Default Novak XRS info or suggestions.

I am planning a new project that will run 2-75t motors. Will the XRS do it? or will the Novak crawler? I keep seeing a 55t limit listed but am not sure what to run. Any help is appreciated.

Back in the day,I smoked two XRS's in a row while running 1 60t motor on 7.2 volts. IMHO,they are junk in the crawler world. Spend some extra cash on a Castle or Tekin ESC and you will be MUCH better off.

I agree with Raptorman. The XRS only has a 1amp bec, so you'll need to buy a bec. It's easier to get a Castle Sidewinder; plus it comes with drag brake.

I've run an XRS with a 35 turn motor on 6 cell NiMh/2S lipo for years.

Bagged it up and ran it in a scaler underwater countless times.

But nowadays, I think you could spend your money more wisely.

does the sidewinder do 2 motors and if so, will it do 75t's?
