HiTec Hs-7954
Gens Ace 1600Mah 20C 2S
Traxxas Rx/Tx
Lipo Charger
2 Axial 27t Motors(Fried ESC's)

Is This A Good Setup?

One is enough.

if you plan on doing even a little bit of crawling, i would recommend a sensored brushless motor, i run a hobbywing 3400kv 3656sd. the vxl esc has a sensor port and is already water proof so that should work good for your application. i would also recommend a bigger battery. 1600mah 2s isn't good for speed or run time. pickup a 2200mah 3s. it will give you more speed and run time, and can be had for not much $$. make sure you have a BEC. as far as beefing up for the extra power, replace things as they break.

Thanks. But That is just what i had from my crawler i plan on getting a 5000mah. would that be good?

i run a 5000mah 3s and i have great speed and get about 3hrs of run time. i do a mix of slow crawling and high speed runs. im also running an rx8 ESC. the vxl-3s is much less hungry, so you may get longer run time.

Considering this is the Wraith section.. I vote Wraith!

For what you're aiming for, the Yeti might be the better choice. Will have to get some opinions from people who have both to make an educated decision tho.

Could do a wreti. Search the forums for a Wrexo (Wraith caged, AR60 solid rear axle with independent front suspension from the Exo). That'll give you an excellent idea of what a Wraith & yeti combo can do.

Thanks Cmarcan i would be getting 5000mah 2s. thanks for all the help How Do I Program Castle BEC?
I Am Thinking About Getting The Yeti Now As I Was Looking At Prices And Yeti Kit Is 329.99$ VS 309.99$ Wraith Kit... Hmm Opinions?

I Have been reading lots (Since 2013) so i have a good idea of what i want and what my wallet wants to do Which Is Easier To Build?(Kit Version)
