Harley's Axial Wraith Build - Jimmy's 4x4 Ultra 4 KOH Style

[Brandon]

Sorry if I missed it Harley, but are you running just a single BEC? None?

When I ran dual 9157 servo's on mine it was too much for the single BEC. Maybe run 1 servo of the esc and the other off a BEC.

I haven't crossed that issue yet since I haven't really amped it out yet. I could run the rear steer of the ESC since it will have less draw on it. That would also free up the BEC spot on the RX to plug the lights back in to.

The other option is to run this BEC Pro I got from Holmes awhile back. It's just a lot larger and would be a little more of a pain to hide.

im looking forward to seeing how you wire 3 servos, brxl, rx, bec, and lights on 4ch's!

Channel 1 - Front Steering - Signal only
Channel 2 - BRXL
Channel 3 - Rear Steer Servo
Channel 4 - Dig Servo
Batt Slot - Lights

BEC - Wired Direct to front servo

Could you do me a big favor and take a shot of the truck from directly over head. I'm shopping for wheels and I'd hate to buy the wrong offset hubs the first time! I'd like it to stay as close to stock width as possible.

Did you end up trimming the rear axle shafts to run the 350 hub's on the wheels?

 

[Harley]

any ideas on how to acheive all those and a winch?

Only if you link the front and rear steer with a reversing harness.

Just a hair is needed with the SSZ's. I am running 475's now though.

Thanks I'm gonna order mine this coming week.

Or you could tie the winch to the throttle channel and use a switch on the rig to turn it on. Winch when you throttle, it could work out pretty well.

Alright, I finally got moved into my new house over the weekend. It was pretty exhausting!

Now that I am in though I can slowly get back to working on everything. I have a whole shop that I have to setup now though so progress will be here and there. The first thing I am getting done is getting the wiring buttoned up so I can run the rig with the new setup.

Hopefully it is all wrapped up by Friday so I can run it this weekend at our local comp which has a ton of great terrain for it.

1/10th scale accessories will still look pretty good in general. The Wraith could still be considered 1/10th, it would just be a big truck :lol:

I remember reading in a back post that you said that this vehicle is LARGE and thats why it looks so good with 2.2's on it, is it scale to 1/10 accesories(winch,hi-jack lift, gas cans,ect..) or will they seem small?

Josh, with the vanquish steering link did you have any problem with it hitting the diff cover? I am thinking it doesn't work right on stock knuckles. Thanks

If you put it on top if the arm the it clears everything with room to spare. With it under the arm I did a little shaving and it clears just fine.

I tried over the knuckle and it toes out the tires horribly. I guess I'll be getting the dremel out.

Hmm, must just be the difference in the stock knuckles. I just had to clip a couple of the diff cover fins with my snips. Nothing more than that.

That's what I was thinking. The arms must be shorter on the stock knuckles. With the link under the knuckle it doesn't even come close to lock. Oh well, I wanted vanquish chubs and knuckles anyways. Thhuank you for your help!

But runs into a STOCK servo horn unless you rack the chubs all the way forward.

I added about 2-3° more bend to mine, VP knuckles + stock arms, mounted under the arm. Without rebending it the toe out was incredible but that was my choice with the setup until I change the servo and horn. ;-)

I just got a few more pictures from the DMG with some more stock chassis upgrades :twisted: I am sure he will post them up soon or will let me post them. It should really help stiffen up the stock chassis 8)

 

[dubAron]

Did you get this set up installed yet? Post up a video if so I'd like to see this man handling the rig with power.

Package from Holmes just arrived!

13 turn Crawlmaster Pro and waterproof BRXL!

 

[El Rushbo]

Yeah I would love to see a vid. You have some awesome upgrades. I'm considering getting a 4pks and would like to see your setup with the 4WS, Dig, etc. keep up the good work "thumbsup"
