|  clod stall forever?????
Whats up with clod stall?? I put 2 Momba Max speed controlls in my crawler and it did absolutly nothing to help with clod stall. I wired one to the front and the second to the rear. and wired both speed controlles to a single 6 cell 4500 battery. |

Hmm...I don't see those as mistakes at all. Running one battery off two controllers is perfectly fine. I know many people here that do it, including myself and have no issues with it whatsoever. My clod stall, if I have any at all, is so minimal it's not even an issue for me. | |

Calm down man, You don't just buy a bunch of parts and expect it to work well. It takes time. If you want a crawler that you don't have to build and it works sweet then I would suggest hitting up one of the vendors here or goin to e-bay. But I have to say, My $8 chassis, $10 axles and all my electronics in all my rigs does not even come close to $1000. And I bet The Wheelchair can go where you couldn't dream. It takes time to get it all right. Good luck with it man. | |

I would think you would get alot more runtime with that setup. When running a BEC, alot of your motor battery power is converted into heat, from being stepped down to the 5 or 6 volts the mamba puts out... Running a reciever pack is mandatory with that robot servo. Its a power sucker! | |

Well then I am sorry I wasted your time. You have really bad drag or something? Do things get hot? Motors? ESC's? Battery? | |

I have found the best way to eliminate clodstall is go brushless. Gear it as low as possiable. I run 2 esc's, one battery, if you run 2 packs the rear pack will discharge faster because it draws the most amps trying to push the rig around. Half your problem I would say is the Raptor axles as they were not properly engineered, gear ratio too high. |
