Mine seemed to have a fair bit of go. I'm using a 3300mah 2S 45C pack. Maybe a lower C rating is limiting ev01's?

I would not exceed 3s LiPo on it. I didn't have any issues with running it on 3s for extended periods of time.

Can anyone comment about the lower bent link from ckrc ?
Are they a good deal ? Thank you.

I do not recommend purchasing anything from CKRC.

Add info for axles on the first page. As more upgrades become available I will continue updating it.

Harley · 07-21-2011, 09:18 AM

Added info on upgrading your transmission.

Harley · 07-21-2011, 10:52 AM

Driveshafts added to the first page.

I keep updating it, so you're not too late at all.

Harley · 07-21-2011, 04:13 PM

Suspension info added.

lcbsc · 07-21-2011, 11:59 PM

Thanks for the update Harley...keep up the good work! Just wondering who makes the softer springs that will fit the stock shocks? Looks like the stock ones are the softest axial goes...do you know a third party that currently makes them?

MisterFubar · 07-22-2011, 12:11 AM

Got all my parts in to set up my rear steer(except the radio I'm still waiting on) and I realized the Axial Knuckles only come with 1 steering arm.

Looks like I'll be making something locally or waiting a couple more weeks.

lukezky · 07-22-2011, 01:28 AM

lcbsc, Axial does in fact have some softer ones - check out AX30223 (1.04 lbs/in), AX30224 (1.43) and AX30225 (1.75). These are 14x70mm, same as the ones that come on the Wraith (stock Wraith springs are 2.07 lbs/in).

Anyway, I just got my Wraith the other day, and ordered these springs separate from CKRC - they haven't shown up yet so I've yet to install them.

I'm new here, Harley's comment was the first I've heard about CKRC... I guess I'll find out what I find out. Tower has the same springs in stock, and I'm sure other places do as well.

Love your guides Harley, I find myself checking back on this one and your 4PL one just to see if anything new is there that I missed.

Did a lot of these mods and my Wraith runs great,

So again, thanks for all the great info.

Coops · 07-22-2011, 10:05 AM

Harley, for the drive shaft pins for the MIP's do you mean these?

This is a copy and paste:
Traxxas #5145 Screw Pin 4x15mm Revo (6)

Thanks, I'll add that to the list.

I haven't seen them in action so I won't be adding them yet.
