Default Wraith Kit Build!! --My first
Hey everyone!!
Just yesterday I ordered a couple things including an Axial Wraith Kit!!!! I figured that I had nothing better to do but bring ya'll along for the ride. Ok, so I ordered 2 other things for the kit. I ordered a Traxxas Velineon brushless motor/ esc combo. I'm sure that this will give me the speed I want for sure!! Then I also got the Spektrum DX2E 2-Channel DSM Surface Radio. Very simple, but because I don't plan to run I winch or anything else, I went with it. Later on in the week I will be posting pictures of the build process and the installation of the electronics that I have. I may even throw in a spare servo to get some running time in and maybe even a video!!!

I am very excited about this build!!
