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

[Harley]

Have you ran the new aluminum axles yet??

Nope, the Wraith is about to go through an overhaul. They will be under a new chassis.

I just tried my hh11t last night around the house and I would say it just as fast as stock if not a touch more and I'm running stock spur and dropped my pinion down to a 18t. I'll see how she runs like that.

I'd like to know how hot that motor runs with that gear ratio.

An 11t is a little fast for a rig that will see crawling. A 13t is the better setup if you plan on crawling my much.

your the man Harley ! Thanks a ton !

The 10.5 is going to be pretty fast but the RS Pro is a good ESC. I really would suggest the 13.5 or the new Tekin SC4X 7.5 which is around 3000kv I believe.

I had seen a HH 13Turn With the HH ESC in a wraith this weekend How would this compare to the 10.5.

A 10.5 is going to be considerably faster and will likely have less low end.

Let's say it got a little hot, gonna bump the spur up to a 84 if I can

Do you run your rig in the rocks much? It's damn hard on an 11t to do so, just wondering how long you have been running it.

never understood how you guys run a low turn motor... anything less then a 45 and i dont get enough power.

Gearing and voltage chief.

Hand wound motors help too."thumbsup"

And being a 5 slot vs a 3 slot. A 20t Crawlmaster is equivalent to a 45t motor .

Yeah we are usually referring to 5 slot motors from Holmes when when were are talking about sub-20t stuff. Much different then the 12t motor that comes in a slash or something ;-)

After beating on my Wraith for this long I have finally decided it's time for a change. I wanted to run the stock chassis for awhile but I can't hold out any longer.

Going to go with the DMG to build me yet another chassis. This one will be my first around a hard body though...

Here in the inspiration, it will only be loosely based on it however. I will still be keeping my rear steer and it will likely end up Orange instead of blue 8)

Handful of detail shots.

 

[dubAron]

It's gonna change the game!

 

[Harley]

I'm excited to move on to this phase. Since Jerry is doing it we know it will get done too ;-)

I am going to change a few things to be more conducive to protecting the hard body. The tube fenders will be integrated into the front stinger and chassis. And it will also have rock sliders, whether or not they flow into the fenders is yet to be decided.

All I know is this rig should be right down Jerry's ally.

 

[Agama]

Sweet, this keeps getting better. Love it!
"thumbsup" keeping rear steer.

 

[chicklet]

Awesome!

 

[Chaotic Crawlers]

Orange???

That'll be different!!!:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

 

[ROLANDROCKSHOP]
