Wraith vs SCX10

[tjohanne]

This is actually RC related, brand specific, but I thought it would maybe belong here under Chit Chat.

Question: Is it just me, or is it extremely annoying to start working on a Wraith when you're used to the SCX10?
The tube chassis is attacking me from all directions, and I can't help but think you have to have 15 long fingers and three hands to do things properly. And hopefully a screwdriver which can bend around corners.

Thanks

Power driver, quality 2mm hex bit, and just pull the 8 screws that hold the skid, life will be easier.

Yeah its sucks, but you get used to it. On the flip side the axles are easier to work on.

lol the wraith is nothing! tons of room and access.
try working on a losi rock rey or HPI twin hammers!

Two different rigs. I have more access on my Wraith than my VS4.
Both have front mounted batteries, the biggest chore is changing a motor and the Wraith is easier there.
Both have Highs and Lows

Absolutely hate adjusting the pinion, simply because I don't like dropping the skid, because I have my brushless wires cut so I don't have a lot of extra wires to hide.


Looking forward to building a wraith spawn kit, employing everything I learned working on my kids wraith. I think the stock setup kind of sucks, but with 3d printing available to me the whole layout has good potential for a very easy to work on truck.


Now putting in the dig unit, lose of the room and extra wires has me slightly concerned, but until I start after Christmas I wont know.

Adjusting isn’t too bad, IF you use a Long allen key , my regular drivers won’t work, the 90 bend is the trick for me
