Wraith RTR question
 

I'm getting Wraith rtr, basically stock except some running gear upgrades and has been ran on nimh batteries. I got a Venom 2s 4000 lipo for it already as I have read here that a 2s Lipo is best for a stock axial as it won't fry the electronics or motor., I won't have a users manual so my question is are there any dip switches in the ESC or anything I need to flip on the stock electronics to run a Lipo?, or just plug and play?

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

Should be able to get the manuals you need from Axial, most are available for download on the specific product(s) page.

have a look here....

Axial Racing - instructions

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

At that link, it says the AE2 has the lipo mode set to on from the factory. If you're not sure, get a castle link or borrow one to check for sure. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks all three of you"thumbsup"

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

I run 2s lipo on my stock spawn . Works great

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

But this one has been run a little bit on Nimh, I'm guessing adjustments need made to switch back to Lipo? I have no idea, well I have some but I'm going to call the guys at my local shop tomorrow. They are pretty Axial smart, and Traxxas smart, they should do up their site a little better though, they have a mammoth selection parts for Axial and Traxxas, tons of tires and wheels also and they pretty much have e-bay pricing sometimes cheaper, I gotta give it up to Tom & Giggs in Coos Bay Or.

There are actually 2 different ESC's that have come in the RTR Wraiths, the original RTR and the Poison Spyder come with the AE-2 and the Spawn comes with the AE-5. Just be sure to look up the correct instructions for your speed control. Also you should be able to program the Castle AE-2 without the castle link, it's just going to be more complicated.

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

Good call . Mine is the ae-5 . Can take a pic of the settings if you need

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

Unless I'm way off, the only thing making it "LiPo" ready is the cutoff isn't it? Stock the AE-2 is set to auto, you can change it to none... It probably wasn't messed with, however, here's a link to program it back to stock, http://docs.axialracing.com/instruct...e_AE-2_ESC.pdf

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

with the AE-5 it is even easier to switch to LIPO mode. Have a look at the axial blog for more information.

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

I have a Wraith Spawn RTR. Started off running Nimh, switched to 2s lipo. All I did was move the jumper on the AE-5 ESC from nimh to lipo, didn't have to do anything else.

Works like a charm

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

My spawn and my son's rtr wraith both came set for lipo's from factory. "thumbsup"

Re: Wraith RTR question
 

I run my wraith with 2s lipos great. When I bought it used I went ahead and bought the castle link to make sure it was in lipo mode.
