Default Crawler

Some of you guys might remember me. I got out of xmods and into these. I built this myself. 3/16 solid rod mig welded. Running Tlt axles with all the goodies. It's gonna have a Mamba Max esc, 11.1 lipo,Hitec 645 servo, and a 55 turn lathe motor. Billet rims and Moabs tires.

Dude really, that thing is sweeeet!!
Hmmm if you don't mind me asking, but why 11.1v lipo with a 55t?
Why not 7.4v on the 55T, to calm things down?

Awesome run times. Also I got a good deal on a pair of batteries! LOL. Can crawl as slow as you want. The Mamba Max esc is awesome!

If you're running a brushless ESC why not run a lower kV brushless outrunner motor? You'd have more powerband with that low kV brushless motor than you would with a 55T brushed motor.

I run the same HS-645MG in my Axial, you'll love that servo. Tons of torque and not a slow speed at all for the amount of power.

Good luck. I like the chassis design.

Some poser shots! Djking I probably have about 6 hours in fabbing the chassis and links. Donzii the Mamba Max is for brushed or brushless motors and from what I have read the brushed motor delivers smoother power for a crawler setup. I may try a brushless if I find a good deal on one, but the 55t does everything I want. If you read the box it says brushed or brushless on it. I should get some more flex when my tranny and electrics are in it, if not I am going to try some softer springs.
