The Crawlmaster is a 13t 5 slot armature which is similar to a 27t 3 slot. This is easier on the stock ESC than the stock motor is.

So Harley, that must raise some eyebrows in airport security when you plop your Wraith up on the conveyor to be scanned...

I've flown many times with RC cars and it's a 50/50 shot if you get the 3rd degree or not. Dressing nice, shaving, and throwing a magazine in the bag with the trucks normally helps speed things along. The comp rigs are the worst because they don't even really look like a truck, just some robot that has wires everywhere!

I basically got raped by TSA while doing some business travel a few weeks back. For some reason I had an old lipo charger in my luggage that I forgot about. When they initially asked me about it I had no clue what they were talking about.

God bless 'Murrica!

PS. sorry to thread jack

What do you do about lipos?

When traveling? Put tape over the end of each deans plug and put them in my lipo sack and then carry it on.

Flying to ECC on year I was in a hoody with a half beard going on and some blood shot eyes. I felt like I needed to tip the TSA agent after that pat down...

When I flew from Roanoke Municipal to Charlotte a few weeks ago the tsa workers at screening were talking about going postal.

Don't get me started... I think we've derailed this thread enough.

What is the torque difference between the new motor and stock motor?

Will the original Wraith set of lights fit the Spyder?

It has quite a bit more torque, not quite as much as a 27t TorqueMaster Expert (3 slot) but more than stock. However what I like most about the CrawlMaster motors is how much smoother they are than a 3 slot motor.

The headlights would have to be modified. The regular RTR had them on the hood bars which would be behind the body on the PSC. The tail lights and bumper lights would fit in the stock locations though.
