Maybe off-topic, but the shit that makes me laugh is seeing grown men with scale rigs with ken dolls in the driver seat 😂😂😂. Worse is when Barbie sits next to ken, like how do you justify that? “Oh it’s for my daughter”, meanwhile at the crawler events I see these guys dressed up like Paul Bunyan like they are going to chop down 10 trees after they are done crawling, yet they have action figures in their RCs.... weird. Sorry to offend anyone but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous
Wolfpack 718 I’m rolling here! The whole “going to war” outfit, with the tiny pots and pans, because “my lil’ guy needs to cook”. It’s hilarious! And also what makes this hobby so fun.
Lol sorry bro I’ll never do it. Makes sense though, Barbie needs to eat once in a while 😁. I just wish I was there when these guys wives walk in the hobby room and see all these action figures. “The moment my wife created a tinder account” 😂
Hehe well I guess I fall into your dislike group as I have a 1/6 GI Joe converted Jeep and yes it has 2 full figure action men in it with a 50 can gun to boot. but I do try to do military action films with them and my wife insisted I get a female to make sure they do things right LOL we all have different views on what the hobby is an d how it should look and I respect that as you do the doll toting rig and that is the common ground that we all have and I thank you for sharing your viewpoint with us
How is the doll thing any more ridiculous than a grown man spending close to $1K on an rc toy that's used to cost 19.99 at Kmart 20 yes ago- and continues to believe it's a "hobby" ...?
You're going to love the Wraith, to me it's closer to a scale truck than any of the other ones out there, I've got one of the original kits although quite heavily modded and I love it :)
Real glad to have you back reviewing these vehicles. I like this more than the earlier ones flip up hood engine detail and just the matte finish to the cab and it looks good.
Excellent show I loved the wraith and of course did a custom 1.9 with it but could never be perfect like this little beauty. Totally appreciate your angle of attack on laying out the details!
Wraith is a great competition rig .... In class 3. This is just another option in class 2 and 2.5. looks pretty cool though, can't wait for mine to get here. I just hope they keep the real wraith around, best class 3 platform to me.
Wraith referring to the shape of the cage, is still justified here. It definitely is a cool rig to run, less top heavy than I anticipated. Of course more sideroll prone than anything on AR60's, but also easier to sneak through certain narrow sections. Have fun with yours!
@@hemistormrc I'm just kind of sad they went all this way to make a 1.9 tired class 2 or 2.5 rig but it still doesn't qualify because of the tube frame/cage. Oh well, I still plan on having a ton of trail fun when mine gets here this coming week.
I'm from denmark, a bit of a commute I'm sad to say, would have been a honour to roll with you. Just looks like they had an intern rummage around the warehouse for cheap bits to put together he he. But in all seriousness, a long shocked scx10 II with a heavy cage on top, smells like tip-happy.com. Cheers @@hemistormrc
Nicely done, it certainly looks different to last gen, which I'm still in love with. The orange looks awesome, but I think it'll be the matt black for me. Handy tip to make the interior less glossy, cheers geezer 👍
Looks really good, only complaint is that Spektrum remote, I have one n its all plastic, feels cheap n they could at least put rubber or foam on the wheel, but everything looks great just hate the transmitter lol
Certainly different feel than the Tactic, I can totally see where you are coming from. I hope it just takes some getting used to. Thank you for the continued support, Steve! It is appreciated.
I just got a wraith 1.9 for 300$ from my local hobby shop. I was going to get the capra but then I need to buy batteries for it since none of my batteries fit in the tiny bs battery tray. My LCS has literally everything but they had the wraith with an open box and offered 300 for it and I couldn't pass it up. I only have an aluminum servo horn and a light bar on mine otherwise its stock and it was out climbing my trx4 bronco which has around 600$ in upgrades including a brushless hobbywing system and my new wraith on 2s was crawling all over my trx4 on 3s. I am actually pretty impressed with this rig, I wasn't expecting anything good but I am pleasantly surprised for sure.
Thanks for video. I have some extra scx 10ii axles, Jeep body that is almost exactly the same size as the Deadbolt body,some 1.9 tires and a spectrum radio. I need to bring our Wriaths back to life. Your wright it will be more fun to drive with the scale truck's. I really like everything they did👍👍🏁🏁🏁
S0L0SH00TER Well after i went threw all the trouble to modify and build a 1.9 wraith...then i sold the truck, and now this hits the market...sweet lol.
Main thing I like, even if they copied it, is the paint on the outside to get the scratched paint effect. Other than that I might be one of the few people that aren't really interested in this rig
It definitely is a cool feature. Long before Arrma did it it has been a popular technique with those interested in more realistic lexan bodies to create a dulled down effect and realistic scratches.
Yeha, I like painting too. Body that's on my crawler I painted over ten years ago, but I also race Kyosho mini-z's and have painted a few of those, both abs and lexan. I've never painted a lexan Body on the outside, but I guess I might soon, lol
pinkze he say " superb, honest review. I personally think interior should have been more scale like Wraith mk 1, i know transmission sits higher but think a poor effort "
Hi Pinkze! Less detail in the interior, but also less weight. I think for what this truck is meant to do a quite important feature as well. Glad you enjoyed the video, have a great weekend!
You and Josh got the wrong Rigs! He's butthurt because you got the Orange one.... Thanks for clearing up the ESC question. I'm GLAD it's not Dynamite!!! Carmine 🚂 🚙
The downfall of that "spektrum receiver" is that the receiver will NOT bind to a higher end remote. Unlike before anything that was spektrum, would bind to a higher end spektrum remote. Great truck though I love it.
It’s nice to see something kinda new from axial. This will have to find a place on my shelf. I wanted to build an og version which seems a bit complicated. Not really something to complain about but I wish horizon wouldn’t blast their huge logo on the main picture. I like to cut the front panel picture off and hang in the shop. The huge logo kinda takes away from it. Again not really an issue. Great review as always and great to see health is much better.
I think Horizon is taking a lot of steps in the right direction to continue the brand feel which we have all grown familiar with at Axial. I'm very positively surprised by this release!
I wish I would have known about that before got the cherokee 2 weeks ago. Still loving my jeep though, already broke the front diff and ordered new parts!
@@hemistormrc Thanks for the reply. Do you have any experience with overdriving the front diff? I want tighter turning and more grab in front. I think that would be a good way to go about it?
Yeah I have had them on 3 different rigs and none leak. Be careful checking for burrs or damage to the parts and grease the o-rings with some good grease.
I wasn't a big fan of the original Wraith! Mainly because of its top heavy cage and that limousine wheel base. Well those axles was super wide also! So I suppose as a rock bouncer, it's all good and great fun. From what I have seen, everyone was trying to rock crawl them. And it wasn't very pretty!! My 2.2" training wheel Honcho was way more of a rock crawler, than the Wraith was. Or at least all the ones that I crawled with! I am not really sure why, but there's something about this little skinny narrow top heavy version, that's calling to me!! I.D.K.!!! The one part of this new version I am not sure about, are the newer AR44 one piece axles. I suppose I should not pass any judgment on these axles, because I have not yet had a chance to run them. So I will have to buy a new rig with them, and go from there...
Wow. I have an original Wraith and this one i might need to pick up too! Great upgrades and I really like the look. They have refined the body a bit too, not only the molded piece in the front but the back is a little bit modified. Do you think the body would fit on a SCX10-2 ? Great review!
I think something a lot of people will try to do is fit the actual frame rails of the SCX102 under this cage, shorter shocks, perhaps even smaller tires. So many possibilities! The lexan looks far more detailed than it did in the past and the injection molded plastics are a great fit.
Hello hemi, I am going to paint my first pecan trx 4 spot body with spray paint, should I paint it in the inside, or the outside? Thank you for your time and wisdom
My only complaint is I wish axial would would have the the motor and transmission laid out more like rc4wd. I hate everything being in the center of the chassis.
I do like the fact there isn't a separated transfer case in this instance. There simply isn't a lot of room up front to tuck the tires if any of the other electronics would be moved there. A shallower interior and the battery plus radio up front is the perfect solution given the short footprint.
I guess it takes a little more ingenuity to impress me... I think it’s more rebranded garbage. The yetiJr canam was a flop too.. I hate saying Traxxas & Redcat has completely shattered Axial and this is their counterpunch... weak
There is a lot of strong competition out, but I do applaud this release. while the Can Am is perhaps more of an accessory and also priced accordingly, this 1.9 Wraith is a good addition to the line up. I hope you are well!
I am in the hobby for almost 4 years now and i started out with a scx10. I really thought it was a great truck.....untill the trx4 came out. The difference was so big that it is almost impossible to compare them. They are in two totally different league’s. I have also driven a scx10-2 long enough to come to the conclusion that it is not better than the first one, let alone the trx-4. So, my scx10 has found a place where it truly belongs....in the hands of my five year old daughter. To be fair, the Bomber is a great car! I have the Wraith kit still waiting to be build so i cannot say anything about that one. Also no new gen8 in my garage yet.
@@Mrrootsfull The gen8 isn't as great as everyone says it is and I'm not talk about the bump steer because that's an easy fix. The frame moves to the right when you compress the front shocks so bad that the driver side shock hits the fucking chassis it's really bad and nobody has mentioned it besides RC reviews he goes over it. Oh and I haven't seen one single gen8 driveshaft that is phased correctly including all of mine which is another huge problem.
@@Mrrootsfull The scx10 is also a 10 year old rig so it's not going to be the best crawler out there but it gets the job done if you want a truck that's easy to work on with a shit ton of after market support
Great review as allways mate (y) I do like this version, was not that keen on the orginal Wraith which I had at one point. I found it boring with 2.2 as it would crawl everywhere. Also like the new radio :-)
Already had a great time with the narrower track width this afternoon in the forest. I hope you are doing well, Richard. Spring is right around the corner!
Hoi, Ik had dit ook al ff gemeld in de chat maar ik vind het jammer dat de body’s zo doorzichtig zijn. Ik zou ‘m gelijk zwart spuiten aan de binnenkant zodat (zon)licht niet meer door de body kan schijnen. Dat is een persoonlijk ding natuurlijk maar ik denk niet dat ik de enige ben. Hoe denk jij daar eigenlijk over? Het is volgens mij bijna standaard bij rc auto’s dat het niet mooi lichtdicht is afgewerkt. Ik vind je kanaal erg goed! Blijf vooral doorgaan want het is zeer leerzaam voor mij. Top!
Heb je helemaal gelijk in, vaak is de coating veel te dun en kijk je er recht doorheen. In dit geval echter, is het vrij goed gedaan en dik aangebracht. Oranje op de buitenzijde, en zilver aan de binnenkant. Ik ben blij dat je de video's leuk vindt, groeten!
Would like to see some super rock Rey videos. Just got mine last week 3 short runs later and broken servo saver, right front upper suspension arm adjustable rod broken, front right spindle and spindle carrier as well all from a cartwheel crash from hard braking at full speed in grass.
Man I don’t know if I want this or the 2.2 spawn🤔 I don’t have a 2.2 rig and I doubt this would compete with my trx4 sport. But it’s still a sweet rig. Hard decisions.
I accidentally destroyed my 1st gen wraith kit. 3 cell brushless into a metal I beam. Whole front was smeared off. To the windshield. LOL now but I about cried then.
Your review sold me so much more then the other release videos out there... well done I hope there sending you free shit! I was not impressed Intel I watched your overview... 🥃cheers🍻
You to, and keep up all the grate work I hope the next project is one that brings a smile to your face and a spark to your heart! Your an inspiration to so many of us and I'd like you to know how much we appreciate every video you make! 🥃cheers🍻
Horizon is such a dick company that they feel the need to put its brand everywhere in the box of an AXIAL Vehicle…. We get it horizon you own Axial now but god damn it! You could not put a small logo in the lower half of the box couldn't you? you are the equivalent of EA Games for the RC Industry I would not be surprised if you just dissolve the Axial name altogether in a few months.
Maybe off-topic, but the shit that makes me laugh is seeing grown men with scale rigs with ken dolls in the driver seat 😂😂😂.

Hehe well I guess I fall into your dislike group as I have a 1/6 GI Joe converted Jeep and yes it has 2 full figure action men in it with a 50 can gun to boot.
but I do try to do military action films with them and my wife insisted I get a female to make sure they do things right LOL
we all have different views on what the hobby is an d how it should look and I respect that as you do the doll toting rig and that is the common ground that we all have and I thank you for sharing your viewpoint with us

Orange trucks are cool 😉 Awesome video Chris!
Orange trucks go wayyyyyy faster! Always great seeing you, Greg. Online and IRL.

Glad to be back, Nick! And very happy to see you still around!
Could tell you like this product, good to see someone actually genuinely excited in an unboxing vidoe of a new truck
Glad it shows, it is a truly exciting release!
Paint detail is very cool. I look forward to scratching mine. :)
Scratched and dented. No longer mall rated!
Excellent show I loved the wraith and of course did a custom 1.9 with it but could never be perfect like this little beauty. Totally appreciate your angle of attack on laying out the details!
Glad you liked the video, the truck is going to be a big hit I think.
Your right now the ones with less skills can have it all lol
I believe that is the longest I've ever seen you hold a box.
Great video! looks like a fun rig.
Definitely in the top five of me holding boxes!
I’m so glad this came out. I was so close to having to buy a Traxxas. Nobody wants to see that. Lol
Haha, one can never have enough RC's!
Hi my name is Jason I’m an RC aholic.
Boulder dash I have two trx4. They crawl better than any of my axialz.
I love taking my 2.2 wraith out on the trails and it performs just as good if not better than my 1.9 rigs.
How does it go through narrow gates though? I think it is great to have options!
No shit it has bigger tires lmao
Wraith is a great competition rig .... In class 3. This is just another option in class 2 and 2.5. looks pretty cool though, can't wait for mine to get here. I just hope they keep the real wraith around, best class 3 platform to me.

Great overview! Thanks! Looking forward to see what you do with it.
Already have a few idea on what I would like to do!
Woohoooo, they made a narrow, high riding, top heavy SCX10 II, and slapped a Wraith sticker on it.. I can't contain myself with exitement...
My feelings exactly, with different punctuation, hahaha! It is a fun truck. Looks like you are in Norway too, perhaps close, let's run it!
I'm from denmark, a bit of a commute I'm sad to say, would have been a honour to roll with you. Just looks like they had an intern rummage around the warehouse for cheap bits to put together he he. But in all seriousness, a long shocked scx10 II with a heavy cage on top, smells like tip-happy.com. Cheers

Lol.. Don't lick the battery! Now that's the best thing I've heard! Great unboxing bro! Looks to be a sweet set-up! Thumbs up! 👍😎
Thanks! Say hi to the other dudes! They must be getting big now.
@@hemistormrc They say hi! They are growing fast! Some pinewood Derby this weekend! 😎
Hay dude can't wait what it will look like when you've put your finishing touch to it..
Hoping to see clear bodies soon! If not, I might just repaint the stock one.
Love your style! Thank you for an excellent review. Your gate markers comment was too funny. I'll NEVER make it to 100 gates at this expense!
As long as you have fun with what you run!
Awesome unboxing Hemi style, love it! Thanks bro!
You are most welcome Jay, glad you like it!
Looks really good, only complaint is that Spektrum remote, I have one n its all plastic, feels cheap n they could at least put rubber or foam on the wheel, but everything looks great just hate the transmitter lol
I really like the Tactic radio's Axial n Arrma both came with, but it looks like those r gonna be replaced with these spektrums
Certainly different feel than the Tactic, I can totally see where you are coming from. I hope it just takes some getting used to. Thank you for the continued support, Steve! It is appreciated.
I've also heard these have bad range which is sad because the tactic has the best range on any transmitter I've tried so far.
I really like the flat orange and the 1.9s... it‘s more realistic to the 2.2s...
My thoughts exactly!
This new wraith is so sick
I fully agree!
I just got a wraith 1.9 for 300$ from my local hobby shop. I was going to get the capra but then I need to buy batteries for it since none of my batteries fit in the tiny bs battery tray. My LCS has literally everything but they had the wraith with an open box and offered 300 for it and I couldn't pass it up.

Can't wait to see what you do with this one.
It looks pretty cool, but that orange body does not do it any justice. I think you need to give it the Hemi Touch 👍👍👍👍
I like this Wraith Jr and im looking forward to another Hemistorm masterpiece 👌🏼
I hope I will be able to create something which lives up to the expectation!
HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more You always exceed it brother!
Looking forward to this release!
I think it has been worth the wait. I was truly surprised as I was not expecting this.
Awesome rig brother👍
Thank you! Well happy with it!
🤘 can't wait to see what you do with it
Piling up parts here!
This looks great! Hopefully they put out a kit versions soon.
That makes a lot of us, kit version with metal links and included overdrive gear would be SWEET.
Hopefully they will release a kit version.
They usually will, a bit later.
Exactly what I’m waiting for, I’ve got the original scx10 I made a wrancho instead of buying the spawn. So I guess I’ll have to buy something new 😂.
Ohhhhhh..Turbos included :) Bra video igjen,mister :) Trommehilsen fra Stefan :)
Hilsen tilbake, Stefan! Turbo må man bare ha!
Thanks for video. I have some extra scx 10ii axles, Jeep body that is almost exactly the same size as the Deadbolt body,some 1.9 tires and a spectrum radio. I need to bring our Wriaths back to life. Your wright it will be more fun to drive with the scale truck's. I really like everything they did👍👍🏁🏁🏁
I think the coming season will be a lot of fun with a huge variety of vehicles, be it homemade or ready to run, out at events and gatherings!
Awesome job, awesome release/surprise ! 👍👍
Total surprise indeed!
S0L0SH00TER Well after i went threw all the trouble to modify and build a 1.9 wraith...then i sold the truck, and now this hits the market...sweet lol.

Main thing I like, even if they copied it, is the paint on the outside to get the scratched paint effect. Other than that I might be one of the few people that aren't really interested in this rig
It definitely is a cool feature. Long before Arrma did it it has been a popular technique with those interested in more realistic lexan bodies to create a dulled down effect and realistic scratches.
@@hemistormrc didn't really notice it done much before the Notorious came out. Keep up the good work man, you paint work makes me want to paint more👍
Lol, I think it's crazy that they found a way to call scratched off paint a feature!! Back in the old days, we hated to scratch a body up.
@@davidhogue100 😂😂 As someone who enjoys painting, I hate to see a body get scratched up as well. I guess it's kinda cool on a RTR body though.
Yeha, I like painting too. Body that's on my crawler I painted over ten years ago, but I also race Kyosho mini-z's and have painted a few of those, both abs and lexan. I've never painted a lexan Body on the outside, but I guess I might soon, lol
Nice ! Great video Chris
Thank you, sir!
Great review Chris the only battery I’ll
Ever lick is a 9 volt lol I’m sure I’m not alone on that one ....stay healthy my Friend
Will do, Mikey!
Awesome video Chris! May have to consider getting one of those!
I think it is a welcome addition to any collection, Brad! I'm sure you will dig it.

@@hemistormrc pinkze he say also " do you reckon mk1 interior would fit ? "
Totally agree. I love my 2.2 Wraith, invested way too much to sell it. It's mainly a trophy. The Bomber does it ALL better.
This new way of perceiving a Wraith is quite brilliant!
I'm start'n to worry about Axial. Looks cool but still a scx10ii. Great unboxing! Cant wait ti see your spin on it! Right On bro!
Love the engine bay!
Now to start personalizing it a bit!
thanks for the info chris.

The downfall of that "spektrum receiver" is that the receiver will NOT bind to a higher end remote. Unlike before anything that was spektrum, would bind to a higher end spektrum remote. Great truck though I love it.

Haha, right on. I hope you are well!
What a great review my friend~!!👍👍👍
Thank you, always nice to see you!
Bonito Crawler. Saludos
Gracias amigo!
anyone heard of release date yet?
I already pre-ordered mine and I can'T wait any longer :D
Hello hemi, I am going to paint my first pecan trx 4 spot body with spray paint, should I paint it in the inside, or the outside? Thank you for your time and wisdom
Hi Jason, paint the inside and watch a few basic paint videos. It should give you a fairly good idea of the steps involved.
Ha, don't tie your dog to this....great review. Wonder if a kit version is in the works? Might have to add this one to the stable. Cheers!
My only complaint is I wish axial would would have the the motor and transmission laid out more like rc4wd. I hate everything being in the center of the chassis.
I do like the fact there isn't a separated transfer case in this instance. There simply isn't a lot of room up front to tuck the tires if any of the other electronics would be moved there. A shallower interior and the battery plus radio up front is the perfect solution given the short footprint.
Is that color called Harley orange? 😋 Great review Chris.
Or Dutch orange, haha!
I guess it takes a little more ingenuity to impress me... I think it’s more rebranded garbage. The yetiJr canam was a flop too.. I hate saying Traxxas & Redcat has completely shattered Axial and this is their counterpunch... weak
There is a lot of strong competition out, but I do applaud this release. while the Can Am is perhaps more of an accessory and also priced accordingly, this 1.9 Wraith is a good addition to the line up. I hope you are well!

So, my scx10 has found a place where it truly belongs....in the hands of my five year old daughter. To be fair, the Bomber is a great car! I have the Wraith kit still waiting to be build so i cannot say anything about that one. Also no new gen8 in my garage yet.
@@Mrrootsfull The gen8 isn't as great as everyone says it is and I'm not talk about the bump steer because that's an easy fix. The frame moves to the right when you compress the front shocks so bad that the driver side shock hits the fucking chassis it's really bad and nobody has mentioned it besides RC reviews he goes over it. Oh and I haven't seen one single gen8 driveshaft that is phased correctly including all of mine which is another huge problem.
@@Mrrootsfull The scx10 is also a 10 year old rig so it's not going to be the best crawler out there but it gets the job done if you want a truck that's easy to work on with a shit ton of after market support
Great review as allways mate (y) I do like this version, was not that keen on the orginal Wraith which I had at one point. I found it boring with 2.2 as it would crawl everywhere. Also like the new radio :-)
Already had a great time with the narrower track width this afternoon in the forest. I hope you are doing well, Richard. Spring is right around the corner!
Hoi,
Ik had dit ook al ff gemeld in de chat maar ik vind het jammer dat de body’s zo doorzichtig zijn. Ik zou ‘m gelijk zwart spuiten aan de binnenkant zodat (zon)licht niet meer door de body kan schijnen. Dat is een persoonlijk ding natuurlijk maar ik denk niet dat ik de enige ben. Hoe denk jij daar eigenlijk over? Het is volgens mij bijna standaard bij rc auto’s dat het niet mooi lichtdicht is afgewerkt.
Ik vind je kanaal erg goed! Blijf vooral doorgaan want het is zeer leerzaam voor mij. Top!
Heb je helemaal gelijk in, vaak is de coating veel te dun en kijk je er recht doorheen. In dit geval echter, is het vrij goed gedaan en dik aangebracht. Oranje op de buitenzijde, en zilver aan de binnenkant. Ik ben blij dat je de video's leuk vindt, groeten!
Would like to see some super rock Rey videos. Just got mine last week 3 short runs later and broken servo saver, right front upper suspension arm adjustable rod broken, front right spindle and spindle carrier as well all from a cartwheel crash from hard braking at full speed in grass.
Damn Eric, that is quite the list! Temperatures are just starting to climb here, running videos as soon as the plastics won't snap incoming!
i don’t always lick my batteries,but when i do i go til i hit lipocut😛
Hahahaha!
I hope they make a kit version of this. Anyone else down???
I think they will come out with one, they usually do!
Is there any problem with ground clearance ....?
Don't lick the battery 😂
Unless you are under 12.
Looks cool 👍🏻
I fully agree with you!
i miss you man! make more videos.
WTH. I finally build my wraith to a 1.9 an they come out with a rdr Killin me axial lol now I gotta buy one.
Haha, too much good stuff coming out!
Awesome video! What's the wheelbase on it?
One subway sandwich, 12 inches.
Man I don’t know if I want this or the 2.2 spawn🤔 I don’t have a 2.2 rig and I doubt this would compete with my trx4 sport. But it’s still a sweet rig. Hard decisions.
BLACK color looks more WRAITH
Black sure looks meaner, but this one I can find easier in the forest!
That's TRUE 😂
Recommendation for the transmitter slick steering
?
Rubber bands.
I cant see the point, its an scx10 2. its nice but axial are falling way behind the rest now
It's not though. Doesn't have the rail chassis for instance.
Indeed, way different from a regular SCX102, and a lot of redesigned parts to specifically build this truck. Thank you for watching!
People have been bitching about Axial releasing a new wraith and they do and people complain lmao
The wraith makes more sense now
I think it looks way more proportionate in this rendition. Thank you for stopping by!
The real question is, what you gonna do with the paint scheme?! :)
Hi Brandon, I hope something eye catching!
well i have no doubt it will be! lol those body lines are prime for a nice paint job.
Your the only info on the net on this rig. lol The link doesn't work either.I like it
I noticed, keep checking back as I am sure the link will go live at some point!
Are you going to paint it? I hope so. Your Redcat Gen8 turned out SICK as Fuck!
I think I will, I find it difficult to stay patient enough for a clear body to show!
gawd i wana hate it, but it looks great other than the WB
Sweeeeet
Indeed it is, Trevor! Thank you for stopping by.
I accidentally destroyed my 1st gen wraith kit. 3 cell brushless into a metal I beam. Whole front was smeared off. To the windshield. LOL now but I about cried then.
Sounds like you need a new one, Rod!
Your review sold me so much more then the other release videos out there... well done I hope there sending you free shit! I was not impressed Intel I watched your overview... 🥃cheers🍻
Very happy to hear that, Jack! Have a great weekend!
You to, and keep up all the grate work I hope the next project is one that brings a smile to your face and a spark to your heart! Your an inspiration to so many of us and I'd like you to know how much we appreciate every video you make! 🥃cheers🍻
Price...
I'm assuming that was a question. $369,-
I would post a ton of GIFs here too, but can't.
King of the hammers looking rig? Maybe the stock class for King of the hammers. The original wraith looked pretty dead on for top class hammers rig.
I have always found the wheels overdimensioned.
35t won't win you any awards for smoked tires.... Hahaha!
Not a drag racing vehicle by any means, haha!
Horizon is such a dick company that they feel the need to put its brand everywhere in the box of an AXIAL Vehicle….
We get it horizon you own Axial now but god damn it! You could not put a small logo in the lower half of the box couldn't you? you are the equivalent of EA Games for the RC Industry I would not be surprised if you just dissolve the Axial name altogether in a few months.
