    I'm not to sure I picked up my 412 from a local guy at a nice discount. I'm not sure how much the difference is in the shaft but it hasn't given me a problem yet and I'm not to easy on mine haha.

    Got my new wraith spawn today and the esc went up in smoke when I plugged in the battery. Axial is sending me a new one, but I have a feeling it will take a while.

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good waterproof esc for what it's going to be a semi-crawler. I plan to stick with brushed motors.

    Thanks! I ended up going with a Tekin FXR with 35t motor and will waterproof it myself. Couldnt find the Holmes esc on Amazon (I am using an amazon gift card), so I decided to go this route for now.

    I have that exact combo in my G-Made R1. It is an excellent crawling system

    I've put an 80t in my Wroncho. It's very slow. A high turn count yields more torque.

    Thinking about going with a 35t for my deadbolt. I think 55t will be a little slow for a trail rig.

    It's pretty much done. I got bluemonkey links on the way and vanquish axle shafts. Other than that it's got diamond axles, I forget which drive shafts I got but they have help up great, mamba max pro with tekin 412, vanquish steering, fully built Trans, arb locker and bevel gears, aluminum 3 piece beadlock, and tsls. I'm sure there is stuff I'm missing haha

    Back in the game. Picked up a poison spider wraith the other day with mip's, aluminum steering links, axial beadlocks, 2.2 swampers xl's, Baja claws, and pitbulls. Thinking about cutting up the hilux body on my scx10 and using it for panels on the wraith. Also gonna fastback it in the next few days
