Default been a while

been a while since I took my crawler out, today was the first run with the CC sidewinder, I love it, dragbrake is a must have cant belive I went without it, instant forward or reverse is a pluss too.
does using the dragbrake cause the motors to heat up? I was bound up pretty bad and had the motor stalled out and when I picked it up the motor was almost way to hot to touch, i'm hoping its not from the dragbrake.

anyway here are some pics







This almost looked unpassable



but it was







and a short vid I took.



comments are more then welcome

Thanks guys. I'm not sure how much more I want to gear down. I'm running a 14t pinion. I have an 11t I could try.

Next time I run it. I'm going to monitor the temps. I have a feeling it got hot from getting power and being bound up/stalled out.

Binding it up caused the heat. Drag brake will cause little to no additional heat.
