My very first build after reading many many forums and advice on here. Purchased the Axial Spyder roller from ebay brand new $250 I have 3 power plants to run this Tekin RS, Tekin rx8 gen2, Speed Passion 1.1 esc. Primarily 3s brushed 35t holmes hobby will run this at super crawling speeds. I'm thinking the Tekin RS will power this perfect and keeps weight down. Thoughts and best location for esc? under the hood? Last edited by Blinkfan5150; 03-10-2016 at 08:19 AM. |

| Most electrics up front has become a spiders nest of things. If I put battery behind firewall which sounds like best location to run a bigger battery, do you guys just make an esc plate to bolt on? Installed my old Savox for 3s hopefully it's going to give me the torque I need. Steering links are ordered. Hot Racing had some nice black ones. |

I run the same servo and it does the job but leaves me wanting more. For the battery I made mine from styrene but will be purchasing one once I install a winch. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

You should have ordered Eddie's electronicso tray for the front of the wraith while you ordered the foams.

I run mine on 3s but spec is only 6 volts for 277oz. I have my bec set to 6 to make sure I get all I can but still find it to be on the low side for how big this rig is. Keep in mind I run 2.2 and it looks like your going with 1.9. Hatefulboy, have a link to tray? |

Wertymade Wraith forward mount battery tray Stub Nose w/Servo winch mount Wertymade battery/winch trays are the only way to go with a wraith. They stiffen the front end up so much and provide a servo winch location, which will be helpful in the future. | |

You're welcome. He was talking about this plate here: Axial Wraith Front Electronics Tray - Crawler Innovations which is a great plate for putting your battery and electronics onto. For my situation, I run my electronics elsewhere and had an extra servo laying around. So turning it into a winch was the best option. Also with the Wertymade plate, it's metal and mounts around four of the frame rails which adds exponentially more stiffness. Just my two cents | |

Yes you are correct. More voltage/more power. Just check to see what the max voltage you can run through your servo and set your BEC to that. Pulling off that internal BEC was a good idea. Also look into a receiver bypass from Holmes Hobbies to hook up your BEC and servo. Also those other things you pulled off are Capacitors. They hook into one of your receiver channels so when you get fluctuation of power through your receiver, they keep it constant. Much like a capacitor in a subwoofer system. If you get the rx bypass then you don't need them at all. If you plan on getting a high torque servo, I would recommend picking a bypass up. Very nice build by the way |

Well she's going on her first climb this weekend. I'm going to use the upgrade when broken theme and see how soon I will need the 10 piece link kits. Still have my 87t spur gear to slow her down a bit coming next week. Still too fast for my taste in 3s. | |

No hill climbing Life got in the way Studying for California Real Estate Exam Why does life always get in the way when you wanna go rc'ing??? I got some goodies in the mail since I flipped a house got some $$$ fun money in. Ordered the Hot Racing steering and full 8 piece link set from eBay $49.99. Also ordered a Level 3 Racing droop/lift kit for anticipation for some new shock Going from 90mm stock to 104mm. The original screw doesn't go back in Hot Racing Steering linkage Hot racing gives us a spacer and new screw to install on new linkage. Gots nice and snug. Started with the lower linkage and found 1.5 Allen wrench on center screws and 2.0 Allen on axle screws. Hot Racing links screwed in tight and measured perfect. Links turned out good. Going crawling on Sat hopefully I could GoPro some footage before/after shocks. I'll try and do the same trails to see before and after. |
