Default Wraith version 2.0, what would you like?

Personally i would love more suspension travel but with a lower center of gravity and that the chassis would come strengthened in know stressed areas (i've changed #AX80074 4 times now), that the axles came from the factory assembled with fine thread bolts and good lockers (HR are cheap and work great) plus the Universal axles as standard, that it has more clearance on the front between the servo and frame, and a 2 speed bulletproof transmission as standard.

I would happěly spent $350 for a kit version and maybe $450-500 for a RTR, if it comes with a proper brushless motor from Tekin or Castle

I'd love it as a roller with universals, aluminum links, metal locker, and body options. Then drop in whatever electronics you want.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the kit version, other then I wish it included the LED light set and aluminum steering links. It has the better tires, universals, and aluminum lower links in the box. The led kit and aluminum steering links are cheap add on's though.

X2 On the battery and aluminum bead locks. Not on the fast back though. It's an easy enough mod, and not everyone wants it.

I think it would be interesting to see a "Heavy duty kit" that comes with hardened steel diff gears, better lockers, metal transmission gears and M.I.P. driveshafts.

Agreed, but it would be nice that it comes stock with the battery mounted in the right place, and with fine thread screw so it doesn't fell apart after the first 10 minutes of use, etc.

Mine is on Pro4 level power and a 3 cell...cage is still head together by the stock coarse thread screws.

Has about 30 mins on it with not a single issue.

Plus while fine thread is more surface area, those threads are far easier to strip out.

I say continue to offer it with no options or upgrades to keep the price down. Im the type who likes to choose their own upgrades. I just looked at my wraith and about 75% of it is aftermarket parts and the rest of the stock stuff has numbered days
