My first failure with mine was the front driveshaft. It was also the second failure lol. The steering linkage and servo are also weak points but they didn't so much fail as just didn't perform well offroad.

Did you get the RTR or the KIT? If its the RTR, you may want to tear it down, make sure everything has grease where its suppose to, If it dose. ad more. read through the Wraith section, if its the RTR make sure you check your C-hubs and use thread lock. |

chubs and knuckles were first to go. then a rash of broken lower front links. of course that was after the castle sct system........which also ate a set of rc4wd xvd's. but i do tend to to drive a little hard.

I've broken nothing, then again I've been racing RC's for years, tends to make you drive a bit differently. Upgrades to mine: Links (stock bend and snap), Steering links (the stock are terrible for anything), and Servo...stock one just doesn't have the oomph. Past that I changed the axle link mounts (flip them) to lower the truck down more. Also I moved the shocks inward at the top mounts to lower it more. Now it can actually rock race quite well and still do minor scale like crawling. |

Tighten all of the screws and check the wires on your motor. I noticed my Wraith was way down on power and getting hot quick, did a quick teardown and saw 2 threads soldered on my posts so I re-soldered. Since then, no overheating and gobs more power with the stock can.
