I hope you are correct! They may not have updated the manual since they changed the hubs on the Yeti. So maybe it'll all come in the box. Lets hope!

With the cage inside, the body should be fine.

But "Spawn"? Not a fan of the name.

Pretty sure those interiors will sell like mad. I know I'll replace the ones in all my Wraiths with one.

I'm curious why everybody is raving about the downgraded interior!

Dumb name and I'm unsure about the body.

They should have just made updates to the current Wraith and maybe gave it new graphics or a better body. But this body? Eh.

I saw that too. Do you even think that motor would fit? Transmission definitely would like that power.

Most 550 motors require trimming the link mount, haven't tried that particular one though.

I like the body, I'll grab one to cut up

I really like that body!!! the second I saw the announcement I was sure I would grab one but after seeing they made it a deadbolt type deal with that esc I'm not so sure it would be worth the minimal price reduction.

What if they would have bumped the price up to 430 and gave it the yeti Electronics treatment. I would be all over that! even a kit version would have been pretty appetizing.

I guess this just gives me a reason to upgrade my Yeti Motor/ESC so I could drop the Vanguard in this fella.

The truck would need a lot more upgrades if you threw the Yeti motor in it.

It's like they didn't really spend anytime for some real upgrades. Love the platform. Just wish they did a little more with it

I agree, I've been hunting for a cool 1pc Interior and here's my answer. That Interior is awesome.

It's already at RPP... well it's not in stock, but knowing them, They'll probably have the first batch ready to go.

I love the interior..It will be great for the custom tube chassis builders....i can see one in a Mattzilla chassis!!
If the shell is run without the windows it will get tore up bad, and fast.

I have a feeling the wheels will be just like the Poison Spider wheels....I wish they would just do kits because we all end up pitching almost half rtr stuff.

Just noticed this, I wonder how much checking they actually did.



20T MOTOR
Tear up the terrain, be it flat out desert, rocky roads or crawling! Easy operation: no tuning, no fuel, no loud exhaust noise. Just plug'n'go! Our design allows for optional 550 size motors to fit as well.

Dumb name and I'm unsure about the body.
Because it's lightweight and has a driver figure in it. One piece, which is easier to deal with. This is one area that Axial actually seemed to listen to the masses about. I was actually going to pull the trigger on some Apache C1 interiors before I saw this. Not as scale as an actual figure, but for me, its a much simpler solution.

And I agree, dumb name. I like the body, but like said already, if you move the battery forward, it'll be a nightmare to deal with.

I will say this, though. I think this body would look pretty sweet on an SCX G6, and it would probably fit.
