I just got The wraith and my question is can I run a nimh battery and then run a lipo without changing any settings? Thx Robb

Of course you can run both but check your ESC because if it s the stock one, AE-2, it s factory setup on lipo cutoff so to chnge that,you need castle link

Just got my first crawler, the Wraith, and wanted to say thanks for all the helpful info. Looks like I'm going to get bit by this one now too. This is going to be fun
Check the Vanquish section. There are some pics and such in there. It is pretty easy to do.

Well, took mine out yesterday and "accidently" submergerd it. Thank you guys for the waterproofing tips, cause it's still running. I actually didn't do anything to the esc, but it's still running. I don't think it went completely under, but there was definetly water utp to the seats. Man it was fun!! Most fun I've had with my rc stuff in a LONG time.

You need a BEC probably.

Picked my wraith up last night and man is this thing a blast!! One of the best rtr rigs ive bought, had to do a little trimming to get the lipo I bought to work but was crawling and smashing across the back yard all night.. 2s lipos are almost a must!! getting some tires and wheels from the lhs tonight!

I have the stock motor and ESC. I have ran a lot of 6 cell NIMH battery on my Wraith with no issues. Today I ran a 2S 30C 5000MAH Lipo on my Wraith. Same Lipo that I use on my Blitz and Slash but after 10 minutes, the Wraith started smoking so I pulled the battery off as quick as I can. What could be wrong? What do I need to do now.
By the way, I took the same battery and tried it on my Slash and it ran another maybe 5 minutes.

This maybe a bit of a noob question. I just in stalled a Castle BEC on my wraith just like your first diagram. I set the bec to 7.4v wich is the high end of voltage for my Hitec servo. It steers awesome now! I notice several people recomend wiring the bec directly to the servo so that the reciever dosen't get the bigger voltage. My rig works good so far but now im worried ill fry my reciever. Any advise on this? Its a 3 channel Flysky reciever, 3s, mmp, brushed motor if that helps. Thanks in advance!
Sorry if I missed where this was covered. I'm trying to figure what hd gears to get. Im thinking of under gears in rear but not sure if I should run them in the front too. I would like to get opinions from people who ran them and get the pros and cons of running under gears in the rear only.

got a week and several packs through mine and finally killed the stock servo, they do not like weighted sticky tires. now motor is going out, any suggestions
I have ran mine through the RX for a long time with no issue. When you start running multiple servos then I can start to see the concern.
Likely fried the motor. Take it put and see if it smells burnt.
Different ratios front and rear can aid in reducing torque twist, help reduce your turning radius, and help with steep climbs.
Negatives, it introduces a small amount of bind into the drivetrain. This isn't a huge deal really. When you do overdrive front and underdrive rear it becomes more noticeable.
Check the motor sticky.
The bind I was worried about. I will not be overdriving the front. I am using pro4 3300 on 3s. Do you think under in the rear will cause excessive wear or failure?
