New Axial - Wraith

[Harley]

so i wonder what the length will be with two short sides??? Perfect for for a scaler im imagining. has anyone asked the same question a thousand times and ive missed it?

Pretty sure we discovered the housing is one piece.

looks killer, love the offset pumpkin and the removable diff cover

Whatever works is fine by me. I'm sure Axial has a reason for going RTR first...they know their numbers better then the rest of us. If this gets more people interested, then it's all good "thumbsup"

I would also prefer a kit, but if the RTR is the only way to get in on this for awhile, I'll get an RTR.



then get a kit later :twisted:

Wonder why they decided with non-beadlock wheels?

Keeps the cost down and they look nice and scale still.

So with all the hype & excitement on this new rig, when is it going to get its own section like the XR10?

 

[klabeaume]

Same here, most of the time you can hock the stock electronics and whatnot for a decent price.

The stock esc is a great, keep it "thumbsup" Its a sidewinder basically

Ususally upon release.

Yes the ae-2 is a nice esc, but it's not brushless capable. If the truck is zippy enough then I will leave it be, but If it's just as fast as say an ax10 then I will do VXL or castle brushless.

By the looks of the video the zip wont be a problem, but I guess we'll be waiting to see. :ror:

Yea it looked pretty quick when he aired it out and then when he pinned it going up that sloping rock. I think the new plastic links must be much tougher than the ones that came on my ax10 rtc because they would be toast in 5 seconds with that much power, I wish I knew what volt battery they were running on in the vids, I hope it wasn't 3s

In the axial one you can see the stick pack in the back. Idk if its 7.2 or 8.4.

It's actually not a sidewinder at all. Different board, different FET's, different programming, not brushless capable, different BEC. "thumbsup"

Really? I though it was closer than that, I know it uses castle link for programming.

 

[Jeepkid]

It dose use castle link for programming. It says so on Axialracing.com

 

[It usually runs fine]

Its made by sidewinder for axial and uses completely different internals. When you bring it up on castle link it has less than half of the options a sv2 does. I hope it was running on 7.2v in the vids,,,then it will RIP on 3s:evil:

 

[TexasSP]

It's made by Castle Creations (sidewinder is another ESC, not a company) for Axial and does use Castle link just like all ESC's made by Castle including the Holmes Torquemaster BRXL.

Can you still use the Castle BEC on the Axial ESC? This guy here
