All the wheels I've done for Eddie, and there have been a lot, but Eddie and Travis have the only 1" sets I've done with my method. That's the only special thing about them. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose |

Tie for a long overdue update, no pic, no tech, just talk. The Good: It's freaky how nimble this thing is for such large truck. A combined 90* of steering makes this thing turn on half a dime. Dig is purely used for climbs. The puller & BRXL are putting down the power in a smooooooth controllable fashion. It's so easy to drive on 3s, and I have pretty long run times with the 850mah run in parallel. The Bad: 6s is a no gp. The thing will just torque twist itself into a pretzel. That combined with immense acceleration, it's pretty impossible to control. The Ugly: Durability has been good so far. I think the delrin lowers have acted as a cushion, absorbing some of the abuse the big tires and high torque cause. I do have some Ti lowers being made for this though. The steering components have gotten a bit sloppy. Mostly the C hubs where they bolt to the axle. Could be a combo of the plastic slot for securing it, as well as the case holes ovaling. I installed some Wraith beef tubes in my sportsman, and they are a perfect solution to that portion. I'll probably look into some Chinese knockoffs to replace the C hubs & maybe the knuckles. Otherwise, everything seems fine. |

Great work I have been watching this unfold. I am impressed with the use of the axles for a super. It would be nice to see some more stuff pop up for them.

Got any Video of this thing? I've always wanted to build a super. Since I just got a wraith in trade and I'm not really into scalers, I might try something like this. Does the gearing seem okay with such big rubber?

| Re: My AR60 Axled Super Class Shafty. Ready To Run! Hey man. Sorry I've been sleeping on this thread. No video, but this is on fun truck to drive. It's so nimble for it's size. The Puller has more than enough juice on 3s to turn those wheels no problem. What i seem to lack is servo power, esepcially in the rear. If I rear steer while trying to setup a line on a n uphill, it struggles to re-center itself.

Wow I was just talking with Delmonte yesterday at the OC comp about building something very similar to this rig. Cant believe I havent seen your build yet as I have told a few guys in our WCRCC club that I have been wanting to build one of these for a few months now. Yours is looking real good. I think we can start up a class with these as they are relatively inexpensive to put together compared to our Supers. We could have a MID size super class that many more people can afford to compete in. Im going to get one together and see if a few guys in our club want to have some fun with them. I was thinking 13" to 15" would be a nice range for the wheelbase. Keep us updated on durability. Last edited by Illeagle; 05-21-2012 at 03:13 PM. |

Well I was thinking of more leaving it a class where a stock wraith wheelbase "could" compete in it, thats why the 13" wheelbase. I have something different in mind for tires than what you are running but I'm going to keep that hush hush till the build. |

Very sweet. I was always wondering why noone has built a rig such as this. I have one myself, but its a little on the heavy side and without rear steer. I am working on putting it on a diet and hope to shoot for a RTR weight under 10lbs. Maybe add rear steer. But for sure, the drivetrain will handle super size tires and wheels. I have never seen super class crawler binds that would be beyond the strength of the wraith drivetrain. I have a 1200kv roc 412 and the downhill throttle is not great. I use 70% db to roll down inclines instead. Stay brushed. (im sure you know that) I think the biggest thing that would make something like this even better is a lower ratio overall. I think the reduction of the wraith components is barely adequate for tires 7"+. Very Cool and Unique. |

do you have a problem with torque twist with the chassis?
