HYPER-BOY Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Decided on a Wraith, next decision is RTR or kit, I know very little about these machines so with the knowledge I have from 1/8 buggy and truggy it would be a kit as most RTR's need upgrades out the box, unless anyone tells me different? What you reckon? If a kit what esc and motor would you go for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Have a read of A.J's Wraith build thread, it's about the best i've seen. Period... http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/186345-ajs-king-of-hammers-axial-wraith-build/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Kit is definitely the way to go, there are a couple bits I would upgrade as you build and they would be Metal steering links, VP or RC4WD Metal gears for the centre box, Robinson Racing or Hot Racing Convert over to 32dp spur, using a Traxxas 56t Slash spur and a 11t pinion Alloy servo horn, I use a small Answer RC one And if budget allows get MIP centre shafts Also the shocks can be a bit hit or miss, some have issues with leaks and some don't lol Then replace/upgrade stuff as you break it Electrics wise... A decent 27t brushed motor Tamiya/Team Brood/Holmes Hobbies Brushed ESC to run 3s, the stock Axial Esc can run 3s fine if used with a external BEC or Holmes Hobbies BRXL 20kg+ servo And a BEC of some sorts 3s lipo of standard size, I run a Gens Ace 3000mah 25c and get up to around 1.5hrs run time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
