newb to the wraith

[Ruggalo]

just 3 quick questions i just need some direction. looking to see if there are any ways to get a full size battery(4400 ma 2s) up front under the hood? how to mount the servo beside the pumpkin? and any easy cage mods? thanks for your time guys. hope this new wraith treats me like my last axials

Quick answer... Search. DinkyRC makes a servo mount like what you want.

[KillerBlackbird]

All of my electronics (ESC, BEC, RX, light controller) are all up front along with a 5400mah 3S.

There should be a few threads and pics if you search the forum. Battery up front helps a lot with climbing/crawling.

I have a 5000mah 2s sitting up front and it fits fine. No worries on that point. Vanquish products have a servo relocation kit too. I thought about getting it, but if you search, there are people complaining of bump steer. It looks good, but I'd rather have better performance.

Not sure what type of cage mods you are looking for. But search around. I'm a noob as I only got my Wraith last month, but after searching and lots of reading I feel like I have a firm understanding about the truck.

No. Not here. Google dinkyrc. They make the mount you want.

war pig is the person that did it and it is on here lol

[TheScaleAddict]

That's not what Meant by not here. I meant that we don't typically act like smart asses... DinkyRc has the mount. I just ordered one a couple of days ago. So whatever... Geesh...

[douglastee]

There are a lot of threads you can follow the builds which mod the Wraith cages, take your time and check out RC Crawler!
Show some pics of your Wraith!
SBG RC is another wealth of information too.
But it is better for you to learn the search how to in the Wraith Beginners Guide.

Here's the link mount, servo mount I was referring to. Very clean and simple design.

Wraith "Dinky Link" S-Type (Front)

sorry i miss understud. my experiances on sbg were not good cause every one just said search when all it would take is a 5 word sentence and same with this forum in the scx10 section when i first started. cant just ask a question with out getting blasted... needless to say the reason why i posted this is usally some one reads the thread and seen something that looked good on another truck. ill keep flying around the form and see what i see but in the mean time if some people see any neet cage ideas or tips im intrested as for the dinky servo mount i like it... silly questiong but are you running it?

[TheScaleAddict]

Not yet... I have a CMS and a panhard, but it has vibrated apart three times now. I ordered the DinkyRC mount, and I am going to set it up with custom suicide switch links. Should perform better.

[Ruggalo]

suicide switch links? sorry really new to wraith just bought it today. i might hold off on the dinky mount tell i get a review? lol. has any one heard of any one building there own four link and do the uppers have to be bent?

[Rockridge]

Have a look at " war pigs all new 34D" thread. Post 470 I believe. I would link it but have know idea how to, Sorry. I believe thats what your looking for. its a completely one off custom mount so, it would require u to do some of your own fabrication. It is a really ingenious idea, that i also borrowed for one of my own builds.


Edit: the zip tie is only there to hold the servo wire out of the way while in mock up stage

I just installed it. It's very well made, and very stout.











The arm clears everything. This is going to perform great.

[ZippoMan]

Actually I found that setup. Funky but cool I guess.

Yup. Don't have them yet though. I'll need to measure first.

Here's the rear, non-servo, DinkyRC link mount.

[Ruggalo]

im digging the dinky mount. that looks sick looking forward to a review. i think im going to give war pigs a quick shot tomorrow if we are slow at work. i have seen rockridges' in person and is a sweet idea too
