New to RC crawling, but eperienced wheeler...
Howdy!
In a former life I wheeled the tires off my Amigo in CO/UT and frequented colorado4x4, pirate4x4, and 4x4wire forums.
FFWD half a decade and a relocation to the PNW (Seattle metro), and the itch has returned to defy gravity through mechanical means and enjoy what nature has to offer.
To placate that itch, I picked up an Axial Wraith Spawn RTR a couple weeks ago that I've been running around until battery charge is exhausted or it breaks.
So far when we have taken walks on trails, and any obstacles/rock gardens I've found to play on around the complex.
Moved the battery (2s 5100mAh) to be width wise at the firewall location, and moved electronics over the transmission skid, under the interior.
Stripping the plastic servo horn upgraded to the Axial AL version, and next trip out the servo sounded like a ratchet so upgraded that to a Savox 1230 with a CC BEC @ 6v.
The plastic pin hub stripped, so upgraded to the AL 12mm hex hub/wheel combo.
Next couple weeks I intend to upgrade the lins (steering and suspension) to the TI version, change out the body panels to AL, and paint finish the cage/chassis, body, etc.
There will be a motor/ESC upgrade coming soon, would prefer to run the 7.4v I have capability of, possibly update to a 3s battery and then start going toward gearing, more metal replacements of plastic pieces, etc.
I look forward to meeting you and learning more about the addiction, having fun so far!
Joined the WARCRC forums, so maybe I will catch you out there.
Take care and happy wheeling! 1:10, 1:1 or otherwise...
