1 of my top childhood dreams was getting a "legit/hi tech" RC 4X4 rig.the Wraith Spawn was my 1st,which i recently bought.this thing is awsome and great vid
It is also longer than the WRAITH RTR original. I think you can see it in the front axle position. The wheels sit further forward. Allows for you to approach a wall and climb it without any angle.
Budget Guy RC Thanks BGRC. I do plan to do a box stock running video of this Wraith Spawn, then off to a "Harley" style budget upgrade segment, although with a RCNetwork twist
Hi, saw the feedback regarding compare between spawn and poison spyder, other than the ESC, body cover, any other parts are different? can all those poison spyder's upgrade parts be used on spawn also? still struggling on buying which one. thanks
Get job on the video RCNetwork but are we going to get any more video's on the spawn wraith?? I am thinking about picking one up for Christmas but I'm just waiting for some more info and reviews. Thanks!!!
+RzRs_4_River_Ranch Jorge That battery will fit in the Wraith battery tray. As for connectors, the wraith still comes with a tamiya plug (the white on that's not too nice for Lipos) You will need to replace the connector to match your venom pack
Hey RcNetwork. I know that putting the battery in the front of the wraith is a huge advantage for crawling. However it appears that the rc transmitter is taking up more space under the hood so the battery wouldn't fit. What is your opinion? Can you make a video on that. Thanks!
This is an old video (horrible production! lol) but this was my first Wraith with a battery forward mod: The RCNetwork - Axial Wraith - CKRC battery forward
I just bought mine about 2 weeks ago and the hand control is different, the one that is shown in your video came with my husband's Axial G6 and mine was different, do you know if they changed them recently.
Clarissa Saldivar Strange. Most Axial's have the same "flysky" remote. Flysky just came out with a new line, that maybe they're starting to incorporate. Axial is also owned by Hobbico, so I would be surprised to see a Tactic remote soon
I can't wait to win another wraith at a comp soon or eventually save up to buy another new one or used one, they are so freaking awesome, I saved up a few bucks and already decked my spawn out with all VP stuff, love it
That's true they changed them to dean's connector and no off on switch a different controller tactic one and now they even changed it more with a weird controller that looks like a bar code scanner ugly. I'm glad I got the one with the dean's connector and better controller more like the spectrum dx2e.
Martin Whitney In my opinion, yes. The Poison Spyder Jeep has some additional costs for the licensing of those items. The PSJ does come with the better Castle re-branded ESC (I believe)
Denis Monteiro Pitch is the size of the teeth on a gear or distance between. What Rich is trying to say is that bigger teeth can handle more torque. This is the way the Wraith should be built. Take care!
The RCNetwork down.. thanks for the super fast reply.. do you have any advice on what type/size I should get? This is gona be my 1st ever crawler.. thanks again!.. PS I'm ordering everything from amazon/eBay since I'm from the Caribbean..
Fowl Man here’s a link on amazon for the correct size: Gens ace 7.4V 5000mAh 50C 2S LiPo Battery Pack HardCase with Deans T Plug for RC Car Losi Traxxas Slash Buggy Team Associated Roar Approved www.amazon.com/dp/B00WOAWHUK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_d69vBb7KXGG08 Now, most Wraiths come with a Tamiya plug, however some of the newer models had “deans” compatible plugs out of the box. The battery I listed comes with a Deans plug. Also, you will need a Lipo balance charger for these batteries.
CYCO274 I got a really early edition of the Spawn Wraith.....Up til then, Axial used the FlySky version as seen in the video, but now that Axial is owned by Hobbico, I imagine they're trying to incorporate some Tactic line of products. Axial has been running Tactic servos for a while now
Why is it that everyone is on back order for axial I want to get the spawn and every where I look online everything is on a back order until may? Is axial not making rc's anymore or what
I don't see anything as far as an amp rating on the AE-5. On Axial's website, the following info is available: The Axial AE-5 ESC is 3S LiPo capable yet easily switched “in the field” between LiPO and NiMh battery types with a simple jumper - no more complex procedures. • Jumper 1 provides a simple plug and play choice between LiPo or NiMh. • Jumper 2 switches Drag Brake settings. • Waterproof design with waterproof On/Off switch / standard plug / laser etched heat sink Remember, this is a brushed system that's capable of running 3s
+Karie Kelly Not really about which is better......90% of the difference is the looks. The Spawn is a bit less in price due to not having to pay a sponsorship to Jeep and PS, The Spawn has a less expensive ESC vs the PS's rebranded Castle SV2
Really depends on what you do.....2s no problem. On 3s, you will start to have issues with the driveline starting with the driveshafts, diff gears, transmission, dogbone fronts, etc.
The Wraith is such a proven platform especially with the stock electronics, no need for an in depth review! lol The few updates on this has really refined it since the original Wraith
Really, the main difference between the spawn and the regular Wraith is cosmetic (besides a few running updates on parts) like the body, interior and such.. If you look at "Wraith" upgrades, there's thousands of videos out there. Also, keep in mind, Yeti rear and Bomber rear are mostly wraith, as well as SMT10
I really do not get that body. Out of all the options they were presented with, this is what they picked? Even if it was a different color, or some sort of graphics....but plain Jane off-white? I'll stick with the Poison Spyder Wraith for a few bucks more, I can do all the waterproofing I need on my own. The Wraith is a great platform, but I do not see what's so appealing about the body.
I actually like the "Plain Jane" version rather than the original wraith panels with the super bright graphics. you can easily change this body up and make it your own vs. the original. I'm also colorblind, I thought it was grey! lol Also, the driver addition is awesome on the Spawn!
The Wraith Spawn is hitting stores, as I type! Check out the coolest Wraith to date!
Did you miss the first unboxing on UA-cam of the Axial Wraith Spawn?
Check out all the changes!
Are you thinking of buying the kyosho zx6 kit?
Probably not. I'm running the D413 and couldn't bare to go back to ball diffs! Lol
Ow ok.
Thanks!
Should I get the kit or the spawn version? Looks awesome.
The Spawn has all the updated items. Beadlock wheels, molded body, receiver box, and cool new interior and driver.
The Axial Wraith Spawn has landed at The RCNetwork. Check out what has changed on the Wraith!
Looks cool The RCNetwork do a giveaway
Mason Knothe This one will have to stay at The RCNetwork for a bit!
I've just got this wraith and they are slightly different now. It has a dean's connector no on off switch on the esc and a tactic radio
Rob S yup
1 of my top childhood dreams was getting a "legit/hi tech" RC 4X4 rig.the Wraith Spawn was my 1st,which i recently bought.this thing is awsome and great vid
Great unboxing! I really want one of these
i remember this unboxing,i watched it several times before i get my spawn..
nice unboxing video RCN!..(y)
BLACK PARALLAX Thanks BP!
I love this truck,I just wish the battery was in the middle or behind the engine area,right behind the dash
Great unboxing! I like that body shell!
TOJO RC Thanks Tojo. I agree on the body
It is also longer than the WRAITH RTR original. I think you can see it in the front axle position. The wheels sit further forward. Allows for you to approach a wall and climb it without any angle.
TheRcCrawlerKing Thanks for the info....I noticed that a bit later, although I didn't see Axial mention that anywhere prior to the unboxing
Check the specs of the wraith RTR and wraith SPAWN. Look at their overall length and compare those. Only by a few mm but its there.
Awesome review rich, I like the direction Axial is going in, with the non licensed bodies and the costs going down for the kits
yeah, me too. I don't need a $50 premium for a Jeep body
I completely concur
This didn't age well lol
I like how.they put a driver in it.
Yeah, the driver is cool and really looks like it belongs. I always had an issue shopping for an action figure on some of my other builds! Lol
looks awesome rich would love to see an actual trail run video of it from you congrats on the new rc have fun rcing
Budget Guy RC Thanks BGRC. I do plan to do a box stock running video of this Wraith Spawn, then off to a "Harley" style budget upgrade segment, although with a RCNetwork twist
The RCNetwork
cool can't wait to see it rich have fun rcing
This is the Wraith that is on my shopping list. Thanks for the unboxing video, it really helped me make up my mind.
Good deal! It's my favorite Wraith version to date
Hi, saw the feedback regarding compare between spawn and poison spyder, other than the ESC, body cover, any other parts are different? can all those poison spyder's upgrade parts be used on spawn also? still struggling on buying which one. thanks
Great unboxing, love the driver details!
BlackSmith RC Thanks Blacksmith....The driver is probably the best part of the updated Wraith
I really like it, good review!
Thanks KM!
On the modern one, how do you turn off the lipo cutoff?
Nice video. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers, from Denmark
Jonasmollerjensen Thanks for watching from Denmark!
Is the ESC set up for Lipo out of the box ? If so how easy is the ESC to get to ? It looks buried in there. Great unboxing...👍👍.
Get job on the video RCNetwork but are we going to get any more video's on the spawn wraith?? I am thinking about picking one up for Christmas but I'm just waiting for some more info and reviews. Thanks!!!
Yep, should be doing a run video shortly. If you check my FB page, I have a few photos, along with a thread on RCC
good unboxing vid
I kinda want one! Kit version would be preffered 👍
would you recommend using a venom 2s 5000mah 25c lipo hard case will fit in the battery slot and also fit the connectors
+RzRs_4_River_Ranch Jorge That battery will fit in the Wraith battery tray. As for connectors, the wraith still comes with a tamiya plug (the white on that's not too nice for Lipos) You will need to replace the connector to match your venom pack
Want one really bad!
Alex zuga It is pretty nice....
Hey RcNetwork. I know that putting the battery in the front of the wraith is a huge advantage for crawling. However it appears that the rc transmitter is taking up more space under the hood so the battery wouldn't fit. What is your opinion? Can you make a video on that. Thanks!
This is an old video (horrible production! lol) but this was my first Wraith with a battery forward mod:

really nice review thks for the vid
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thumbs up! 👍
Maurice RC Productions Thanks Maurice!
Looks gorgeous bro!!!
Matthew Fant Thanks Matthew!

That's what I got, the Tactic in my box
I can't wait to win another wraith at a comp soon or eventually save up to buy another new one or used one, they are so freaking awesome, I saved up a few bucks and already decked my spawn out with all VP stuff, love it
That's true they changed them to dean's connector and no off on switch a different controller tactic one and now they even changed it more with a weird controller that looks like a bar code scanner ugly. I'm glad I got the one with the dean's connector and better controller more like the spectrum dx2e.
What type of batery he be provided ?
Just confirming, is that a Tamiya battery connection?
yep. Easily cut off and you can add what ever you like
If you get a different body like for example the bronco wraith, can you still use the scale driver?
Yeah, the body bolts in around the wraith's cage and the interior bolts in from underneath. So yeah, totally possible
wish they come RTR with clear shells
They're thinking of the first time RC'r
Does the instructions of all language?
This looks better than I thought it would. Is it a better Wraith than the Poison Spyder? Been thinking of getting one.
Martin Whitney In my opinion, yes. The Poison Spyder Jeep has some additional costs for the licensing of those items. The PSJ does come with the better Castle re-branded ESC (I believe)
Hey Rich! Pretty cool first look. Does that version have a 32p spur? I like the new waterproof features. Good stuff!
Hey mudguy! Yep, 32 pitch on the spur gear, which will be great for adding more torque down the road, Thanks for watching!
That means it's slower that the stock Wraith RTR but with more torque?
Pitch is the number of teeth on the gears, doesn't really have anything to do with the speed of the RC
Denis Monteiro Pitch is the size of the teeth on a gear or distance between. What Rich is trying to say is that bigger teeth can handle more torque. This is the way the Wraith should be built. Take care!
Nice ride but my friend... I love your choice of music !!!!
+Vlad Barrette Thanks Vlad!
What are the major differences between the Wraith, and the Wraith Spawn? As far as I can tell, it's basically just the body, and the wheels? Correct?
the original wraith a bit better esc as well - but yeah, body, wheels and tires
1080p please
Do you get the main battery in the box ? Or do you need to purchase separately like the radio batteries?
Fowl Man pretty much no Axial comes with a battery (except the Yeti Jr.)
The RCNetwork down.. thanks for the super fast reply.. do you have any advice on what type/size I should get? This is gona be my 1st ever crawler.. thanks again!.. PS I'm ordering everything from amazon/eBay since I'm from the Caribbean..

The RCNetwork thanks bro.. you're the best.. appreciate everything.. Will be sure to like ALL your future videos
I did not get that radio with mine I got a super shitty tactic radio whats up with that lol.
CYCO274 I got a really early edition of the Spawn Wraith.....Up til then, Axial used the FlySky version as seen in the video, but now that Axial is owned by Hobbico, I imagine they're trying to incorporate some Tactic line of products. Axial has been running Tactic servos for a while now
Can you swap out chassis for metal bomber chassis ?
Not with out some sort of modification. Two different platforms
how much was it?
I recently bought one but haven't rec'd it yet. Will a Spekrum, 2S, 7.4V, 5000 mAh, 30C, LiPo battery fit in it?
Yep, shouldn't be a problem
@@TheRCNetwork thanks SO much for your speedy reply! MUCH appreciated. :)
Why is it that everyone is on back order for axial I want to get the spawn and every where I look online everything is on a back order until may? Is axial not making rc's anymore or what
baja5racer1
Did you try tower hobbies?
How many Amp is the ESC..?
I don't see anything as far as an amp rating on the AE-5. On Axial's website, the following info is available:
The Axial AE-5 ESC is 3S LiPo capable yet easily switched “in the field” between LiPO and NiMh battery types with a simple jumper - no more complex procedures.
• Jumper 1 provides a simple plug and play choice between LiPo or NiMh.
• Jumper 2 switches Drag Brake settings.
• Waterproof design with waterproof On/Off switch / standard plug / laser etched heat sink
Remember, this is a brushed system that's capable of running 3s
i have heard that these come with most of the screws loose, is that true?
fordxbgtfalcon Totally not true........Axial does a great job of quality control. I found no issues with my Spawn
How fast does this thing go on open feild/road?
Out of the box, it comes with a 20t brushed motor, so not very fast out of the box - maybe 10-15mph
Which is better spawn or poison spyder
+Karie Kelly Not really about which is better......90% of the difference is the looks. The Spawn is a bit less in price due to not having to pay a sponsorship to Jeep and PS, The Spawn has a less expensive ESC vs the PS's rebranded Castle SV2
can u run 3s lipo on it ?it wouldnt hurt nothing??
Really depends on what you do.....2s no problem. On 3s, you will start to have issues with the driveline starting with the driveshafts, diff gears, transmission, dogbone fronts, etc.
Does The Spawn Body Fit On The Original Wraith?
Dakota Benn It should fit like a glove....
whats a good battery for the spawn??
+josh kidding It is 2s and 3s compatible. I like to use the smaller batteries like a 2200mah 3s
Awesome video!
I buy me one
Ich finde der sieht einfach nur cool aus
Ich auch:))
+Felix Koll Me too!
+Felix Koll Thanks Felix!
Please please please release a review now one else has and I want to get this truck but don't want to waste my money
The Wraith is such a proven platform especially with the stock electronics, no need for an in depth review! lol The few updates on this has really refined it since the original Wraith
I think I'll get it any dislikes?
Does it come with a battery
WizardSonmanerf No Axial products come with batteries
I thought you had to build this version on your own? Where can I buy besides amazon? I don’t like the reviews from them
There were two version. This one, the RTR came out first...then the kit version
There is a serious lack of good Wraith Spawn content, Upgrade videos are not there. Its just another wraith... but is it really...
Really, the main difference between the spawn and the regular Wraith is cosmetic (besides a few running updates on parts) like the body, interior and such.. If you look at "Wraith" upgrades, there's thousands of videos out there. Also, keep in mind, Yeti rear and Bomber rear are mostly wraith, as well as SMT10
