Hello all,
Wanted to start a thread on my Spawn Wraith. I actually bought it, as a kit, built it and didnt run it for a while.
Started with the kit spawn from tower hobbies, if you don't know about tower they have always been the cheapest (that ive found for new off the shelf rigs) They have coupon codes that anyone can aquire and most of the time you save atleast $30 off a new rig @ $300. That being said,
brand new never used 120amp sensored brushless esc, had it laying around I believe it was $24 ebay
as well as a sensored brushless motor I had, if I remember it was only $17 shipped 2700kv ebay
power hd 20kg (277oz torque at 7.4) $27 value hobby
alum servo horn $3 (yes) value hobby
robinson racing 1 piece lower trans gear $25 LHS
robinson racing steel idler gear $13 LHS
Vanquish gear grease (had it already and been waiting to try it out)
That was the start of the build along with the new spawn. Now ive done the all out, throw expensive parts at it before and yes in turn they are very capable rigs, and dont break as often. They still do and thats kinda the whole reason for the things I will do to this one. Modest wraith, keep it clean, without putting tons of money in it.
Heres it done and built.
You might find theres quite a bit of bench shots or random place shots, I have a 3 year old and a newborn now so theres no dedicated spot in the house for me lol.
Living in Missouri, I look forward to the recon g6 in the spring/ early summer. This was built for it and not ran, not even in the house until then. Which was a bad idea.
The start of the g6 through the first couple gates, it got hot and shut down. Nothing, no power, no nothing. I found that the cheap batteries I bought on ebay shorted out, frying the rx which in turn fried the esc. Ended up replacing the brushless with a brushed setup I bought from a vendor on site and away it went.
Once I got home I ordered a new esc. Wired it all up and it was back to being brushless again. I run 3s and thats it, have quite and I like wheel speed. Never had an issue with run times either. About an 1 1/2, 2 hours depending on the situation.
So through one g6 and 2 trail runs on the weekend, everything else is working properly and still on stock gears, c hubs and knuckles.
Couple after shots of the g6, put a light bar on it for the night run, from a deadbolt my brother in law had.
Got a really good deal on some raceline beadlocks off here, I believe they were $60shipped
