Absolutely love it. Put a few aftermarket parts on her, but is awesome right out of the box. I might get another one.
really good handling and very durable rock crawling 10/10 would recommend the car
I am very pleased with the Spawn. I came into buying this crawler knowing that it is the basic plastic chassis and was prepared to replace many of the stock linkage and chassis with aluminum upgrades. Even before any additions, I enjoyed the crawler as it was very capable and easy to crawl. The steering was a little spongy due to all the bowing in the plastic links.
First upgrades should be servo and universals. The wraith and og scx10 are my all time favorite ! Poison spider and original wraith. You can make them Bouncers or crawlers. I like the bouncer 4ws conversion for the platform. Has awesome aftermarket support. Stretch out wheel base and just a little on the width. Run 90mm shock.
I had the wraith when it first came out years ago, and just getting back into rc and finishing my first scale truck I wanted something fast and fun. The spawn did not disappoint. I will say I put the incision links on it before even running it, which are also a great product. Besides that I took it out bone stock and it was super capable and REALLY fun. I will say the servo blew out on the first battery but I kind of expected that and have plenty of backups, but I still give this rc 5 stars. I have a box full of vanquish ready to install, but after the first run I’m just going to ha e fun with it stock. Great rtr at a great price!
One of the best rc ive ever had and fun to drive i would recommend anybody to buy it will go where you would never think it no hassle to get started just get battery and charger then its plug and play easy to drive it will climb great and runs good
Everything that I ordered was as advertised. Fast shipping, good selection. I will do business here again. The Wraith is awesome, love it.
This has to be my all time favorite vehicle, got mine several years ago and just added a few hop up where needed, which are servo, linkages and wheels and tires. Getting ready to pick up another one from a local hobby store, awesome vehicle.
Great truck! Very happy with my purchase! Speedy delivery.
I bought this for a family member that's is getting old enough to catch on to RC cars, and let him pick what the budget afforded, and this what he chose. He was over the moon when it showed up, and now has had enough time with it to want to upgrade it, and loves working on it even more!!
Oh how I wish I could get that excited about something, but it's cool sitting on the sideline watching,,, lol
It was my first crawler/rock racer. Pretty dang sweet at least for crawling now racing I will leave that for independent suspension.??
This truck is an amazing vehicle. It is able to get around everywhere I try to go
I bought my wraith about 1 year ago. I really enjoy playing with it as does my son. It performs excellent in the rocks and general bashing. However, if I were to buy again I would build one rather than get the RTR kit. I replaced all electronics within the first couple months of ownership due to failure. First to go was the steering servo and horn after about 2 weeks. Kit claims all metal gears but when you open it up there is one plastic gear, the one that failed. Next to go was the motor and esc. Maybe 1 month of use at this point, at about 2 months the receiver failed, I ended up having to replace that along with a new controller. Steering links failed pretty quickly as well, and I’m having to constantly tighten the hub screws (plastic hubs) After making hundreds of dollars in upgrades it’s finally a reliable rig. My point is if your going to use the rc as intended, build it with quality parts and not a RTR. This will save you money in the long run and get you a better rig.
One month into this money pit. I'm on my third steering servo, receiver dies after a minute of driving. The four link suspension Axial brags about broke the second day. The plastic they used for the steering links makes dollar tree toys look sturdy. Just buy a traxxas
This vehicle is absolutely incredible. While the stock speed is as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. I’m more into crawling. Regeared my differentials for much better slow speed control. With a little imagination I’m back in Moab grinding away. While, knock on wood I haven’t broken anything. It just states that Axial has created a beast. I’ve had my Wraith Spawn for eight years now and still can’t believe how much enjoyable time I spend. My list of modifications continues to grow. Latest updates, new 110mm blue aluminum duel spring shocks with 50 weight oil, a new set of stainless steel bead locks, sexy Poison Spyder Customs diff covers and a fresh coat of acrylic clear. Next, perhaps lights or a two speed transmission.
Shopping at Amainhobbies.com is always a breeze. Great selection and the things not in stock always ship when they are supposed to. Returns are no problem and they even offer a rewards program! Love supporting a local business that does it right.
Great upgrade from the original Wraith. Better driveshafts, beadlock wheels, better electronics, and better pinion and spur gears. Great rig for the money and very capable.
CONS: They still use the plastic transmission gears(but thats a $7 fix). Also the servo and servo horn will probably not last long on a rig with this large of tires(in my experience). It says metal gear, but there is one plastic gear inside.
If you’re looking to get in to bouncer scene, this is a great start! Just a few hop ups and you’re ready for the hill. Love the wraith!
