Wreckluse rc rock crawler info!

[Joshperin]

Hey guys i have been deciding on two trucks.... I like the timberwolf and the wreckluse but the timberwolf looks really top heavy ... So for the wreckluse what would be the best but cheap axles for it ? Thanks

[bigstu]

Wrecluse with Axial axles and trans. Set her nice and low, with lots of droop..

[Joshperin]

Would the tRex 60 fit ? Cuz they r cheap :P

[Joshperin]

But what other transmisson could i put in it cuz i cant find a wraith one:(

[crazy bout crawlin]

U could use rc4wds v2 tranny pretty strong or i think theres holes drilled for a ax10 tranny not sure though never tried ax 10 tranny

[crazy bout crawlin]

The t rex 60 axles are cheap but to make them. Crawl worthy u must upgrade drive axles and diff pinion both will let u down if u plan on crawlin anything bigger than a stone but once upgraded are trouble free and pretty durable. I have a timberwolf chassis and t rex 60 combo the set up is very decent not very top heavy at all just gotta weight the rims the timberwolf though does not come with a body or panels the recluse does

[Joshperin]

What links would be good for the truck too ?

factor in plenty of gears when you calculate costs ;)

best answer to your questions, go to the scale 2.2 section and search for wreckluse. there are tons of builds there with parts breakdowns. will give you lots of ideas. they make a killer looking rig when done right.

This will help Wreckluse Feedback, Support & FAQ
Start with recommended links an go from there. The skid is a direct bolt up for Axial trans. It is nice to have the spur cover. Plenty of AX10 trans on ebay. You'll pay extra for a Wraith tranny

[rcrawler13]

I had the same dilemma, which one did you decide on?

[Postclanker]

Wreckluse....wraith axles and tranny, 35t HH, hand made links, MIP shafts
Enjoyed this build very much

[blakeski]

heres my wreckluse,custom yota hood on axial axles... i have a build thread to lots and lots of pics!

[Joshperin]

I think i decided on the timber wolf cuz im only a kid and im nit the best as building so i think its best for me to have tue timbereolf because all the axles and everything else is there

If your not the best at building then this hobby may not be for you. Both the wreckluse and the timberwolf RTR will involve maintenance, repair, and rebuilding.

Those axles that come with the timberwolf aren't very strong and won't last long compared to a set of axial axles.

Trust me, if you bought a timberwolf then you most certainly will have to 'BUILD' something sooner or later to keep the truck running.

True, but something closer to "ready to rock" is probably better than having to fab right out of the box. This way he can ease into it and learn as he goes.

I agree, but do you think a RTR SCX10 might be a better choice for a not so good builder to learn on as opposed to the RC4WD stuff?

[TrailDawg362]

It's hard to beat an SCX-10 or similar RTR's for ease of use and noob-user friendliness, but the Wreckluse and RC4WD trucks do have a certain coolness factor that's tough to resist.

[Joshperin]

Im not that bad i had a tamiya tundra built for me and i have upgraded to a 4 link supension with a kit ... And i wouldnt want a scx-10 . I want something that will challenge me

[TinkerTime]

Hey guys got a question. I just got mine up and running its using leftover wraith parts. The problem is I have no torque. did you guys change the gear rate or something? Mines every bit as fast as my scx10 but has almost no climbing ability. I havent swithched to lipo yet want to use up my batts I have. Anyone got any ideas? heres a link to my facebook my pics are on there. https://www.facebook.com/daniel.kersey.982
