| wraith no more. starting a new thread
Got my wraith kit sometime around December last year.. Fast forward to now and my interest was dieing . I'd done the mandatory mods. Tranny gears, steering and knuckles, lockers, and found most all mods after that un needed. I run a good amount of power with a 1/8 scale buggy power system 6s at times with paddles. The wraith is tuff for sure. I beat mine more then most (hmmm that didn't sound right) Fresh kit. Pretty much sucked. Had alot to learn at this point Later. Works awesome Today and the frame build that reeled me back in Will add some vid later. Its 10lbs with a 5000mah 2s on board bought the same with a 6s 2200 |

Quick update. First coat of cat yellow Looking at this pic I'm thinking I wanted another bar in the door. Also, didn't shed any eight in the frame belly because it crawls so well. Made some last minute changes on the nose just before paint so I can run a even lower ride height for crawling. Frame was hitting my servo mount just before shocks bottomed out.

| Re: wraith no more. starting a new thread Primer the interior and use the polycarbonate based paint on the exterior. It won't chip, but it will scratch off and rub off (from tires). That'll give the scale look you were shooting for.

It is looking good Evan, now you need to get her fixed and bring it down here. Should be cooling off and we can do some crawling without dying of a heat stroke...

Yes. Still trying to decide what kV motor. 1900 or 2100kv. Think I've decided the motor failed because it was full of sand ;) |

Me to. I think it'll be slightly smoother and I likly won't notice it on 5 and 6 s. Grrrrr watts on 5s 2100kv is specked at 2590. Off course the 1900kv motors what specs patent listed . Actually I bett it doesn't matter give or take 500 watts or so. ;) Here's the 2100 kV motor http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html For those that care these motors look to be copies of the castle neu 1515 series Last edited by evan03; 08-25-2013 at 07:54 PM. |

Looks pretty good. What's that chassis weigh? Looks heavy, maybe just the side plates playing with my eyes.
