I should be receiving a Wraith tomorrow. After I get a chance to install and run it I'll post my thoughts on the Wraith vs. the Aon 4900 I'm currently running. I won't be able to comment on wire clearance and the steering posts though, I've got my diff rotated so I can run a LiPo pack down the left side of the chassis.

Hey Jake... I got an email from Troy at BPP and he said I should be getting my Wraith tomorrow as well. He missed the cut-off yesterday to get it out to me overnight. Oh well... as long as I have it for the 3-day weekend to play around with.

Well I finally had a chance to run the Wraith over the weekend. I race at a small, tight off-road track. The only place where I noticed a big difference from the Aon 4900 was a couple of sets of double jumps that have relatively short run-ups before them. I didn't do any speed runs but the highly scientific tire ballooning test tells me the Wraith can definitely spin the tires faster than the Aon motor.

That purple can is a wraith. I don't have any complaints with the motor.

I got my Wraith and Quark 33A esc about a week or so ago. I must say I'm pretty impressed. I did a few drag runs with a friend of mine who has a Mugen MBX5 buggy with a Novarossi Plus21-5 motor running 30% Werks fuel. I pulled away hard on him on a few of the runs. Needless to say he was pretty shocked, and so was I. I want to try running some 1/10th scale wheels and slicks with a slightly smaller pinion.

I didn't have any issues with the wires because I did the 180 degree rotation on the motor and diff. I still need to shorten my esc wires a little bit though.

Thanks again to Troy at BPP for all the great customer support and service.

I recently posted up some pictures of my install. Click the link below to check out my gallery.

Unfortunately I forgot to take my video camera when I went to the track that day. I am fixing a drivetrain problem in my Mini Inferno right now, but I'm going to be making a video by the end of this upcoming week consisting of street speed runs and some laps on the track.
