Thanks so much for the information, that really helps. My kids and I are used to trying to stay light on our other trucks (mainly 4x4 stampedes and revos) staying away from alum as much as possible and using speed to launch the hill climbs they usually jump up the hills instead of climbing them. The summits we didn't do anything but add the light bars and go to orange springs in the rear and they tear the course up enough we don't even run lipo's in them. So I really appreciate the help I'm having to learn a whole new game, but this technical driving is really hitting the spot after months of destroying the creek with raw speed/power and jumping obstacles instead of crawling them.
Hey guys I've been out of the RC game for about 20 years now. I bought a Wraith and im loving it, but since i've been gone alot has changed. Right now im running a 4200mah 6 cell battery, will going to lipo increase top end? Or will I have to swap out my motor?
I also would like to see a wheel and tire section as thats one thing i'd like to upgrade as well in the future. Seems like the parts and possibilities are endless... i tend to go over board on my real life car projects.... so i hope i can keep it pretty simple with my RC stuff. LOL
Getting my Wraith finally this week.
Just a confirmation, AE-2 can handle 3S lipos without burning anything?
The motor life will be reduced and you need a BEC. But otherwise it works well.
Just watched a YouTube video of the "Un-boxing od a Wraith" and the fella put a Max-Amps 2200mAh 3Cell lipo staright in a Brand New Wraith. He didnt have a BEC, and when he flicked the switch you heard that sweet diddely dee, beep beep beep deedley dee song from the Castle built ESC. The steering worked and no smoke.. Would the lack of a BEC eventually blow the Servo or should it have puffed right away without the BEC ? was he just lucky ? He has tons of HD videos and seems to know his stuff.
