New Wraith

[Heckler]

I really like the new body AND the interior, a fresh new look! It actually looks a lot like the new Jeep Grand Cherokee!

Screams bmw to me.

I don't know where or who make different fronts for the ICF wheels ? Sure you can change them but to what, the same? That is just pointless, to offer a wheel option but have no other option .

So far they have the race lines, walker Evans, and now these methods.

[realsickclown]

Right, but you can't just a set of faces like a new set of outer rings. You gotta buy the whole wheel. Nor that they are dependable, it just should not be a selling point and found it misleading on the poison spyder. That's all.

Is this the best that they can come up with to improve the wraith? I think my next rig will be a Vaterra Ascender. A hell of a lot better out of the box than any scx10.

Well I can say that I would use the the phrase "A hell of a lot better out of the box". It is a nice truck, but has it's pros and cons over an SCX. They both serve a purpose but many times, the SCX would still be a better decision.

The Wraith is probably my all time favorite rig. This rehash is alright, I do like the interior option, as for the body, that's just a preference thing. Some people this an SCX Rubicon is more scale than a Wraith, where in reality I don't think any Axial is more scale than the Wraith.

Axial says the new body is compatible with the SCX10 and AX10, I wonder how long it will be before there is a spawn version of those too.

[Johnnysplits]

The biggest con I could see right now for the Vaterra is that it just came out and I can't upgrade the hell out of it like I did with the scx10. I'll wait until the market floods with aftermarket parts before I get one. Now if Axial made the axle width somewhere between the scx10's and the wraith's, that would make me happy.

I like the body....IMHO, it appears styled from a Land Rover.

[maslin]

It's begging to be a truck.

^^^^^^ ive been thinkin about that all day!!! Imho im really diggin the new body and interior,i think its just enough different-ness.i know my wraith is going back to a regular cage and this body!!!

[CrawlrKing]

I just got the previous version of the Wraith and don't regret as I see no real change to it.
I can understand cost reducing but a few things could have been done to the design without price dropping. For example, most of us buy the wraith today to make it an U4, KOH like rig - the PS version seemed to guide us towards it -: why have they kept that square shape of the rear tube cage when everyone tries to cut it to have a more scale appearance or place a 5th wheel ?
I also really hope they took care of those plastic hubs...
The body, not my thing but to each his own !
a few easy to bolt up, smartly designed to allow scalish look parts (5th wheel, winch mounting support, trailing arms) would be to me better options...
Buy a Yeti ? Prefer the look of the Wraith though...
Long live the Wraith !

[tacocat]

Im pretty stoked about this! im going to be buying that new body for sure. Now all i have to do is order the cage parts to reverse the fastback mod on my rig. Its a bummer they kept the 20t they should have just done the 27t that will actually last more than a few packs.

[mr4x4king]

Seems like a few updates and changes but will they actually change anything before they come out I did not see a release date unless I missed it

Now this look I could like. Thats one thing I never liked about my Wraith and any others is the "Stationwagon" look.

If You ask me, I think it looks more like the Range Rover Evoque Coupé.....

[im gunna crawl]

I thought it looked like a range rover too. But an older one like a 1989 ? The tall tired one I think they got 16 in wheels and the old Buick design aluminum v8 engine ,but with fuel injection. Solid axles. I think they may have alloy body's???

[Naysay3rz]

sad to say you can not remove the driver an i think its fix on the cockpit... The reason why i choose wraith bcoz i love to used action figure as a driver...

[rm25x]

Not a bad truck, just SMH at the dumb name.
