the CC bec is not needed with the HH BR-XL esc just fyi! it has a great internal BEC! IMO 3600mah is pleanty of run time for a wraith. no need to buy more! but you might want 3s for some extra wheel speed.

should be a great build! I like all the VP parts!

only thing I don see that you might want is MIP drive shafts!

chicklet 07-28-2011 07:02 PM

MIPs are on my list ;) I have them on my SCX10 and love 'em. I'm gonna stick with 2s. Not to concerned about wheel speed. I have a Traxxas Rally for speed lol.

Looks like a good parts list. You are going to want the Ti links also. "thumbsup"

chicklet 07-30-2011 06:43 AM

Thanks klabeaume. Hehe VP killed my Paypal lol. I'm going to wait for some more link options. Also going to relocate the battery up front. CC BEC is on the way. I also got all the VP stuff installed yesterday. MTHead delrin rings are on too ;)

Ya VP did the same to me and they keep me wanting more! Check out the crawler innovations links they worked great on my rig nice and solid.

Did the wraith knuckles come with both steering arms? In their stock photos they look like they're made onto the knuckle. Thanks

chicklet 07-31-2011 06:43 AM

The little arms are separate pieces but they come with the knuckles. Not sure why they are red but I like the color break up.

I have the Pit Bulls on mine and they work great dirt or rock just perfect.the foams that I have are dual stage custom foams from 66sprint6 an they are perfect for the tires.he is pretty cheap to 4 for about the price of 2 foams anywhere else

chicklet 07-31-2011 08:24 AM

Sweet! I can't wait for my Pitbull Rockbeasts. I'm getting the new 1.9s as well for another build.

HillbillyCrawler 07-31-2011 08:28 AM

You will love them.

chicklet 08-03-2011 03:30 PM

Rockbeasts are on they way. Everything is installed. Going to run the stock motor/esc on 2s lipo with the bec for now. My HH setup should be here in a couple weeks. :)

RPP Hobby 08-03-2011 03:43 PM

Glad you got it! Looking good "thumbsup" "thumbsup"

chicklet 08-03-2011 05:58 PM

Thanks Corey for everything!

You are set up for some good times!

Some advice on the BEC: Give the TM internal one a shot. For the stock servo it will have no problems. For the hitec you may want to pick up a programmer and widen the deadband to ensure it isn't buzzing all the time. Depending on your driving or terrain you may not even need it. Some people do at that servo strength, some people dont.

chicklet 08-03-2011 06:33 PM

Thanks John for all your help today! I'm super excited about my new setup!!!!

Here is a pic of mine with the Pit Bull rock beasts and the dual stage foams from 66sprint6.they work so good.
