Wraith or Summit?
 

I need some help deciding which one to get. I keep going back and fourth on my decision. What I want out of the rig is one that can crawl decent and still have some speed to it. Which they both have. Everything else I am pretty open to. Price is not the issue. Just need some feedback, Pros/Cons, etc.

Axial all the way. The Wraith will get the after market backing !

Wraith all the way.

I forgot to put in my first post, i really like the fact that the summit is waterproof.

They can all be made waterproof.

Here's a guy asking the same question, post 99.

Wraith. No doubt about it.

I like scale & the wraith already has Team3six & rouge elements components making custom interiors. RPP has skins. The add-on potential for the Wraith is going to be huge. I'm waiting/hoping for a kit which I don't see Traxxas doing.

pros/cons traxxas is waterproof but Wraith is less money so for the diff you can WP the wraith. add-on/hop up options on the wraith will be much better/Traxxas is indi suspension vs. straight axle on the wraith/Wraith is more scale looking

Thanks for all the replies, I am leaning more towards the Wraith....As far as waterproofing it, is it just the ESC that needs waterproofing? And is there an ESC that i can put in the Wraith that is already waterproof rather than doing it the plasti dip way?

Summit" if u want To be disappointed.:lmao:

For what you want WRAITH :mrgreen:

yes you can get the traxxas xl-5 its waterproof ive got two of them and they work fine

Wow! What a thread. That one had me laughing. Thanks!

i would go with the Wraith over the Summit

Wraith all the way. way cooler more scale and as said before theres going to be alot in the aftermarket for it!"thumbsup"

If you feel like "Winning" you should go with a Wraith. If you feel like wrenching, you should go with a traxxas

I would roll with the Wraith. eventhough I'm a huge traxxas fan. have slash and rally car which I love, but axial is the real deal crawler company.
btw - I'm a crawling newbie and did the balloon water proof with awesome results, minimal effort.
another thing to consider is the heat given off by many traxxas esc's and motors. my scx10 components don't even get warm.
not sure if this was mentioned, but don't think there will be a summit class in crawling events, but u can bet on a wraith class.

Wraith. You only need one battery and get more run time. The locking diffs on the Summit are cool, but they are buggy.

Wraith

Waterproof is not a selling point. Electronics may be, but any rc is mechanically not waterproof out of the box.

Toss a summit tranny in the wraith if you really want 2spd. Good brushed motors will have low speed crawlability and some top end to them.

I am sold on the Wraith. Thanks guys....As for the 2 speed tranny from the Summit......that is possible? I would need a different Rx correct?
