up with a replacement brushed motor for sure. I also have a good selection of Tekin and Castle motors coming in if you ever wanted to use brushless.

Pretty kick ass vids! The best I have seen yet!

[Bulldog]

SICK video! It seems each video of the wraith just keeps getting better, and all of them do nothing but help us want to add one to the collection! Make more and post up any mods asap or as soon as possible...which ever comes first!

[geekfreek95]

this makes me want a wraith but im wrapped around an xr-10 for now

[jason]

Well, just placed an order with Holmes Hobbies, decided to try out sensored brushless in this thing. I have a sensored setup in my HPI Blitz, but other than that I have never played with them.

Got a Mamba Max Pro and a Hyperion 13.5 motor.

Leaving to for a few days on monday, but I should have it running by next weekend.

[Harley]

I am aborting my brushless setup now. The sensorless is fun for bashing but no good otherwise. I bet that setup you're grabbing will be a better mix of both. I am switching gears and going for a little more scale/trail rig with mine now.

Yea that is what I am hoping. I also want this to be a trail rig. That last video we shot where we just went hiking was a blast, a little crawling, a little hauling ass, jumping, crashing, ect. No timers, no gates to worry about, ect.

This motor is comparable to like a 25 turn brushed motor, so I am hoping that I can gear it so it's about as fast, or maybe just a hair more than stock. I'm happy with the stock speed on 3s, just hoping the brushless gives me a little more efficiency and reliability.

[hotwheels000]

Tekin has a chart that will tell you exactly what your top speed will be. I plan on a simular set up using a MMP and Tekin SC sensored brushless,should have more torque with the longer can.... One of the senerios I ran with Tekins calculator put me at 29.8 mph Hoping it will retain the low end resolution with the longer SC can

Only real concern is will the longer can clear the upper link mounts at the skid.....but there are ways to overcome that.
