PVO_SRT4's Axial Wraith

[pvo_srt4]

Picked this up today from Kijiji. This guy built it but never used it

He had a Tazer ESC and a Tamiya Motor both which are going.











Tearing it down and seeing what we have to work with

1st mod new rims..axial's 2.2 with the stock tires

also did some re-wiring keeping the Tamiya motor and the ESC until I decide on what to get

[pvo_srt4]

Just won a Flux XS Vapor Pro ESC and HPI 4000kv motor from ebay should be coming in shortly cant wait to install it

[pvo_srt4]

installed the MIP driveshafts and a few other mods including a castle BEC



yes i know this is not the best ESC motor combo but its what i have to work with right now but i will be upgrading to a brushed setup shortly

Flux Vapor Pro with 4000kv motor with 80/20 spur and pinion.....i have 87T Spur and 14T pinion coming in shortly to slow it down



running Savox 1231SG servo had to trim the bumper a bit with a dremel



also got the Proline Chisel tires mounted

Time for a rebuild I've beat on this truck with the Flux Vapor Pro & 4000kv motor for months now and its held up well with no issues. I am going to get a HH Motor and ESC combo just not sure which one as yet

here is how she looked before the tear down



take it apart



the balloons are holding two simple LED's kits, the Savox 1231 servo is a beast time to re-seal the case with silicone







i have all steal internal gears and RR spur gear



the Losi 4" shock work amazing I would recommend them to anyone looking for a fairly cheap shock upgrade





as i said the HPI motor and ESC ran great just it not very practical for a crawler

ooh the good ole days...Ill be back Mr mud pit

I like the mud pic! 2 questions. First, where is everyone finding the windshield light bar? And second, which losi shocks are you running? Part numbers or what they come on? Are you running your shock mounts flipped for lower CG?

the w/s light bar is this one AX30709



as for the shocks im running the lower shock mount reversed gives the truck a LCG....works great and its stays on all 4 wheels alot more than it did when it was all jacked up

the PN for the Losi shocks are LOSA5082, RPP Hobby had a sale on them a few months back for $19.99 I should have bought 2 sets i've kept the stock Losi springs on there but they have a few replacement options for those shocks

thanks for the p/n's! are the losi shocks longer, shorter or the same length as the wraith stock shocks? what hardware did you use to mount them?

here is my thread when i installed them on my SCX10 Rubicon --> Losi 4" shocks

the Losi are 4" (101 mm) shocks
the stock wraith comes with 4.06" (103mm)

not that much of a difference, and i didn't need any additional hardware to mount those shocks.

here is my new PS Wraith, all nice and new wont be for long swapped out my old stuff onto this one

[J_Fitz]

Nice wraiths man.

[pvo_srt4]

new RC4WD 2.2's came in today

[pvo_srt4]

Anyone know which hub to use for these as the ones they come with wont fit the wraith hubs

RC4WD offers 3 of them: Z-S0779, Z-S0774 and Z-S0780
