where does the battery and how well does the 4x4 work

The battery is behind the seats. How well does the 4 x 4 work? Well, it depends upon what you mean. The drive train is so cool. It has drive shafts and differentials like a real truck. When I got mine I was at first disappointed because it flipped over too easily. So, I made some modifications. The vehicle has different holes already drilled so you can change the angle that the shocks are mounted. So, I did that. In addition I changed the wheels and tires. I did that so that I could add weights to the wheels. I then changed out the standard motor for a 40 turn crawler motor. Now, my Wraith is slower, but it will climb so many more things without flipping over. The best thing for you to do is to watch some videos on You Tube of people running their Wraiths through the woods etc. to see how the stock Wraith performs. The drive system is really cool with the drive shafts and differentials. Axial also makes the Ridgecrest. I hated the body on it. So I bought one and put a 1950s pickup truck body on it. Then it looked really cool and performed great. Also, the Axial trucks have an ESC made by Castle. You can buy Castle Link, less than 20 dollars, and adjust the settings on the ESC. That can includes the drag brake, the power curve etc. My initial disappointment with the Wraith was how easily it flipped over. The 4wd system is so cool. Look on You Tube and type in "Axial Wraith." You will see what others have done with theirs. In addition you will find reviews of the Wraith and video of people runnng their stock Wraiths. The Axial trucks, the Wraith, the Honcho, the Ridgeline, the Jeep Wrangler and a Land Rover, I think, are all really neat RC vehicles to own.

Joey, I have not used this motor to date. I purchase the motor to put on a new 20' Bennington that came in in January. My dealer and my son assured me the motor would work well. The other reason I chose the motor is that I only had storage for a single battery, and a larger motor requires two batteries. Mick

I use this battery in my Slash 4x4 and it works well. A ton more power which makes parts break easier

If by 4a you mean 4 amp current draw then this 12 amp hour battery could run in for a max of 3 hours. About half that would be more realistic unless the power draw was less with lowered sound levels giving reduced amp needs. I run a ham radio transceiver with mine which pulls about 1.5 amps on listen and 10-12 on transmit. I have used it for over 2 hours of mixed use and it was still going.

Not well. It has plastic wheels that don't do well on grass and it will drain battery faster. Is fabulous on cement/sidewalk.Note the battery care must be followed, buy the extra care protection. We live in Texas so heat was inevitable, they reimbursed us for entire purchase amount cause the battery is not common and can't be replaced. But had a couple fabulous years riding it with my kids andI am medium sized adult.

The height is 4 feet from the floor to the middle of the stop sign. My guess is that it would be fine for your Ram 4X4. I use it for a Mercedes E Class. The unit has been working great for over 2 years with the same battery.

I have a Volcano with about 10 hours of fun so far. Only buy a 4 wheel drive and brushless. The 4 wheel is spectacular and brushless is much faster as well as sealed component. The Volcano now comes with a 3500 Lipo battery and charger. I have NO complaints about this vehicle and the more I drive it the more fun I have. I added a 5600 Lipo battery and yesterday I got over an hour drive time at the beach. The factory charger looks cheap but works fine and shuts off automatically. Make sure you have controller backup batteries, it could be frustrating to start your fun just to find out the controller batteries aren't operational (<1.3-1.4v is questionable). Get a voltmeter.

Just like the wired model, the pickup sensor is located on the front fork in a location where the magnet on the spoke will trigger it. The pickup sensor then sends a wireless signal to the readout unit fastened on your handlebars. There is a flat battery in the handlebar unit and sensor on the forks. The batteries seem to last about 18 months. Only problem is you lose the data in the unit when you change batteries so it is best to record anything that you don't want to lose. If you are keen to have the unit accurate it is a bit of trial and error getting the correct figure for your wheel diameter determined. You can put the tire size in from the chart they supply, but that will only be within 5-10%. I measured a three mile route on the highway and then kept riding the bike and adjusting the figure until the three mile on the bike was the same as that of the car. So it is a bit of a pain getting this figure only to lose it when you change the battery. So if you do all that to have the meter accurate, make sure you record that figure. Overall I just love it. It beats the wired one all to hell. I have one on each of my bikes. Hope this helped.

Book says about 5 miles. That would depend on terrain,your weight and lessen as the battery gets older. Keep the battery charged. This isn't the kind of battery that you let drain and recharge for best care. Avoid letting the battery sit out in freezing weather when low. Great machine, been everywhere with it. Travels well. Loads pretty easy with two people lifting. Good choice.

Well, I have the 6.2L engine in a half ton quad cab with 33" tires and it gave me a very noticeable amount of power. Approximately 25hp but with that and the change in shift intervals it hauls the mail and pulls like a son of a gun. Only thing I have to say is make sure that you place a jump pack on your battery or a battery charger while it uploads the tune. If the voltage drops too low at any time some files will be corrupted, causing nothing to work properly. This happened to me and I had to reflash the PCM at the dealership after towing it in cause the computer was all jacked up. As long as you give the battery extra juice you'll have no problem and customer service from edge is great.

The cables where short for my side by side I had to buy more cable wire it would work for a four wheeler if you are going to have the battery with in about 4 ft of the winch should be good if not buy so 6 gauge wire add to it. AS FAR AS the battery any 12 volt battery will work what matter is how often you going to use it and if the battery is being charged back up like me I just have a 12 volt lawn motor battery but my side by side charges the battery as I am riding it if you are going to use alot without be charged get a deep cycle marine battery if not goi to use much but not hooked to charge regular car battery should be fine hope this helps The cables where short for my side by side I had to buy more cable wire it would work for a four wheeler if you are going to have the battery with in about 4 ft of the winch should be good if not buy so 6 gauge wire add to it.

If you use it in the woods for scouting animals then you want a battery unless there's a outlet and you have a generator? So economically its 4 batteries.

The answer to this question is of interest to me as I have a Nissan Titan 4x4 pickup and am considering the device for my use mostly.

I have had a dead battery a couple of times but I don't get my 4 wheeler out much so that may have been the problem. I keep a battery tender on mine and haven't had any more problems. Starts up every time.

My son was 2 when we got it for him and he loved it, almost 4 now and he can still ride it. Had to replace battery this year but it was only 20 dollars. It is great if you have concrete or pavement but not good in grass or dirt.

From. Everything I have read yes. The rear end on the 4x4 is the same as the 2 wheel drive.
