Uh oh! Officially started my wraith build!

[bobaloohoo]

I put some 2.2 boggers on it with a 1258 savox digital coreless servo with a sidewinder SCT 3800 brushless esc/motor combo. Its coming along pretty good!
Now to machine my own custom 4 links and chassis!

+1, Woodie! Pics or it didn't happen!

 

[bobaloohoo]

I know it doesn't have the scale look but this is gonna be a work in progress taking a few months. Next payday ill be buying titanium rod to machine my own links and cage.
AFTERWARDS! Curry axles if i can get ahold of some

Looks pretty good, but I think you'll find you need more servo than the 1258.

i went out and ran it yesterday and to my liking this is plenty, Its been bound up and steered just fine in tight spots. This is just a servo i has sitting around so if i need another in its not going to hurt me any

Put a Savox SA-1230SG in it

i have 2 1258's, both were un-used to about 3 months. When i get tired of these ill go bigger

That thing looks bada$$ with those tires.

How fast can one of those go? Or is it geared for crawling only?

 

[bobaloohoo]

right now i got 38P 14/84 gearing and the motor is tuned for the slowest speed allowed and still hit about 25mph. i gotta feather the throttle a lot. thinking about dropping the pinion to 10t

 

[Greywolf74]

yeah the wraith is kind of a hybrid if you will. It can be made into an ok crawler or it can go at a decent clip depending on how you set them up. I believe some people call them "rock racers"

 

[BanditDarvel]

So is the Wraith better then scx10?

I like my 1270TG to be honest

As for the Wraith being a do it all rig, it can be close to do it all, but high speed handling still suffers when cornering. That's where the new Yeti comes in. The Wraith can also be a lot like a boat if you're not careful. Just a hole that keeps devouring money. LOL

 

[Greywolf74]

in what aspect?

Yeah if you're running a HV setup that would be a really nice servo. Its about 25% more expensive though.

Mine has been HV since day one.

I guess in that kit it would make since to go HV since it runs on 2S any way doesn't it?

 

[bobaloohoo]

Went and bought some sheet metal yesterday and I'm going to make my own custom panels, i know people do it. Thinking about powder coating it black or white, not sure which one yet. Gotta get some beadlocks to match though.

 

[Greywolf74]

White! theres plenty of black wraiths already

How about a pink "My Little Pony" theme?
