|  Cobalt motors and more ?'s Ok I know they are mentioned in other threads off and on but I am wondering if everyone agrees that the Cobalt motors are the way to go, money and performance wise. Do they really completely eliminate clod stall ? can you slow them down enough to really crawl ? What about the mamba max? Is there a better ESC? Would I have to change from the stock radio? If so what is a good radio without breaking the bank? Will the cobalts work with the stock ESC? Will the stock motors work with the Mamba max? I don't have the money to order all at once. Sorry for all the questions, but I have spent alot of money on my cliff climber and want to spend the rest wisely. I have two nieghbors with scorpions and I still can't keep up with them. I am in the process of stretching the frame right now. Hopefully that will help. Any other info would be helpful and appreciated. Hopefully this will help other newbies also. I also have a 1:1 crawler so I am trying to decide wich to spend money on. Thanks  :-P |

| what would happen if you ran a cobalt in the rear only? And the stock motor up front. Would it help with clod stall? |
