Sorry dude, that duratrax is nowhere as nice and durable as a Tekin Rebel 2 or Super Rooster.

The XRS sucks in a crawler. Do a search and you will see.

Get the TR2, trust me. It has a super solid BEC and its really efficient. It can also handle dual motors easily. The 5 amp BEC is the best part. Just wait for it, you'll be very pleased. Cheap ESCs will crap out or force you to use a receiver pack, either way its a headache.

I have 2 TR2s on back order from Tower. I emailed them about when they were expecting their shipment of TR2s and they said Nov9. Keep in mind that this can change. That is a day away! I would wait if I were you.

i just did a search on it and i didnt see anything bad about it ecept the bec but idont care abot the bec cuz i use a rec pack

Just wait dammit! It is only a matter of hours away. Good things come to those who wait! Don't sell yourself short. If you wait for the TR2, you won't have to run a receiver pack, which would save you weight and give you a cleaner setup. If you would rather get the CHEAPER Durasux or XRSux, then goat head! You will regret it. I am done here now. Peace!

Seems a tad bit harsh, but hopefully you get the point he trying to make, which I agree with. The TR2 is well worth the wait.

DLE88 · 11-08-2005, 08:55 PM

The TR2s are In Stock now at Tower. Hurry because they are in Limited Quantities. No harm intended Sven!

e-maxxermatt · 11-09-2005, 06:16 PM

well my xrs came today and its great, i soldered deans on it and threw it in and it seems great, i did some indoor crawling and it didnt warm up at all and it seemed perfect, i have nothing bad to say about it!

OldSchoolCrawler · 11-09-2005, 06:38 PM

I don't meen to jack the thread but, how much better is the rebel2 over the original. I had two tekin rebels just up and die with out warning. I was just running stock cans and a six cell in a clod when the first died and the second gave up in a pan car with a seven cell and a 19T single. They just died, didn't over heat or anything. I still have one of them. the reverse works in it, but it won't go forward.
