| New wraith kit w/ new FXR.. sell FXR and get BRXL?
Im not sure whats the best idea. In addition to my other fast 1/8, 1/5 and newly acquired SCX10 that got me addicted to crawling, I just bought a new wraith kit with a new Tekin FXR and 35T motor for pretty cheap. Should I keep the FXR and build my new setup as is. Or as I was thinking, just selling the FXR/motor and then putting in like $70 more and buying a Holmes BRXL waterproof and TorqueMaster Pro 35T? And then be good to go forever, with my Wraith with BRXL/Pro35T Hand wound for less than the cost of a RTR Wraith. Or even just put the FXR into my SCX10 and just spend the 170 and get the BRXL+Pro35t? @#$%! Axial got me addicted now and confused on where to drop even more money. |

Tough questions! If you intend to keep the SCX10 and the Electronics in it are sub par then I'd put the FXR in that and get the BRXL for the Wraith. |

Its hard for me to let an RC go so im definitely keeping the SCX10 and i run it on 2s with the stock AE-2 ESC havent had any problems yet, but I know ive really wanted to try out the Holmes BRXL and Pro motor recently after reading around here so much, I want to be able get my truck super muddy, drive in creeks, etc, in addition to crawling around house and rocky trails.

The AE-2 is good actually. Much better than the newer ESC's Axial use. I run the AE-2 in my Wraith with a Castle BEC on 2/3s. It's over 3 years old now, had had a lot of use and is still trucking!

Thanks for great input, i think ill just keep the FXR as spare ESC for my crawlers most likely and buy the BRXL for the wraith. FXT will get tossed in my spare expensive ESC bin with MM2s and XL2s. | |

Yeah. The AE-2 is Castle Creations. The newer one is a Chinese piece of junk. Haha.
