What products from TCS Crawlers do you use the most and would recommend/why?
Mamba Max speed control. It is one of the best ESC because it is so adjustable; you can adjust your throttle curves so it starts out super smooth and can handle a 3-cell lipo which gives good wheel speed. I run a brushed motor, I prefer it over the brushless motor because it is so smooth at very low speeds. I like the new Losi Grappler body too, it's small and looks good. And the Losi Rock Claws are the best tires ever. The GC2 chassis because it works great in most all situations, it is very predictable.
