Wraith Beginners Guide

I looked around and have not seen this asked but is there a way to mount a servo winch in the stock chassis?

Look at the end of my wraith build thread...

Can i mount a HS-7950TH servo without a external BEC?
Would the esc burn out?

You need a bec....

You need a BEC. Always.

Ok,i understand i need a bec and will buy a 5 amp bec.
My other question is:
it is not to strog a 30 kg servo?I'm afraid of breaking something at front axle if one wheel is in difficult to turn.
If so maybe i will remain at 10-12 kg servo because on trail roads i don-t need a very strong servo and i do not like crawling where i think is more needed one.
I asked about that servo because i have a very good offer and wanted to upgrade not realy in need of that kind of servo.

I am planning to buy AE3 ESC and Tekin Redline Gen2 Sensored 17.5T.

I use my wraith to extreme offroad

whether the system is suitable for my wraith

The AE3 ESC will not run a brushless motor. Please read the motor an ESC sticky.

Thanks Harley for the fast respond.

This is a consideration for me buy AE3 Vanguard ( Axial Racing - AE-3 Vanguard ESC )

so is it still does not match

Ahhh, the Vanguard. That is a sensorless ESC. Not recommended. Please go read the motor and ESC sticky.

Why do you go for a smaller pack for crawling? I plan to do trails and crawling but haven't quite finished my wraith. So what battery should I get for all around?

I think 2-3ah 3s packs are great for a rig like the wraith.

 

[gbean]

I love a good 3s 40c+ 3000-3300mAh pack. Even for a heavy wraith.

 

[lostonthetrails]

I wanted to run a gens ace 40c 3s 5000mah pack

 

[gbean]

Dimensionally that Gens ace pack is huge. Hard to fit.

 

[lostonthetrails]

I have seen it in many scx10s but idk
What would be a good 40c lipo that fit

 

[lostonthetrails]

What is the max dimensions for the front of the wraith?
What this one?

Very helpful info. Thank you for pages like this, bery informative. I'm basically new to the "newer" r/c crawlers. My experience with something like this dates back to the original Clodbuster, Juggernaut and TXT-1. I decided to buy the kit version (I hate RTR's, no hobby in them) of the Wraith and my first impression is less than stellar. When did a $300 KIT start coming with such things as plastic flanged balls and all the other plastic parts. I understand the need to sell aftermarket parts and upgrades but really? I remember under $100 car kits coming with more metal than this thing. Just wish some of the parts were better quality. To be honest, if I had looked closer at the kit and some of these features, I wouldn't have bought it. I do like the Wraith design, I liked the build and with some of your suggestiong this thing will turn out to be bad a**. With that I say thank you again and keep up the good work from an old "newbie"
