gti power Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 So as some of you will be aware from my previous post not so long after selling my Axial scx-10 Land rover D90 build I've started to regret it and have began to look again at buying a G2 to build another Defender. Now a spanner has been thrown in the works after a very good friend of mine has offered me his Axial wraith Which he bought around 18 moths ago and hasn't used for very long at all, literally i bet he hasn't ran a fully charged battery flat! I'm tempted to get The Wraith mainly to see if its a flash in the pan again and to see if I'm just needing to scratch an itch or if ill actually stick to the hobby if i spent out on a G2. I know the Wraith will be a more capable crawler than my previous scx-10 build and the possible G2 I'm looking to purchase however i love the detail and scale looks of the defender ( its literally what drew me into the hobby to begin) this maybe a positive in the sense if its more practical for the intended use then i may enjoy using it. I feel i spent a lot on my scx-10 and i lost a lot of that when i sold it, what up grades would be essential on the Wraith or is it best to replace when required? I notice there are different versions of the Wraith so i need to check which one my friend has, did they all come with the light pack? i know he bought it in kit for as he likes building and detailing them and i think that is pretty much the only reason he got it. Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated, also what would you say is a fair price its RTR but only on 27mhz without a battery?

russruss123 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I also sold my scx 10 and I'm in the same situation of missing it. I'm thinking either a wraith or a bomber kit. I'm not sure which way to go but I have always wanted a wraith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupar Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) I had an SCX 10 dingo kit that i regretted selling and was almost going to pull the trigger on a Gmade R1 but decided to go with the Vaterra Ascender instead. I think i made the right choice as its the detail side that lures me the most. Mind you there's plenty detailing to be had on a Wraith.

AlphaZero Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 You could argue that the wraith are more scale than a scx10 out of the box, if It was me I would go for the Bomber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
