Wraith Spawn Motor/ESC Combo

As mentioned before if your really more into bashing a Yeti or Bomber might be a better fit.

A yeti comes with a sensorless brushed motor setup as well.

If you get the Wraith RTR, it will come with the AE-5 esc which is 3s compatible. While not the best esc, it is waterproof and will likely satisfy you fine and is cheap.

I use my wraith for crawling only (Holmes torquemaster 35t, 56/10 gearing, Holmes BRXL esc). I didnt like the low speed resolution of the AE-5, first tried a radio with expo on throttle (FlySky GT3C) and that was pretty good with the AE-5. Then tried the BRXL esc and it was much better.

Just recently bought a brushed traxxas stampede 4x4 for bashing and upgraded to a Castle Brushless motor combo (SideWinder 3, 3800kv motor). I decided to try the SideWinder 3 ESC on the brushed motor wraith and it seems 90% as good as the BRXL. Looking back the SideWinder 3 would have suited me fine although I do like the better BEC on the BRXL for driving the 425oz steering servo.

My recommendation is to get the SideWinder 3 esc and castle link. To get the crawler specific drag brake (213%) option requires the castle link as it cannot be done thru stick programming. With this ESC, you can run brushed or sensorless brushless.

No idea on what brushless motor to recommend. The 3800kv I am using on my stampede is likely too high of a kv for the wraith.
 
For bashing, mudding and general fun the sv3/4 pole 3800 combo is hard to beat. I'd recommend the sct version so the esc had a fan if you plan to run at the dunes.
 
Also plan to get the vanquish stage 1 kit and the titanium rod set uppers lowers and steering which I think should cover Harleys stage 1 upgrades I think

You're going to be real disappointed with that 35 turn motor for bashing. 27 or even a 20 turn cheapie axial motor would be closer to what you want to do.
 
You coud also try out the traxxas 550 21 turn, thats what im gonna try out in my wraith first. Shoud be decent fast and torque? It is a cheap motor so worth a try.
Got a brushless system in backup if it dissapoints.
 
I have good luck with Integy 35x1 motors or the 27 turn Holmes expert series motors I run them both!!

I still have the same 55 turn integy I bought around 2002 and it's still running great. The 35 turn integy I bought a couple years ago isn't as hhappy. :lol: It runs ok but the armature is a bit crispy after the last day running it on 3s.
 
sweet, so how about gearing, whats a good general spur and pinion combo, was just gunna do stock but i can't find a steel spur in stock teeth.
 
Well I went and did it I have a wraith spawn kit and some upgrades on the way.....be paying it off for months....lol. so what connectors do I need to hook up the Holmes torque master BR-XL esc to the Holmes brushed motor?
