Dang Marvin...you came out from under your rock. Your chit prolly won't even crank and your bearings are prolly all seized up by now. My Wraith should be here next week as well. I was supposed to have it about 2 weeks ago but had a screwed up trade deal. We definitely need to have GTG soon. |

well the wraith came in yesterday!! This thing is neat! I only have a 1800 mah venom ni-mh battery to play with right now until my Turnigy 5000 mah 2s and charger comes in from china. Its quick, not fast by no means compared to my other rc's but i didnt buy it to go super fast and i know thats only a brushless swap away. With the stock motor and that little battery i have now its so much fun inside the house. Ive been crawling all over the furniture and roommates lol. My dog likes to bark at it too. Outside it'll climb the stack of firewood with ease. Im hoping itll be faster and more torquey with the lipo. But being my first crawler and first electric I love it and Im pretty hooked. Ill be going to the local toys r us or walmart to buy a driver pretty soon.

well I got the turnigy 5000 mah 2s lipo in yesterday and charged it up and wow totally different truck. It has so much more torque with a good battery. Only problem is my charger got rained on yesterday and is done. It was only $11 so not too big of a loss. I already ordered a different one and i should be here this week hopefully, but after around 30-45 minutes of hard driving the battery is still at full power and i love it, keep in mind this is my first electric lol. I also waterproofed the electronics so Im looking forward to some mudding whenever i get a chance. Anyway thought I'd update this thread.
