LOl....I need to drop the drag brake, front flips arent good. This thing on the shop floor does some crazy doughnuts!!!!, it gets going so fast that you cant see whats happening till it goes air born. I haven't had time to crawl with the 3300/mmp because I got some hair in my ass to redo all the wring and lighting. I was going to build a KOH buggie out of it (thanks to seeing Harleys) but I decided to keep the plastic cage to help keep the CG down so I'm going to build off it. Besides I've already started building 2 caged out slash trucks, one with a straight axle rear and I cant finish those so why start another..........

The servo mounted with the steering wheel, Does that turn when you turn the wheels at the same time and the same direction?

Yes it does, I just mounted it to the bottom of the dash and the colom screws straight onto it. I used a mini servo.

That is awesome!! Does the drivers arms move as well? Any kind of mini servo will work? Do you have to do anything special to make both servo's work at the same time?

His arm is held to the steering wheel with double sided tape and I put a piece of cloth on his arm so it will turn with the wheel. You just have to get Y connector to put in line with your steering servo wire.

Great vid!
Handles fantastic and the 3300 does beautiful on the track.
How does it slow down?
Will it still tackle tough crawls?

It slows good as long as you dont hit the brakes hard I have 20% drag brake right now. Crawling is pretty good but when I get bound up really bad it locks up, wont go back or forward till I lift it up and than its ok, a brushed motor is way better for this. It is a blast to drive though.

Well its time to get ready for Axial Fest.


My son bought the hpi drivers for the trophy truck (he thought) to use in his scaler but they ended up being for the hpi Apache so I took them to see if they would fit my wraith, they fit perfect! With my wild willies driver and the stock Wraith interior it weighed almost 7 oz, the new hpi weighs nothing compare to the stock stuff. Plus I thought its time for new panels so this is what I'm working on.
