| Moving battery tray to front
I have seen a few on here that have had the battery tray relocated to the front. I was wondering if this is worth doing and also did you use the stock battery tray? Thanks

i just got my wraith yesterday and i already moved the battery tray to the front. I will be using mine for crawling so i wanted the battery weight up front. i used the stock tray with little modification to it.

I moved my batteries to the front but I run with 2 X 2S or a single 3S and they fit perfect in the space the stock sped control was. I moved to an HH ESC and 35T motor and put them in the battery box in the rear and made a fuel cell/deck cover to hide them. |

Mine was stripped also I ended up taking the whole truck apart and using a dremel with a cut off wheel to cut a grove for a screw driver. Hope this helps. Has anyone else had a problem with stripping the hexes, I am using a good send of wrenches to. |

Ive had mine for 3 weeks or so and never put the battery in the rear battery tray. My comp scx10 batterys are 1300 m amps. I started with the passenger footwell on the transmission side. Then i modded the front underhood between the shock towers. Ive got to pull the hood off to switch the battery. And it only has a run time of only 10 minutes. Ive got a Max Amps 6500 m amp lipo on order (due in next week)? Where do i put it? The wraith is so well balanced i dont want to chance that?
