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! Last edited by 2500hdon37s; 07-28-2011 at 05:43 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.

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

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

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. |
