Ya buts its a hybrid

 

[Twiztid Metal]

I like it... looks like a new build in the future.... Blazer Wraith 1.9's with SCX10 axles and some Rok Loc's...


Maybe some 2.2's with axle wideners... *after seeing the final results on the last page of it*

 

[Twiztid Metal]

I like the Wraith and all but just something about its size makes me not think "SCALE" compaired to SCX10's

It dwarts normal SCX10's and scale trucks, yet more than likely you will see them being ran with thos trucks, Its more of an 1/8th scale truck than a 10th scale...

They look nice but having it next to my blazer or honcho would just look goofy!

Losi just announced the 5ive T, Losi 1/5th scale 4x4 SC Truck. looks pretty good. 1600. BND. I Worry about the Specys and runaways with Gassers, GET A KILL SWITCH ON IT PRONTO! Before you even fire it up, unless you dump the specky, and put a real radio in it. like the discontinued Nomadios or a Futaba.

HPI just dropping info on their 4x4 1/5th Baja. appears to be a Leccy. very little info on it atm.


gonna be looking for axles for my Wrecluse. anyone have anything in Great Shape. still debating between the Losi Worms, or the Wraiths hoppedup.

 

[clayton78]

Oh no Tim's got the crawler bug.

 

[Timmahh]

tis the season. talking to Matt about buying one of my XXXSCBs. then take that money and pick up a wreckluse with it.

and then build the Wreckluse as i go. im still thinking about the newer RC4WD axles. they are designed by someone else, and RC4WD make them using the materials the designer dictated. they are the Ballistic designed axles.

Tim pat and nate have some rc4wd axles they would probley sell ya! But I would save your money and buy axial they are way stronger.

 

[Timmahh]

i know the older rc4wd were pretty cheezy. so i have my strong doubts on the new setups. but i would hope, if the person/company doingthe design was worth their salt, and RC4WD used the materials specified for each specific part, then they would be alot better than previous versions.

those ballastic axles look killer, and according to the discription, are made with better quality materials, but as i said, bad taste in the mouth dies hard.

overall im weighing heavy to the wraith axles hopped up with the RRP, MIP, and Axial upgrades/hd parts. but if those balistics or the D60s were a good and pretty dependable axle system, then i would have to give them a hard look. id like to make the wreckluse as scaled out as i can. as well as maintain durability and usability.

 

[clayton78]

Wow I tried to buy some 2.2 super swampers towers out of them! looks like I'm off to RPP!

 

[Twiztid Metal]

CHEAPER too! well maybe not with shipping...

[Twiztid Metal]

what ya think?

 

[clayton78]

I love my wraith! and if you look at the way it sits its the most scale crawler out of the box you can buy! But I want to step it up a notch! That build is a Gmade r1 plastic chassis! and those 1.9's are as big as a set of 2.2 proline hammers.

 

[Twiztid Metal]

The only pictures I could find........

Looks like the GMADE Chassis.... and i hear the gmade chassis is alot stronger than the wraith chassis... although flex is good, but not being spaghetti

 

[clayton78]

He said that its a Gmade chassis.

 

[Twiztid Metal]

I dont think they ever showed the ending of the build I remember watching most of it, but It came to the end of the season but never seen the rest of it...

and those are the only 2 pictures of it on the web...

 

[m0d3ds1ash45]

id take this build over that gmade any day!
