I highly recommend the tekin fxr combo. Fully adjustable and 3 cell capable. Novak rooster is not adjustable and a 2 cell lipo limit.

I own both esc's and They Tekin is just a better esc. Both have a great drag break but the Tekin has alot more to offer than just the drag break.( 11v lipo, or 10cell NiMh, fully adjustable paramiters, TINY ).

Super easy to program, it comes with instructions. You basically tap buttons.

I have had both. The Tekin is by far and away a better esc. The drag brake can be fine tuned where the Rooster is just on or off. Its smoother overall too and half the size of the Rooster.

So the 3S or 9 cell limit already takes the lower demands of crawling into account. | |

just wanting to throw a wrench in the cogs: i vote for the rooster cause it looks cooler  but seriously i'm using a rooster crawler system in my rig and am very happy w/ it. havent seen the need to change it out. Last edited by NeXt559; 10-09-2008 at 06:51 PM. |

Glad to hear Tekin stuff is working well in the crawling scene. I tried searching for info on the G10/G11 line of controllers to see if anyone has had any luck using them but came up empty. I searched Tekin G10, Tekin+G10 adn a couple others. Anyway, the Tekin site lists them as up to 10 cells so I thought it might be a good choice. Plus I am pretty sure I have one laying around I could use! Thanks in advance! Chris |

I had terrible luck with both Novak systems, the Rooster and Goat. The Rooster was sent back for a firmware update. It "jittered" worse after I got it back. I sent them back to Novak, who sent me brand new ones in factory sealed boxes. I didn't even bother to try them again. I purchased a new FRS combo system, and was mad at myself for not buying it sooner. It works perfectly. Tekin all the way!
