NEW Custom Build EP1 - 2020 - Scale RC Truck - The RCNetwork

[@TheRCNetwork]

What's your thoughts on the fake Vanquish wheels? Should they be on this build? 🤔 #Chanquish

[@sc10rs]

#scandalous 😂

[@trialpsycho_rc]

Please not!!! Always go the real way 🙏

[@michaeldeering798]

If you have it, use it. Letting everyone know if they're crap would be a public service really and I don't personally feel it's wrong to copy a scale replica since it's already a copy.

[@TheRCNetwork]

@@trialpsycho_rc I'll have the video out next week on the wheels - the kicker is the pricing with no real performance advantage for the real thing. Moral dilema, yes though.

[@TheRCNetwork]

@@michaeldeering798 I agree!

[@humblerc841]

that's going to be a nice rig.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I hope so...hopefully I planned accordingly.....

[@michaelhoyle3266]

Looking forward to progress on this build always enjoy following along and living vicariously through your high dollar projects :).

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy! yeah, it's going to be a great build

[@rcstctruckvideos-sb1275]

Yes...!! I can't wait to see this build. I have a Wraith in my shopping cart now.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks - I believe Axial just lowered the pricing on the 1.9 wraith too -n should be $329 now for the RTR

[@Blacksheeprc2024]

That thing is gonna be a beast

[@TheRCNetwork]

I hope so - so far, so good!

[@Blacksheeprc2024]

@@TheRCNetwork rich I wish I had the funds to do some of the builds you do man you a blessed man

[@AxiomaticPro]

Wow! Top notch parts and should be an incredible build. Looking forward to seeing this come together!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks A RC! I started the transmission last night - it's pretty amazing to build with these parts

[@gaelangarrett7385]

Yes!! Inject this into my veins!

[@TheRCNetwork]

I know....I started the build last night while this video was uploading!

[@ReadySetRC]

Looks like a serious build. Looking forward to the next episode. Great video as always Rich👍👍

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy!

[@warwickeioncampbell4737]

Would you discrbe the body set as a conversion kit along wit the lower chassis rail set?

[@paulgarwood192]

Dang, Rich you’ve dropped a $$$ bomb on the upgrades? Can’t wait to see the build and final product. 👍🇦🇺🤓

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks Paul! It should be a great rig...hopefully I've planned accordingly on upgrades

[@frankiedelaparra9530]

Just got my kids one of these, interested to see how your build goes!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! it's a great rig for kids....stay tuned!

[@coinhawk]

Thank you for mentioning $$.... For novice builders it's good to know the range... Thx 😊

[@TheRCNetwork]

No problem - I usually don't mention pricing because things always change.

[@user-dz2jv4in5z]

You should review that Flysky Noble NB4 radio.

[@TheRCNetwork]

I've had a couple of FlySky radios on here - I was never too impressed though

[@user-dz2jv4in5z]

@@TheRCNetwork It's their flagship surface radio.

[@barryking8966]

This would be a great setup with paddle tires for formula off-road.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Now you're talking!

[@rctrucktalk1149]

What would you choose for an Ultra4 rig the Wraith or the Bomber? (Given that you have experience of building both rigs)

[@TheRCNetwork]

I'd probably pick the wraith, mostly because the simpler transmission and linkset - the Bomber is a great truck, but has a unique /more complicated transmission - a good friend of mine (Jake Wright) runs a Bomber looking rig, but with a LCG skid and wraith style transmission

[@rctrucktalk1149]

@@TheRCNetwork is there anyway to see your friends rig online? i would be very interested indeed

[@michaeldeering798]

I anticipate your thoughts on those new tires

[@TheRCNetwork]

The feel and grip is amazing in shop - plus they mounted better than any tire I've mounted

[@tomandrews5392]

I cant wait to see the progress .....I have been wanting to buy a 1.9 Warth ...this may give me a reason.....

[@TheRCNetwork]

Me too - I got the Transmission and rear axle done....moving on. hopefully a new video here in a couple of weeks.

[@ruben25900]

Just a heads up that they make 6 bolt ring and pinion gears now.

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I saw that when ordering.....I'll test out these first....but probably switching to overdrive in the front here soon anyways

[@billcox87]

gonna be awesome mang!!! if you need to find out the torque of the servo in oz, just multiply the kg rating by 13.87 which will give you 554.8oz

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Thanks for that info....I knew it was about 500, but didn't want to quote higher than it was

[@HaHa-xo5qq]

The RCNetwork iOS,,,,,mmm,, ]$’:$:$’’’’’,$,’

[@marccyberwiz]

Rich is that the horizon release of wraith? I see they come with spectrum electronics now wondering if the plastics were better like the Capra. Looking forward to seeing the build.

[@TheRCNetwork]

It is the Horizon release, but still on the tail end of the Axial molds. All of the plastics are the old axial version - like the shocks, links, and everything. My stock electronics were the Spektrum remote, Tactic Servo, Dynamite ESC, Axial Motor

[@rrdeanie]

I would go ahead and buy some new ring and pinion for your project, the 3 screw design tends to fail at the bolts the connect the ring gear to the locker. 6 hole bolt patter ring and locker are now available to avoid this problem👍

[@TheRCNetwork]

I was so on the fence when I was selecting these......I'll have to run with these for now and see if I have a failure - but thanks for the comment

[@odomandr]

Have you posted the video on the wheels comparison and morality.?

[@TheRCNetwork]

I opted to hold off on that video for now. With the recent Covid 19 pandemic, doing a video about cheaper chinese alternatives wouldn't be we well accepted. What do you think?

[@odomandr]

@@TheRCNetwork I can see both sides. I appreciate VP and all the amazing engineering and precision parts. I also see hobbyists without the funds that still want to have fun... I have a few sets of both. but I have been making an effort to buy legitimate only. I think people see the price and overlook the made in America piece as well.... I also see the limited availability for some styles and colors and the price inflation on second hand.... Id like the video despite what side you are on or the current climate. I say press on

[@blammers]

Is there room in the 1.9 Wraith for a full interior like the 2.2 had?

[@TheRCNetwork]

Benbot not with the trans/motor and everything where it is

[@blammers]

I’m planning a Wraith build but a detailed interior is important to me. I guess the 1.9 version is off, then!

[@TheRCNetwork]

A full depth interior like the 2.2"wraith is going to be tough, especially on a 1.9" build - you'll likely need a unique build like the Vanquish VS410 Pro that moves the trans/motor lower and up front

[@EvolVillainRC]

nice!

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy!

[@sc10rs]

Nice rich!!!! I picked one up aswell!!!! couldn't help myself!!!! Was a great deal!!!! 😂

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Looks like Amain just lowered the price to $329 for the RTR - not too bad considering

[@00godlovesus]

Great videos as always:)

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy!

[@PhoenixRCCrawler]

I’m scared to see the bill in that parts list. Lol

[@TheRCNetwork]

Me too! 😬

[@TheRCNetwork]

Thanks buddy!

[@ShadeTree_RC]

let me take time to mourn for using a knock off rim on an rc car the company tried to charge me 800 dollars for with shitty electronics ....sike :P

[@TheRCNetwork]

Yeah, I'm starting to realize the cost of these things vs. the performance upgrade.

[@ShadeTree_RC]

@@TheRCNetwork im the same way if a yea racing bumper will do the same job as a 60 dollar name brand bumper that is the one im going with my pride is not so big i cant put chinese parts on my taiwan truck

[@TheRCNetwork]

Nice! Yeah, it really depends on the part and if it's a performance related part vs. a just "look good" part for me
