wraith build questions

[bonosxr]

So I just picked up a wraith chassis and axles
First wraith so just curious what you guys would think of these components want to make a Solid ttc rig
Hitec 7080 servo
holmes hobbies waterproof bec (will it make that much of a difference over am xl5?)
Savage flux shocks running droop
Holmes hobbies 13t crawlmaster
Pitbull xor rock beasts
Picked up the aluminum knuckles chubs lower control arms and steering linkage and rc4wd punisher driveshafts already

Any other must haves?

If it's a TTC then I assume you want power. The XL5 is only really 2s capable so I would not use that.

Metal servo arm, and metal trans gear would be a good idea.

Ya forgot to mention servo horn is already aluminum
Are the Transmissions that bad?

Are the Transmissions that bad?

No, but with a lot of power through them and the list of parts you have listed. With the big pitbull tires, makes the gears in the trans your weak point.

If you are still running the dog bones it the front axle loose those and swap in some CVD style shafts when you do the knuckles. Move the battery up to the front under the hood.

Keep your eyes peeled here:

Midwest - Michigan at RCCrawler.com

Im sure something will happen pretty soon, lots of guys finishing builds (including myself) and waiting for the weather to brake. we did quite a few runs last year.

Won't take long for the dogbones to break. Better go ahead and order some better shafts.

x2 on the trans gears. Hot Racing makes a good, durable, cheap set.

Bunch of guys in the Waterford area in Michigan. Others in Dearborn, etc etc etc..
