| Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith
I'm building a Wraith kit for Axialfest. For mods so far I have; ROC 412 2300KV RS Pro or RS Gen2 ESC 10A CC BEC HS7954sh steering servo VP Ti tie rod and drag link VP stage one kit VP akerman arms RR idler gear and output gear MIP driveshafts. Any other mods recommended? Gearing recommendations? I would like to do a front battery tray/servo winch mount and a Radio Shack small project box in the back for the RX, ESC, and BEC. |

| Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith This is the bulletproof thread so if you want a link that is up to that name then you need something that uses a 4mm thread and a Revo end. The kit version uses 3mm threads and you can pull the rod ends off fairly easy under hard thrashing.

Is the super shafty beefy top shaft sold anywhere but their site? He is out of stock and I need one asap.

Send him an email though, sometimes he has them in stock for use with his complete built transmissions. You might be able to sweet talk him out of one | |

Harley man! Have you found certain bearings better than others for eliminating transmission top shaft slop? I am very picky about pinion/spur mesh and find there is a little too much play in the bearings to keep the shaft as centered as I like. |

| Re: Harley's Guide to a Bulletproof Wraith Are you running an aluminum case? I guess I haven't noticed anything to make me think twice about it. Im running a VP case in my rig.

Looking very closely I see the movement in the bearing and where the bearing supports the shaft. I will say I am being picky though, I have never stripped or damaged a spur even while running 3S on 48P gears. I'm now on 32P. | |

How much play are you talking about? 1/32"? 1/16"? | |

1/32" - 3/64" maybe. Could be that my top shaft has somehow worn just slightly where the bearing rides. It is not enough movement to cause concern on 32p, but it certainly was with 48p. |

Any updates on the pinion bushings from vanquish? I'm in need of some since installing the roc412. Thanks.
