I went with the recommended Tekin Redline 13.5, MMP and 3S and all I can say is wow! Faster now but not too fast IMO and it definitely has some punch when you get into the throttle. Electronics and battery are just zip tied in place for testing purposes. Now to finish it out and have some fun.

Ok I am a newb so please be gentle. I just ordered the mmp and was trying to decide between the tekin 10.5 and 13.5. I know I can crawl with both but is the difference in speed enough to worry about or is the 13.5 gonna be fine? Also, what gearing should I use with this set up? And what is this about the stock being reverse rotation and is there something I am gonna need to do when installing this set up? Thanks a lot you all!

Switch the gearing to 32 pitch, 60/14 is a nice combo on that system. | |

I got my first RC, a Wraith kit. I'm about to point and pull the trigger on a setup today. If it helps a group I may be going with crawls on rocks a lot I think. First off I have a Onyx charger and and Lipo 2S setup. Here's what I'm about to buy: Hitec 7945SH servo Sidewinder SV2 CC 10A ESC I also had won a stock Wraith controller and a Matrix 55t so I'll be using those. |

That setup will crawl very well. It will be a low on wheel speed but it will give you a starting point. Some time down the road you may look at grabbing a 35t for good crawling and little more wheel speed. | |

| Re: Choosing a motor and ESC for your Wraith Yea, I already planned on a higher speed motor, and I'd still have the 55. It was free so it'll do ok for a while maybe. The free controller and motor will get be by until I have time to learn more. I also have rear steer as a upgrade and then I'll need a new control but have this one for now. Thanks!

| Re: Choosing a motor and ESC for your Wraith
Need some help I smoked my motor last week and I have been looking for some thing to replace it. I have an idea since i want to use my wraith for just crawling can i just take the 27T motor and the 87/14 gears out of the scx10 and plug them straight into the wraith.

| Re: Choosing a motor and ESC for your Wraith One more question, your opinion on the SV2? Would I be happier as a newbe with it for $63 shipped or spend twice that for a MMP, Holmes Brxl, or Tekin FX-R? I had a guy recommend the SV2 but at the same time I've heard lots of bad reviews. This guys no newbe and been building them and everything for 13 years or so. It's hard to ignore that and most here I don't know but they have few posts. I don't know if the bad reviews are user error or not. I read up some and heard that some used 3S and may have over done it.
