RE: New Wraith
the mamba max pro esc and tekin pro4 motor on 3 or 4 cell lipo seem to be the hot set up. get ready to upgrade the whole drivetrain, steel trans gears,mip driveshafts,hardened diff gears and lockers, 32pitch spur and pinion conversion,aluminum hexes and wheels. im sure im missing something.thats all needed to handle big power. i dont have a wraith, but i run with several people that do,and they all have well over a grand in em.
then theres the normal durability hop ups, aluminum c hubs and knuckles and links
budget not a issue, id run a hitec 7955tg or bigger with a castle 10 amp bec.
king shocks look good and i read good things about em.
gear your sons truck down, its geared to high out of the box, they all fry the stock motor for that reason, drop the motor pinion down about 4 teeth, it'll slow it down, but motors will last longer
