I want to start off by thanking the guys over at Axial Racing for getting this new rig in my hands so fast. I am completely blown away by the detail and time put into this. The kit also comes with some really cool stickers and plastic scale accesories

This is my first ready to run rig and must say it was kind of nice to pull it out of the box, plug in a battery and go bash. I was able to get it out last night for some durability testing and was very impressed how well it held up. After 2 batteries through it and some major beating, I had only managed to strip out the 25 spline Futaba style servo horn

Throw some SCX-10 shock on and hit the dirt.

You heard the man, hit the dirt.

I hope this means you will be joining us for some scale fun this summer bud.

You bet buddy, I have alot of ideas brewing in my head on this one

Sparky J · 06-23-2011, 09:36 PM

I was wanting to mount up these new tires that I have had laying around for a while now. Since the stock wheels and tires are glued on I needed a different wheel option. So what better then the stock XR-10 beadlocks

I also clocked the front C's one more click backwards to gain a little more steering. I was able to use the same grub screw holes as stock, just have to push a little harder when scewing them in.

Lastly, I moved the upper shocks to the inside holes and added a BEC

I like the wheels. They fit the look of the rig well.

JohnRobHolmes · 06-23-2011, 09:49 PM

You call this tech?

I spy that BL motor back there. Plan to drop it in?

Nope, just customizing to my liking..

Thinking about it, although I would like something with a little more crawlablity without sacraficing wheel speed. Any ideas??

JohnRobHolmes · 06-23-2011, 10:04 PM

Oh, I have plenty of them

We are sending out quite a few 13t Crawlmasters for Wraith use and are just waiting on some feedback to see how they stack up compared to stock. On 3s it should be faster than stock on 2s, but have much better low end control and punch.

I noticed Harley is putting one of these bad boys in. Would an old 1/10 scale sidewinder handle a 13 turn Crawlmaster on a 3 s?

JohnRobHolmes · 06-24-2011, 06:12 PM

yep, that would be just fine.

liveforocks · 06-25-2011, 02:33 AM

does it make a big difference in the steering ?

cato · 06-26-2011, 08:53 AM

stap a couple rockets too it

....but watch out for tree limbs

XRMikey · 06-26-2011, 08:25 PM

Hey Sparky!

I see you changed your plug like I did.
I don't know if you are interested or not.
But I routed mine below the cab so the wires don't mess up the interior.
The plug is in the back now.

Pics of how I did mine.
