Wraith Upgrade Questions!

[bpo35]

Hey guys. I just got a wraith today and the upper right link broke as well as the coupler.

I was wondering how the hot racing dress up kit works?
Also I would like to know how to get more articulation, and a few easy upgrades to improve its crawling ability.
Is the MIP Axial Wraith Spline Center CVD Kit worth it? (I think it might be better just upgrading the whole thing for $50 then paying $15 for just the coupler.)
Which tires are sticker and better for crawling the Super Swampers or the Axial R35 Ripsaw Tires?
Which servo would you recommend (For under $60) and what motor would you recommend for crawling and trailing?
If I were to go brushless would it do well crawling, and what brushless set up would you recommend

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I am new to crawling and RC in general!

There is a whole section dedicated to the Wraith. Go there and start by reading the stickies at the top of the page. Everything you want to know has been covered.

Vanquish links are your best bet for quality. Not sure on the HR kits

Switch your springs out for a softer rate spring and your shocks will ride and flex much better

Thinking this is driving style and terrain dependent, but the Rip r35's grip the rocks well

Heard good things about this servo- HS-5995TG Servo
If your going brushless, make sure it is sensored or it wont crawl and haul (Tekin pro4 3300 is supposed to kick ass- youll also need to upgrade your speed control- maybe look at the CC MambaMaxPro

Not a cheap option
