Harley's Wraith Sportsman Crawlapalooza is coming up in just over a week. We will be running a Sportsman class as well, which is just like 2.2 but is for shaftys only and no dig allowed. I built a bad ass sportsman a couple years ago but yesterday I decided if I was going to go through all the work to get it going again I might as well do something all new and awesome 8) So at 4:00 yesterday afternoon I decided I was going to do it, and it had to be a AR60 axle base. So while this truck will not resemble a Wraith at all, it will have started as one. Here we go... |
Chassis and Suspension Next choice was chassis and suspension. While I was bugging Steve I figured I would ask if they still had some Incision's still around. Lucky for me they did! So after getting some info on the skid plate that it uses I threw it into a model in Solidworks so I could check some link lengths. I want to use Vanquish's Ti links they have available for the Wraith, and again, lucky me they work out about perfectly 8) Click the pictures to go to the product pages http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-1961459..._2177_11456000 http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/fe7561a8.jpg http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-1961459...3_2172_1713869 http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-1961459...3_2172_1030770[/URL] http://www.vanquishproducts.com/vp-p...0-chass10.html http://www.vanquishproducts.com/wrai...per-links.html http://www.vanquishproducts.com/wrai...wer-links.html Then again back over to www.TCScrawlers.com to snag the shocks I wanted. Some Traxxas Big Bores Long's were my choice. http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Traxxas-H...0-p-17899.html |
Rolling Stock Vanquish Wheels are an obvious given. I have yet to see anyone give the VP a run for their money on wheels. 8) Another set of SSZ's will be slapped on, because I love some bling'ed out wheels :afro: Mounted to those will be a set of Losi Boss Claws from www.TCScrawlers.com and at this point my foams are undecided. |
Power Again, some quick decisions and phone calls and my stuff is on the way. First I called John at Holmes Hobbies. We talked for a minute and decided on the 13 turn Crawlmaster with Checkpoint end bell. These motors are so smooth, I can't wait to see how it does in this rig. To push the Crawlmaster we went with a BRXL and threw in a Castle BEC for good measure. http://holmeshobbies.com/images/P/CM-PRO-detail.jpg http://holmeshobbies.com/images/P/BRxl-detail.jpg http://holmeshobbies.com/files/d_56.jpg The batteries I'll be using are from Hobbypartz.com and are 3s 450 GenAce packs. I have been running these in my XR10 and have had good results. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-6219634..._2176_57110560 |
Control Futaba. We all know why 8) This servo is 514 oz/in and has a speed of 0.11 seconds! :twisted: http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/291d92c1.jpg Make it all work together will be my Futaba 4PKS with a Futaba 614 RX. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/f11a01ad.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...a/b18ae8c7.jpg |
I built a bad ass sportsman a couple years ago :lmao::lmao: |

Harley, I thought that you couldn't run the overdrive and underdrive gears at the same time? That the gear ratio is too far off that it causes a bind, ie breakage.. |
gonna be a killer rig...as allways with your builds"thumbsup" Drail |

Have you had good results with the junfac shafts? Better or worse then mip? Haven't seen them much so I was curious |

Cool thanks for the info. |
Surprised it took someone this long to try these axles in a sportsmen setting. |
what was the part number on those junfac driveshafts? will they fit a stock wraith?? |
the files arent opening in the control department... wondering if that motor is a bit to high speed. it will definitely have all the power you ever needed. and wheel speed. just being curious i suppose. i have a cobalt 13t motor, and that thing was as fast as a MM 4600 brushless. |

good to know. someone like me woulda thought i could just plop a 13t right in my 2.2 and go. all that down low control is always a good thing.:lmao: |

agreed, no way i would be able to gear it even close to correctly for the rpms of that motor. |
Like I said this morning...can't wait to see this beast! |
Is it done yet??? lololol |
When the wraith first came out I thought that the axles would be really cool for a sportsman rig. I'm glad you got started with one and I'll be looking forward to checking it out in Disney. |

You know that in most competitive circles if you are a sponsored driver you are not allowed to compete in a sportsman class.... I'm just sayin' |
where do I sign up for this sportsman class? |
Yeah the "Sportsman" denotation could maybe be a little off. Call it a Shafty class then :lol: And let's also not confuse my sponsorships to have anything to do with driving skill! We all know I'm a hack at that! Well there is our good 'ol local club that you can come play along with. I'm sure you'd be super excited for a vacation to Missouri... |

I can vouch for that!:lmao: |
