    ^^ My SC10 and Jato need a little bit of work/routine maintenance.

    BUT, I'm gonna get this 3.3 Jato and 3.3 Tmaxx out and really stretch their legs today if I can get them to run. I'll try to get some video.

    Ive only been in the R/C game for 3 weeks but ive been loving it. Broke my stock body, so I picked up a VW Bug body and painted it myself... I think it turned out great! let me know what you guys think.

    Sooo anyway. I am Triing to bind my MT4 with the airtronics receiver and I have done it three times
    1) I got my steering servo to work with the forward but no reverse.
    2) steering servo, reverse but no forward
    3) just steering servo and nothing else.

    The manual doesn't have ANY problem solving on it.

    Any advise.

    Thanks!!

    Just picked this thing up a few weeks ago. My first RC I've owned and I must say there fun as hell. I got mine ready to crawl right out of the box. Its a 1/10 scale crawler. But it romps over and up rocks, hillclimbs, crawlin anywhere pretty much. 00438c92_18788295cd1c0eeef53a1e6e6d9fbafe7389f9b4.jpg

    Got it!! Just reversed the throttle settings. I was reading and one of the problems with the wraith is that the motor and tranny move opposite to other R/C cars

    Yeah it's an axial. There's a store in Reno nv called CKRC crawlers. They had a pretty good selection. Cars trucks crawlers boats planes helicopters and so on. I think that's where the design of the wraith came from. Not positive tho. dc9dd64a_5f402e59666d83f115f6c112c480ae464b6ab314.jpg
