What Powers Your Wraith?

Current:
Motor: Traxxas 550 12T
ESC: From a Losi SC (Sidewinder V2 is waiting)
Gearing 87/18
CC Bec

Quite cheap Components, but well working !!
 
novak 3s goat
18.5t brushless combo
futaba s9157
traxxas summit tx and rx (to utilize potential rear steering one day, and dig unit on an inexpensive platform)
BEC on esc for 3s setup (novak recomended)



lag what ya think about the novak goat. i just ordered my kit and was looking into that motor.
 
MMP
Tekkin sc4x 7.5

Actually its going up for sale.
8lb rig with Batt and runs like hell. 54/14 32p. Fast and great crawling. Ive never got it wet or hot. I bought this to put in my rig and to be honest its just to much and Im not diggin it. No actually I want somthing else"thumbsup". If you aint noticed Im an addict!

Just more of a crawler than a basher so Im going back to brushed!
 
lol...most people got brushless motor"thumbsup"
But I am running
MMP
35t motor
CC BEC
Hitec 5955
3S
stock gearing


I am afraid of high speed:shock: hahaha
 
sSidewinder SV2
3s batteries
ONSLAUGHT 19T
HITEC 7950


Changed my motor to a 13.5 sensored Tekin. Geared it low and tried a 3 cell. Took about 15 min on asphalt to strip the front stock drive shaft. Ran like a champ on 2 cell. Produced 00% heat.
 
Holmes 13T and Sidewinder in the crawler/trail Wraith. I'd like this just a little faster. stock spur with stock pinion.

Tekin T8/RX8 on 6 cell in the low rider Wraith. On 3 cell it's quite managable with an 87T spur an 24t pinion. Suprisingly crawls about as well as stock but with buttery smooth torque.

:shock: Have any video? Your setup looks fun.
How is the 48p holding up. Have you tried 32p?

was it balistic ?? 3s probably a bit much for a 13.5 with stock stuff...I am considering an LRP/SPX with a 17.5 brushless set-up with 2s...just want to go fast with this thing...have an XR10 for crawling...

The 48P held up well on 3 cell, not so bad on 4 cell. It didn't hold up so well on 6 cell.

No video yet, it's on the bench waiting for 32P gears. I think I'll have to build some 2.2/3.0 tyres like Eddie at Crawler Innovations has done before heading to the shortcourse track for a bash. Will do a video then.

Forsure, Agreed! Need a more rigid sidewall for bashing. Actually gonna try out Crawler Innovations hybrid, looks like a winner!
 
just ordered the kit

Im just getting back into the crawlers/scale rigs.

I didnt want anything too fast and tried to do some research on esc and motors I wanted to have good tire spin and good crawl ability.

I ordered
kit version
TEKIN FXR 35T "HD"
4400mAh 3s 40c


please give my your thoughts about gearing and is this a good combo.

This will be my first 3s and i was thinking that if i wanted to do some hill climbing I could go with a lower turn motor.
 
For now I'm running:

Tekin RS Pro
13.5T redline tekin
19/80 gearing
2/3s



I do have a 13t crawlmaster and bxrl on order to play around with.

I have to say this combo rocks with the stock gearing!

TEKIN FXR PRO 35T "HD"
4400mAh 3s 40c "thumbsup"

I have a super, highlift, and baja 5b this beats em on the fun factor!
 
Tazer 12t ESC
Axial 55T Crawler motor 5:1 ratio
Hightech digital hs-5645mg
Traxxas 2.4 4ch
Dynamite 5100 powerpack

Gives me about 5mph speed, and the torque to crawl. i can normaly run about a hour doing hill climbs, and about 1.5 hrs crawling per battery.

Doesnt see water, or mud.

It was fully hand built, and is one its way to being customized.

I'm running HH BRXL with 20t torque master. Good low end but, a little slow for me. I have a Tekin RS with 21.5 Redline motor and 10.5 Redline Motor to try out. Has anybody tried a 21t brushless on stock gearing? How is the wheel speed? My buddy is running a 17.5 on stock gearing and it is really fast so I was hoping the 21.5t Tekin RS would be good.
