Axial Wraith - CKRC battery forward 

Dude, you got conned into buying their thing! I dont use a plate, i just chucked the battery on its side with a bit of foam to stop it bouncing around, it fits right where ckrc tell you but you dont need a plate. As for the reciever box, thats an issue. I cable tied it in the back with my esc, put a servo wire extension on, and soldered an extra few inches to the front light wires so they reach to the reciever box. As for the light controller not fitting in, i cant help you really, i still use the stock radio. It works really well, you just dont get many adjustment choices. Maybe try the old electonics in a balloon trick, or just a regular sealed container with holes in it for wires.

I mounted the receiver box in the back behind the speed control. You can drill 3 small holes to mount it to the battery tray. You will have to use a servo extension wire for the steering. I took off the LED lights for now. I i just slide the battery in thru the front bumper up the center. It makes for good weight in the front.

Good deal! I was looking at moving the receiver box back there too.

I'm trying to do the same on my Costum rig. I combined the Redcat rs10 and the axial wraith. I used the electronics from the rs10 and body from the wraith. Yes the wraith cage is a pain to mod because of all that bracing. But it creates a challenge to come up with solutions. I enjoy working on this hybrid rig

Electronics wise, those are the best components on the Wraith. The motor and servo need improvement, in my opinion. I still run the stock ESC in my Wraith, but switched out the tx/rx for my Spektrum

I just watched this. I figured I'd try the simple bat mod and it works well for me. You end up with a lower cg with your/this configuration but all of the complications may not be worth it unless you compete or are super competitive.... I'll likely be changing my tune and going this way eventually and I do give props for the battery Velcro which looks nice and I'm sure it works equally as well. Cool video and I'll fav it!

Yeah, lots of screw turning and modding to make it work, but it is worth it for the weight bias toward the front of the vehicle. I'f I did it again, I'd make my own.

Cool, thanks for watching!

Don't think I bother changing battery position to much hassle super good info and vid :-)

I just turned my battery on its side, wasted money on other upgrades lol

Check out the playlist for the Wraith. One is a hinged hood mod from CKRC, although I had to replace the hinges! Basically it operates like a 1:1 car

Am I the only one who used zip ties for the battery forward MOD

For the basic hobbyist, is the stock Axial radio, receiver and ESC good enough? I mean, I just wanna go forward, backward and around...Thanks!

Buy a traxxas waterproof receiver box and it fits right between the shock mounts perfectly with no problems!

I found the Battery Forward Mod to be the easiest of all the mods I've done.... I did it, while building the Kit! lol The Fastback Mod was harder lol.

how do you remove the battery with the hood on with the screws in?

Does the Bomber have setting for use with a lipo battery?

Where did you purchase your interior?

What have i got my self into :S

How do you fine the edges on the side panels.

mount receiverbox infront of passenger seat.

Could have done that for free
