Poison Spyder wraith, good buy?

[RatBoy D]

Hey guys. Was looking at maybe expanding my rc collection (even though I probably shouldn't 🙄😂). Was looking at maybe getting the poison spyder wraith. Was wondering if that would be a good buy or not.

Thanks

I like mine. I ran it stock for a long time before upgrading. The only thing I broke was the center gear in the trans. After that I just started to upgrade. I say it's a good buy.

That's the wraith I started with and its a good choice. There are a few upgrades you'll probably have to make after a few packs if not sooner.

-replace servo with somthing stronger
-replace motor with 27t or higher and replace the pinion gear to bring the ratio to at least 5:1
-replaced tranny gears with metal gears.

Those are the things that let go almost right away. Some people get lucky and don't need that stuff for a while so YMMV

I purchased one when I got back into rc . Good for bashing and started to make a Ultra 4 Rig .
I like mine and now I want a scx10 ll

Yeah that's probably what I would do anyways because my friends had the spawn and he burned out two motors because he had it geared wrong.

love my Wraith but its a money pit. You will upgrade this, then this will be the weak link and you will want to upgrade it. Then someone has a cool scale piece you want for the "look" so you buy it. $1,4oo later and its probably eventually going to go through another transformation. Its Fun but expensive. Be prepared to invest about $500 to get it up to snuff.

Money pit?

You will pay to play !
I'm at around $2,400 with my 1.9 Mini Beast and still not done !

Don't worry i know that these things are money pits. I have a Scx10 and an Ax10 Deadbolt and only one is normally running at all times so that's why i need another one
