I am trying to decide between the 13t and the 11t CrawlMaster series motor.
Does anyone have any experience with the 11t CrawlMaster in a Wraith?

So I am going to assume that nobody here runs an 11t CrawlMaster motor in their Wraith.
Well, I may be the first then because I am leaning towards that setup.

I did for a while. It runs noticeably hotter than the 13t, and I could feel a bit less torque with the same gearing. Didn't have a lack of torque, but it needed a bit more trigger to get over stuff. 13t would be my recommendation if you plan to crawl with it, but the 11t is really fun.

Thank you for the reply! I plan to use it about 65% trail / 35% crawling. Would you still recommend the 13t? My goal is for more speed than the RTR version but retaining the ability to crawl for fun. I plan on ordering today if I can make up my mind.

You can't have it all sticking with brushed, but it sounds like the 11t would suit you. Otherwise going to a brushless solution is the best bet if you want more speed and still keep some crawl.

Thanks again for the reply. Are the motor leads included with the motor kits? I could not find the answer on the website.

The deed is done. I ordered up a BR-XL / 11t CM combo.

I don't have much time under my belt with the 13T. But the time I do have, I will say this.... Torque fer dayz! Certainly not the fastest, but I wasn't looking for that. I am 100% happy with the motor. I showed the motor to some of the electrical engineers I work with and they were very impressed by it.

I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised when you run the 11t.

I have it in mine. I can't remember what gearing I went with, went to 32P gear set, 56T/14 or 15T. But it's plenty fast on 3S and crawls fine (still have the stock esc).

I run hh 11 turns in all my rigs excellent motors!
