Default Blazer scaler

Some of you guys might remember me. I moved on to hobby grade 1/10 stuff. Here is a couple of pics and a vid of a Blazer I am working on now.







Here is a little vid of the drivetrain. It is 4wd but I didn't have another driveshaft at the time....http://s136.photobucket.com/albums/q...Drivetrain.flv

Looks good so far i see you have a 55 turn motor it seems to run a little fast for crawling i have a 75 turn in my tamiya cr-01 and it is a torque monster.

I am still getting it sorted out. I think I am going to put a Mamba max esc in it and maybe a brushless motor. It's going to be a trail basher.

Honestly for a crawler or trail basher i would go with a good esc and brushed motor and put the extra money in upgrades

As an owner of a brushless setup I would have to agree with Clint. I regret spending the extra $200 on something that a $75-$100 brushed setup would do exactly the same. Start with brushed, you can always upgrade to brushless later.

Nice looking start, F250.
