Putting the Pencil Down

[SteveB1]

I'm sure like many of you, the Wraith is an amazing money pit. After this latest set up upgrades, I'm putting the pencil down and not upgrading anything more.

I had kicked around the idea of a Wroncho, but I think I like the classic lines and shape of the cage. During the Gmade MT 2202 tire review, I dropped another $600 into the truck - ugh. That said, it runs very well but it's the end of the modification road.

The Team Garage Hack 2.Low and Castle Copperhead 10 / 1900 kV Slate motor combo is a nice upgrade and worth looking into. The 30% overdrive seems to help pull the front up and over technical rocks quite well.

Nice, I am running the same combo in mine, and love it enough wheel speed to get in trouble, yet tons of low-end power and good resolution. I am running only a mild UD in the rear, and it does help dramatically, I can't imagine a 30% OD.

I think I only have $650 total into mine including the original purchase price.

I love my Wraith, it's quite underrated imo. I've got about a 28% OD just from the Axial gears in the axles and it climbs like a goat. I've sunk a bunch of $$ into mine as well, though it doesn't really need a ton of cash to perform. I was a sucker for those beautiful BGR parts... But it's well worth it.
