I think this is my new favorite Wraith. I love the colors of the wrap Dev. Toyo and Harley are close but the HotWheels logo with the Axial logo inside just makes me smile.

By far, my 7 y.o.'s favourite Wraith to date ! Dad likes it too

I'm surprised there's that much of a weight difference between the two seats, even taking into consideration your exaggerated your metric -> imperial conversion (42g difference x 2 = 84g = 0.185lb)

I'll be interested to see how you do your CMS and panhard set-up. Definitely a must-do for a scale rig.

Okay.. that's it. I'll have to make sure Devlin brings it to next Wednesday's comp. Then I'll get some footage of both the Bulu Wraith and the Hotwheels Wraith.

Dang! I heard that you took a spill but damn man! High Rocks is one of the dangerous spots we crawl in the local area. Many kids die there each year from jumping into the river, hence the life guards that sit there from about 9-10am until almost 7pm everyday. I was there on Tuesday running the Wraith. My work is just a blocks down the street from HR.

I finally got some time to install this combo Tekin 7.5/mmp.32 pitch, 60 tooth spur ,13 tooth pinion just fits with the gear cover on. Running 3s , with the smaller 1350mh battery it moves out and wheelies on command almost, low end res is o/k...could be better but I like the top speed compromise.4000 mh keeps the wheels planted.

Team3Six comes threw again Asked him to make me up some seats...just told him to use the hotwheels colors and go at it. I am still amazed everytime I see Norms products. I cant beleive this is all had cut and fitted Norm you have patience and skils my friend, thank you again for your efforts
