RE: New Wraith
Great advice...I will third what you guys have said. Get to know your truck and upgrade it the best way it will benefit your driving and what you do with it. All the bling looks cool but isn't necessarily helping performance.
I two have 2 Wraiths, a kit I built for myself and a stock Wraith I bought used and cleaned up for my son. I like crawling and trail driving. I'm running a MMP with a 17.5T Novak BL motor, with that setup I have good drag brake, speed, and torque which works great for how I drive. So far I've only upgraded my steering linkage and servo horn after damaging those crawling. My son is all about going fast and bashing...so I've left his completely stock and only plan to replace what he breaks. lol
