|  Changing my Crawler into a Basher
Well I think that I want to change my Crawler to a Basher/Part Time Crawler, So I am looking for a little more speed but still have the torque to get over obstacles. Right Now I am looking at two motors the Integy Matrix 35T Lathe Motor and the Integy Matrix V10 TwinTurbo 27T Stock Motor or other 27T motor, Currently I have the 55T motors but they are really to slow. I am how ever leaning towards the Integy Matrix V10 TwinTurbo 27T Stock Motor just for the extra speed but will that have enough torque to do some crawling? I also am using 8.4v 3600mah packs so I was wondering what the run times might be like, currently I get about 1 hour on a pack... |

I used p2k stock motors in a clod for a while. It had decent basing speed, and still way able to crawl decently. Run time for me with 1x 7.2 nimh and 2 motors was about 20 mins.

id say if you can afford it go with a novack brushless crawler kit. they have more than enough speed and can crawl when you need it, if they are a little slow you can up the pinion for more speed.

I would but right now you need 2 esc's to run 2 motors so that would be about 5-600 dollars  , but I have heard that Novak is working on a 2 motor BL system so I will wait for that to come out then I will venture into the BL world :-P...

i thought this might be a clod crawler and went back through to check and didnt see anything saying it was. but still the novack brushless crawler kit is turning out to me a good all around system. i was able to crawl my couch with my stock silver cans and clod tires, what do you need more turns for  |

Id probably say dual 19 turn motors and just play with gearing a little.
