1/8 scale

I love how cheap the turnigy 2100kv is and it flat puts the pro4s to shame.
Revo or max shafts . I'm funning a max on the front and revo rear been running them for about a year with no failures and I run 6s with more power then most crawler platforms could ever dream off.

Robin's tranny gears have been in for a year and half with no failures.

I do seem to go through axle hears fairly regular with shimmed pinions and bushings changed as soon as needed.

Good luck

thanks evan03 i think your rigs are sick, and preform just as well, im runnung two sets of shafts like that front and rear since i made this such a long wheelbase, but my front end is a little shorter thn the rear, i just hope im setting all this up right i havent seen many builds with this chassis.

I run mine with about two inches of free flex...like pick up a tire and that's how high it comes up. That said, I have a good bit more of forced flex which gets used when on the power or when coming down from big air. You're gonna want to do your tuning once you have it running, so you can dial it in for what you want it to do.

getting interested in a build like this but more for snow. Will be following along and trying to learn and get ideas from you guys. Have a Stampede and dig it and am building my first Wraith right now. It's amazing how versatile this platform is. Your ride looks awesome so far!
