The answer is.... It doesn't matter. Just make sure the timing is set properly for the direction your motor is running. If not then change it or flip the diffs.

Awesome. Thanks for the help.

I'm looking to get the 32 pitch gears but don't know where to get them.
Anyone know who has the best selection of ratios?

Everywhere pretty much has that stuff. Check Towerhobbies, Amain, RPP, etc.

Thanks Harley. Do you know if all wheels for the XR10 fit the wraith.
I'm really liking those beadlocks

Yes all will fit. However some offsets are different and you may get rubbing on shocks and links. Also VP knuckles can cause issues with stock XR wheels.

Is there any option on better 12mm hexs? I can't keep them tight and or they get sloppy quick. I can't seem to find any with the hub extension thingy.

No idea why you want an extension but I suggest a quality set of wheels. Aluminum wheels with adjustable hubs are a good idea.

I have a set of mayhams. The stock hexs have the extension that supports the wheel. Do I need that?

Not sure at all what you're talking about.

[rc's suck]

Thanks that was my thought.

I hate threads like this!!!!!!
Toooooo much information!!!!!!
Just got my second Wraith kit,my first has the 35turn rockstar in it,and i want some more wheelspeed for the trialruns.
I have a Exceed fusion brushless setup here a 13.5,but not sure if the ESc has a dragbrake?
With the 13.5 would i lose a lot of crawling power?

There is a seperate sticky on motors and ESC's. A 13.5 is good as long as it is sensored. Check the other thread. First page has the good info.

Hey Harley got some questions for you. I am getting ready to order vp dig but wonder if the super shafty top shaft will work or if il need the ax10 shaft?
I know I need ax10 trans case. Also will it all fit under the stock interior I'll be using a micro servo. Anything else I should know before doing this.
Thanks

I honestly don't know the difference between the upper Shafty top shafts. The dig will fit under the interior. You can see it in the first few pages of my wraith build.

I pm Rick about it and he said I'm good just some shimming. I thought I saw a pick with it under your interior but could find it again.
Thanks for you expertise.

Hi there harley. I need help please. I bought a wraith and lots of upgraded parts. Like high torque servo vanquish tie rod, steering knuckes etc. But my biggest problem is this. I wanted more speed and torquey engine that i could bash and do some uphils and foff. Even also some crawl. I ordered the mamba max pro combo with the 3800kv motor. But the guy in the store told me the 2400kv was best (because they dont have the 3800kv). My question is. Does this 69.5mm lenght 2400kv motor fits the wraith without cutting part of the skidplate? And is it better engine than the 3800kv? I need to know because i live in brasil and a friend of mine is bringing me this things from miami. And if not i can still try to swap the combo with other similar one because his trip to brasil delayed a couple of days. And i couldnt find info on the net . PLEASE HELP.
CRAVO
Other question with the mamba max pro sct 2400kv combo i will intall a hi torque servo hitech 7975 do i need also to install a bec? If yes wich one? I am planning to use a venon 5000mah 40c with this wraith. Woudnt be better a 3s at least with this engine? Will i be able to crawl with this engine? Stock gearing.
Thanks.

Neither of those setups are very good at crawling. The motor and ESC thread has tons of info on what motor. You need a sensored system, the Mamba Max Pro is a sensored ESC but none of their combo systems come with brushless motors. A 13.5 Tekin motor is a good fit.

Yes you need a BEC, that is covered in this thread. Please read the threads, all the info is already here. You could have the info before I ever get around to responding.
