Default RE: New Wraith

hummm, donk know about running a hot brushless setup with 4ws and a 2 speed.... are u sure whats what u want?

all depends what u want from it. like if u were into crawling the wraiths gearbox housing holds the dig gear set, its a great way to get tighter turns with out the bad handling accioated with 4ws.

If u are keen on the 4ws, I would looking to a better controller with more chanels so it can be turned off.

Just wondering why the 2 speed on a brushless combo? I can understand it on a brushed motor because they dont have aliner torque curve, and they cant suck amps like a brushless motor does. All a 2speed will do is only effect the top speed and current draw. there will be no torque or acceleration gains like we see in brushed setups. see when u load up a brushless motor it draws more current, and effectivally maked the motor more powerfull to compensate for the increase of gearing, providing u havent maxed out the ESC
