Anyone into R/C?

Paid for another Wraith chassis. This will make #3 when done.

 

It should be fine. I put my Rx all the way to the back of the. Artery tray and it helps keep the battery forward and under the body more open. But it can be seen, too. Thinking of removing the housing to free up some space.

 

The Wraith is such a capable and fun rig. I could totally see myself building up a few

 

I put an open diff pulled from an SMT in Trail Bomber.

 

It is the axial 40t.

It squeals on takeoff on tile and conrete

The stuff I did weighs less than the original factory setup I'm almost positive now it stays planted on all 4 in a full tilt corner in dirt and with the 600mah it does well on concrete that is flat

Ive been intrigued since it was released. I know I'd enjoy it.

 

I encourage you to run it plastic til it bends or breaks it may surprise you

 

Losi has the Rock Rey which is similar to the Yeti. But is said to be much better than the Yeti TT in all aspects.

The Bomber isn't a good crawler in stock form and with the trailing arms. But it is fun. I've got a 1/8 sensorless to try in mine. With the open diff it turns sharper and in a tighter radius and does monster truck style donuts. It also doesn't roll as easy when going fast and turning. Plus the RTR has dog bone from axle shafts. It relieves some of that stress with the open diff. Look at replacing those dog bones for Unis before too long.

 

Yeti

 

Whats wrong? Amazon has some rather cheap batteries... thats where the 3s for my yetis came from

 

What meet?

 

I can fit a 5000mAh 2s or a 3400mAh 3s into the battery tray on my Bomber easily. Both of these are hard cased batteries, too. There's room for a little bigger if I tried or got some that weren't hard cased. I get my batteries from fleaBay or HobbyKing usually. Measure the tray size and compare to listed specs to find what fits. I can run the same batteries in my Yeti also. The Yeti have room for an even thicker battery case. These will also fit the Wraith rear tray or under the hood when modded that way.

 

The Rocky Rey is said to be extremely better. Better electronics and more durable. I have a Yeti and have replaced the rear ring/pinion twice with stock and will go to the hardened steel next time. The AE-3 doesn't handle low speed 3s well either whereas the Rock Rey is said to do very well temperature wise.

 

Get LIPO

 

That 400 wasn't the best deal... NiMH is junk now a days

Get read to open the wallet for 3s carnage. Get one of each.

 

I put a Yeti sway bar which is too stiff really. HR makes a decently priced adjustable sway bar. Thicker shock oil will make a world of difference, too.

My first one I had set up like a FOFF and it was brutal on take off and speed on 3s. Ended up having a ticking in the tranny after a few packs through it. So I traded it for a beat up Exo Terra and it's filled that void nicely. It's a rocket and handles well at speed.


Open front diff and homemade fat pool noodle foams in the tires. They're too firm for crawling but love the loose stuff, leaves, and the likes. It's got a 3670 2650kV motor right now and I'm hoping the 4068 I've got ordered will fit. It should have plenty of TQ even on 2s. I did it up for bashing around walking trails through the woods and stuff.

 

Before the gloss white vinyl wrap.

 

Picked up an ARRMA Talion. Haven't run it yet-charging batteries. Out of the box, this thing seems to be upgraded everything. Shock towers are aluminum, so is the skid. Instructions suck but this looks to be a real kick in the pants.

 

The service will probably die first. Then the ESC. Axial products lately have junk electronics. I can't really suggest a servo but the HobbyWing 1080/Crawler ESC is probably the best bang for the buck right now. I built my own links for the first one but lucked up on some used kit aluminum links for this one. The fleaBay Chinese aluminum trailing arms have held up well, too.
