Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith I too had trouble locating strong 4mm setscrews. What I ended up doing was purchasing 4x20 cap head bolts, grade 12.9. Thread a nut onto the bolt, thread the bolt into your already tapped link. Cutoff head of bolt with a cutoff wheel. Then un-thread the nut off the end. It will clean the threads up as it is removed, making it easy to thread into your Revo joints. Robinson has just released a one piece lower gear that is a much better option than the steel lower gear with the stock outputs, as you are still relying on the small 2mm bolts to hold the lower gear and outputs together. Only downside is I'm sure it is much heavier than the other option. A less expensive option than the Vanquish links is R2J's stainless set. Sure, theoretically the stainless isn't as strong as the Ti, but they've been holding up under my Wraith for monthes now. More than I can say about the chassis, and axle housings. And a heads up, the Wraith axles, especially the fronts, aren't long enough to allow the setscrews on Felsenfest spools to fully engage on the end of the shaft. I learned this the hard way and destroyed a spool and a set of front shafts. |

I have ran stainless links, they just aren't strong enough when you get a heavy rig. I would go for some custom chromo links before anything stainless, not a fan at all. The one piece locker is an option I have thought about recently, I would have to actually see what the weak point proves to be. My Wraith will likely tell us sooner then later. |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith can u use a gen 3 slipper on like a bone stock transmission (besides pinion) or do you need a special shaft? |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith Quote:

Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith are their any other 32p options where i dont need a $27 shaft. |

Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith do you reomend HR's hardened steel or hardened Aluminum trans gears |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith Quote:

Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith ok well do you like hardened alumium gears or hardened steel gears (ps. a pro4) |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith Great write up Harley! Quote:
Thanks as always with all your suggestions and knowledge. Nick |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith @Harley I see that you recommend the AX10 MIP driveshafts. Any reason that you don't recommend the more expensive Wraith specific driveshafts? (I assume that they are essentially the same thing, and the AX10 shafts have enough length to work.) |

I'd assume they applied the same idea but just changed the pins to fit. I just installed them on mine and they seem like they will be perfect. Although, I haven't gotten the chance to run them yet. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?c45ve4 |

I run the MIP Wraith shafts and they work fine also, BUT from what I am reading this is the "BOMB PROOF" thread that outlines the NO HOLDING back approach to upgrades so in his suggestions the tranny is swapped out to a AX10 and heavily upgraded as seen at this link and pic: AXAIL BOMB PROOF MODS http://supershafty.com/images/img1152.png So with the output shafts being larger and AX10 style thus reason for the AX10 MIP shaft kit...... Harley or anyone correct if I am wrong, hope not:ror:. I am currently running the Wraith tranny so after looking at the list I seen on the Super Shafty web site they offer the "BEEFY TOP SHAFT" for the AX10 and Wraith tranny so I just ordered on for my Wraith so I can load a R/R Slipper on my rig in the 32p spur. I tried the R/R in the 48p 80t spur (stock Wraith) and with my power combo it was geared wrong and slipped way to much, I didn't even run it for a full run and took it out......still need to put it up for sale. Hope this helps.... Nick |
Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith gotcha. I was just wondering if it was going to be an easy way to save $20 on the price of the Wraith MIPs ($60) vs the AX10 MIPs ($40). |

What is your power set up? Crawling or bashing? My RR Slipper wouldn't hold even tightened all the way with my HH 13t CrawlMaster & 3s. The gearing was way off also so I hope the new package I ordered today like Harley suggests works better with it being geared correct. |
