Default what is needed for this

I want to run a Noval Rooster crawler with Dual Motors (Moa's)
This is what the Novak website says: "The Rooster Crawler is compatible with single and dual brushed motor crawler applications such as a single Mabuchi 27-turn motor or dual 35 to 55-turn lathe motors."

What Will I need or have to do to make this work? Will save me from having to buy a new esc.

Looks like if your motors are between 35t and 55t you dont need anything except a bit of wire to wire it all up.

If you want dig then you would need an electronic dig of some sort, the most common is the punk dig. You could make a cheap dig out of some micro switches if you want.

Cool, I bought a Punk DIg Last Nite. Don't suppose you could tell me where or how to wire the Rooster Crawler esc for dual motors. THink its in the Manual?
If so I can Download it. Thanks for the Info. You saved me 130.00 bucks from buying a Novak M2 dig.

Happy Turkey Day

The motor output wires from the esc go to the dig unit which does the splitting for the two motors. You shouldn't need to change anything on the esc to get it to work.

No offense but I keep noticing that you are in the habit of buying things before you know what they do or if you need them.

Slow down, ask questions first and read the manuals so you understand the basics,

Enjoy your thanksgiving.

+1......TX, slow down a bit. Read BEFORE buying. While a lot of us like to help out, it gets old constantly bailing out someone that leaps, then thinks about looking.

And yes, as mentioned, you need a dig unit of some sort, either electronic or a servo dig.
