well its not a cralwer setup im usein the vxl3s esc an a novak 17.5 sensored motor stock spur an a 20 tooth pinion gear on a 7 cell nimh pretty good for the bashing that i use it for

Thanks. I should have specified that I'm looking to built more of a trail basher. More toward speed but still have some crawl.

[tdevilman2009]

no prob i like my combo i do have a few places that the low speed is good for olny thing not good bout the esc is no drag brake

i put that same traxxas combo in my wraith and just as quickly took it out again it was fast but it didnt crawl worth a damn. i had the stock gearing out of a slash 4x4. i was running 2s lipos on it. i didnt like it personally but if you already have the traxxas set up...switch it up and see how you like it. it doesn't take long to switch em back if ya dont like it!

Thanks folks for the advice. I think I'll look at the other set-ups over the Traxxis.
