Buy a ParkBEC that runs between your main pack and your Rx. There are a bunch of different ones out there. I hate to say it, but I think its your robot servo's. They are just too cool for school.

As if brushless has anything to do with driving... Having had more than my fair share of brushless systems over the years, I think crawlers are the last R/C to really benefit from them. Sure they have power, but at what cost?

Almost what I meant... In the last two years or so, brushless has definately become more affordable. What I am referring to is cost of repairs to the rest of your rig when you power out of a jam. I have seen lots of stripped everything using brushless.

Now if you want real power using a brushless system. Go 3s Lipo and gear down to the speed you need. My old-old Clod from about 5 years ago had two Lehner sensored brushless motors in it. I could haul around 50 pounds of dead weight (once the tires hooked up) on 12v. I wish I still had that rig, would have made an unstoppable crawler. Stainless steel inner gears, ceramic bearings... My clod puller was damn fun. At a truck pull event (full size) we hooked about 15 of our pullers to a 4x4 Tacoma and pulled it through the event. Was pretty cool.

Whats the date for the next Reno Comp?

FlexnTLT, Like the new look. Just trim down that servo horn, doesn't look much like a radiator fan that low and on the axle.
