Looks good dude I ran 62t traxxas spur and 11t rrp pinion and it worked well with the Pro 4 3300kv . I'd get the hardened 2 speed outputs , Mine died rather quickly and was another reason I went single speed Jack. |

| Re: aqwik69's Wraith build thread.... I wanted the spur gear towards the rear, to put the motor towards the front so the weight stays in the front. Probably not as important on the wraith as it is in the honchos, but I like to be consistent. The 2speed I'm running, can not be flipped like a stock trans, so with reversing the transmission direction, the axles have to be done as well. Last edited by aqwik69; 08-22-2013 at 10:06 AM. |

Took the wraith to its first Scale Endurance run today with the GSRCC crew. I was way happy with how well it ran. |

Of course, my scale driver did not arrive in the mail until yesterday afternoon... AFTER the GSRCC event. Now, I can finish with the dash and steering wheel! |
