Thinking about getting a Wraith.

[TOMS97ZJ]

I have been looking through all the stickys and I think I have it figured out.
Here is a list of parts I plan to order.

LXBPDB Axial Wraith 4WD Kit

LXXWH5 Castle Creations 1/10 Mamba Max Pro ESC Smart Sense

LXULW8 Tekin Redline Sensored Brushless Motor 13.5 Turn

LXZZD1 Futaba 3PL 3-Channel 2.4GHz FHSS Transmitter/Receiver

LXNRN6 Hobbico CS-170 Std Digital Ultra Torq 2BB TG Servo U

LXCASW Pro-Line Scale Accessory Assortment #6

All for $689.


Eventually I plan to get the vanquish chassis mounted servo for the steering, panhard bar, and convert to 4ws.


Thoughts?

Looks good. I have just finished assembling my kit and suggest you also get the Robinson Racing idler gear #1551 and one piece lower #1555 and a set of MIP driveshafts #11116. With that power combo, you're going to need them sooner than later anyway and the gears for sure are a PITA to change later.

Next stop for me is upgraded steering linkage and drag link (probably make the drag link)

Do you already have batteries and a charger?

You can check out this servo for a bit of savings: HS-5995TG Servo

I added those gears and driveshafts to the list of things to get. Might as well do it the first time.


I already have a Venom pro charger and lipo batterys.

That servo looks like a pretty good deal. I might get that instead.

Also is there a reason you are going brushless instead of brushed?

His motor and ESC choices are very nice. Great speed, good low speed. Read the sticky for more info.

I wasn't saying there was a flaw, I'm just curious because I was thinking about that combo but decided to go brushed.
If you were telling me to read the sticky then I'm way ahead of you.
And by that I mean I have read your sticky. Not that I'm actually ahead of you... because I don't even have my kit yet

I chose the combo because of Harleys recommendations. I read all the sticky's and MANY build threads and chose the ones I wanted.

Low speed is nice but I wanted a bit of wheel speed for the dirt/rock hills I have.
