As far as plastic arms go, sorta like axial rtr Yeti arms? The chassis mount servo is different than a bomber ? Optional on Wraiths

I've never had a single issue with my plastic GMade gears. They're tougher than some shitty metal gears. But, I'd still rather have upgraded metal gears in a rig like this.

Plastic trailing arms on RTRs is common. Kits, like the Bomber, have the aluminum strengtheners included.

Just saw this today and I really want it! Aesthetically I love the way the rig looks. Plus, with them building all the forward weight bias stuff into it it seems to me like it's just a simple battery relocation away from being competitive right away depending on electronics. The axles look great.

I was already thinking about doing a U4 rig, this seems like it could be the one, and for a lot cheaper then my buddies running UCFab or Mattzilla rigs (not that I'm hating on UCF or MZ, I'm just too poor to have one yet, haha)

Not sure where the battery could get much better, I spent a bunch of time to put it there in the Wraith

This is what I imagined the Wraith 2.0 could've been, & what the layout of future scalers should be.

The Bomber is the Wraith 2.0.

If you have other toys, get the GMade. If not get a bomber.
Until parts come out for this one the bomber is way ahead. My R1 had a pile of hoodies available, it might. Take time

I have plenty of toys. Some even already use bomer parts. I'm prolly gonna go bomer just because I can have parts that will fit multiple rigs. Nice try gmade haha. Still a sick looking rig.

I set a google alert for this, so i had it preordered within minutes of it being added to hobbytown's website.

I am amazed by this rig. Seems like they have really been paying attention to whats out there and what we want.

Hex hardware is a good indication of this.

I love that it is in kit form only.. I enjoy the build too much to buy RTR.

Hope it ships soon.. I'm really excited to put this together.

I agree totally. All the R1 shortcomings have been addressed.

Sweet. A mini Vekta 5. Specs look good and the buy in is tempting.
