Got the BEC installed. Tried the aluminium panels and modified them little. First run with CC BEC and oh boy was it bit different than previously, plenty of power and speed @ 8 V. 20120802-205357-Wraith Tuning by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120802-215357-Wraith Tuning by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120802-215453-Wraith Tuning by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr |

Package from Hobbyking arrived and so did my 4S batteries, 2650 mAh, and oh boy do those have some serious punch... Simply amazing, And I was thinking if I should change my motor, no I don't, but seems that I will have to start "Bomb Proofing" my Wraith. Broken Servo Case was end result of this one, but check the video to see how 4S and Orion Vortex Crawler engine kick. 20120803-140943-Wraith 4S by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120803-140810-Wraith 4S by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120803-140440-Wraith 4S by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120803-140438-Wraith 4S by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120803-152343-Wraith 4S by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr |

Well done good sir. You've achieved both crawlability and the speed the wraith deserves. I like it. I've never seen a broken servo case, now that's done too. |

I mean I love the whole build but those little touches like the switches/shift lever boots are what make this for me! can't wait to see what you've got next on the list. oh, and is that a VW/Audi hatch that you're driving? |

are you still running the same motor as your initial build? it's certainly looks fast enough to me and it sure crawls very well.

So, yesterday I broke the servo case, ordered new case and spare gears, in the meanwhile had to do something to be able to drive - Good old CA saved the day. 20120805-130841-untitled shoot by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr 20120805-152802-untitled shoot by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr Until I lost one pin from my rear axle, the collar had moved just so much that the pin got out, well made new one from Drill bit 2.5mm, cut it to 12mm with Dremel and again good to go. 20120805-214637-Wraith at the SchoolYard by Jyri Laitinen, on Flickr Later it was time to go back to the school yard next to our house and have some serious 4S fun... |
