Yeah, the links were from Vanquish. A bit pricey but very solid. The BEC is just wired into your esc and receiver. The Savox like to try and hog the power from the battery and will cause issues with the esc/receiver. It's easy to wire if you follow the directions and are about $25 for the Castle 10amp version. Let me know if you have any other questions
Great! The Wraith is a great truck, but does need some mods to make it worthwhile. I ran the Hitec 7955tg and had no issues at all. I actually bent a servo horn with all the torque! I also run the Savox 1283sg in my SCX10 Honcho with 2.2's with no problem, although you will need a BEC with that one.
I appreciate all free/cheap mods to start. With my Wraith the main problem was the servo horn and now the servo output shaft if you will is super sloppy. I'm sure the days are numbered on the servo. I can't turn under harsh conditions and sometimes not even if I rock it. I also moved the c biscuits (or whatever they are called) to make caster severely negative and it's rad on upwards climbs but descent is horrible. I may go back to stock setting. Other than that... need cv axles yo.
I saw that you have metal links (noice) and thought you may have a better servo. Thanks for the input. It the BEC a big deal or not? I looked into what the acronym so I know what it means but is it difficult to install? I just went out and finished off a battery. I'm super happy with the wraith and the free mods to date. I'm just addicted to making it get over that one thing I can't. ha I'm researching servos now so, thank you for your input. I will likely do the driveshaft mod since I kno wrks.

The MIP steel shafts are awesome I love them in my Wraith.

I run the MIP's on my new SCX10. Great product Super beefy!
Sweet I'll check I put a bigger brushless motor in so I'm sure that's what caused it
Clinton Wurzbach Yeah, that'll do it!
So how do you get to the screw/bolt that holds the drive shaft on when the 6mm bolt is stuck in?
Good point...hopefully that won't be a problem...
@lepirate3030 That would probably be my next upgrade if there is an issue with it.
