Axial Racing Jeep Wrangler Wraith Released

[Harley]

Axial Racing - Jeep® Wrangler Wraith-Poison Spyder Rock Racer 1/10th Scale Electric 4WD - RTR



Same RTR with a few upgrades:
New Beadlock wheels with a Vanquish SLW Hub (plastic)
New blue lock nuts
New body
New BFG tires

[Diskfunktional]

Man what an awesome truck! Can't wait for the parts to show up on the bay! I want that body and those tires

[Harley]

I'm looking forward to giving the tires a shot.

[JDCrawler27]

the only thing worth talking about is the new tires and wheels haha everything else is just a wraith,, nice body but nobody runs a rtr body these days, custom paint is better,,

it doesnt even appear to sit lower to the ground, battery up front, nothing that they should have done,

[adamargue]

Really interested in the tires. The wheels look good too. And those lock nuts are bad ass! lol

It does appear to be the same throughout. I like the body, I think it will add shelf appeal to people walking in a Hobby shop. Beyond that, for someone who already has a Wraith, only the wheels and tires seem to be of note.

Does this mean that the hubs are plastic or just the wheels?

[tdevilman2009]

the hubs look like plastic I gotta say not that impressed. they should have left the body clear that blue is ugly maybe a diff shade

Plastic hub. At least the VP hubs will allow adjustment and replacements.

You understand it's a replica right? The Poison Spyder Venom One wrap was the original design.

[MotoSoul]

Looks good. Now the question becomes when will the tires be available separately?

[jhghah]

I am so glad to see Axial go back to beadlock wheels. And the tires are sweet as well.
The body does not look like it would be easy to do an open hood with.

[Pita]

Should be a kit not RTR.

Agreed, looks like under-hood access would be quite a pain in the ass.

[adamargue]

Harley, do you know anything more about the tires? How tall? I'm assuming 5.5.

5.5, and I believe they will be the sticky compound on both the RTR and replacements (unlike the Ripsaws). Need to confirm that though.

[ZippoMan]

I want the body and that is all!! I have 2 Wraiths and that Jeep style body would fit nice!!

[Philster123]

Pity they couldn't slope the actual tubular back and include spare wheel/tyre if it's supposed to replicate the one in the video...

[Chiphead]

Reading up on it...meh, it's the same ol' Wraith.

The tires are cool the wheels are interesting, until I read this line, "Plastic hub adapter eliminates the need for an aluminum hex hub". What is that mean? Are we going back to no hex hubs? Bolting the wheel to the drive pin?
