emutts wraith
 

Hey made ya look lol. Figured I would go ahead and start my build thread because MY WRAITH IS ON THE DELIVERY TRUCK HEADED MY WAY NOW :mrgreen:

Congrats! Have fun with it! RTR or kit?

It's the kit version and im giddy like school girl lol.

I know the feeling! What electronics you running?

Flysky gt3b radio gear castle creations sidewinder and bec hitech 645mg for now "until I luck into a better one lol" 27 t epic with a venom 3000mah 7cell hump pack.

Yeah you're going to need a more powerful servo to move the 2.2 tires.

Id reccomend the 5645mg digital. same price, almost 170 in-oz

I think the one I'm looking at is the 7954sh think that's it its like $80 or $90 over 300 oz/in

300+oz suits the Wraith well, I have no problems at all. I run a 7955TG on mine with a HH BRXL on 3s. No external BEC, the internal BEC handles it just fine.

That's a nice set up hopefully I can get mine close to that one day "thumbsup"

Thanks EMUTT! Post pics when you rip the box open!

I was wondering it the bec on the HH BRXL would handle a high votage servo. You never have any brownouts?

Not to worry I will"thumbsup"

Not with my 7955TG and the HH BRXL.

If you cant afford a 100 dollar servo though, CKRCcrawlers.com they have a servo they make thats only around 20 bucks and is 200 oz. I have the HH BRXL and its runs great, and i have a external BEC just in case. Great servo for 20 bucks


CKRC Special MG946R, 208oz Torque Metal Gear Servo [ckmg946R] - $18.99 : CKRC Crawlers, RC Rock Crawlers

Sweet build.....wait a minute there isnt one. Looking forward to the build as to which I will be starting mine soon so I need ideas. "thumbsup"

It's here its here its finally here "thumbsup"

I have the same setup and love it "thumbsup"

Well its been a day for sure lol me myself thanks Axial could try a lol harder with there tolerences. Had a few prices so far that didn't want to work right but they fit lol. Biggest issue so far is one of my driveshaft ends where the grub screw goes through at the transmission wasn't threaded at all:evil: not sure what to do about that right now. But here are some progress shots

That's all for now gota take a break lol.

Sometimes the driveshafts aren't threaded on both sides, did you flip it over and try running the pin screw in the other end?

Sure did all of them except that one is threaded both sides

Well i got my wrauth put together and ran it for about 5 mins before the epic 27 went up in smoke :evil:. Got a 20t axial coming in the mail but from what i have been reading its not gonna last very long either lol. Anywho here are some poser pics was hoping for a vid but thats a no go for now.

When i get a new motor in i will make a vid maybe not ending in a cloud of smoke "thumbsup"

I've got 40+ hours of use out of my stock 20t motor. They will last just take care of them.

Do you crawl with it much? How many volts are you running?

I got about 10 hours out of my stocker. Finally killed it yesterday, but was my own fault. I usually swap on my non-weighted wheels & tires for faster runs, but did about 20 minutes straight of fast hill climbing with the heavy stuff on and when i came back down the last time she was smoking pretty good. LOL

"thumbsup" Nice. Nothing beats BBQ motor smell :lmao:

Well got the stock motor in and have to say i am very pleased with the performance just scared to bind it up at the moment :evil:. But when i drove it the first time noticed it sways pretty bad at speed lol so i am in the process of making a rear sway bar for it. Here are some pics of the first setup.
