i got a crawler king for my wife and she doesn't want me to change anything yet but i'm thinking that will be the first to go. the gear reduction unit might help too. | |

Lol... I knew that... not really though. Any ideas on an inexpensive esc with drag?

what is inexpensive to you? rooster crawler is like 90$ i'd suggest getting the holmes torque master. you won't need another brushed esc. |

You can get a CC Sidewinder for around $75. The stock motor also has limited holding power due to is weak magnets. A better motor would help the holding power. Another option would be to change to a higher gear ratio. Change the counter gear to a 96T and go to around 15T on the pinion. The added reduction will give the motor more drag. Top speed will drop a little though. |

X2 on stock motor, very weak magnets, you will still roll with a drag brake ESC, so you need ESC and a Motor.

Get the GRU, use a 27t HPI Saturn motor, and that sucker will just sit on top of the rocks in neutral. Even at 45 degree incline or decline!

I have a Reedy Stock Star 27T in my Honcho which holds very well. Not sure how it would hold in the WK with taller tires. FB9 magnets!

I know this is kinda off topic but its esc and motor related... I have a velineon bl system, is there a gearing I could use for crawling or is it just to fast?

If you install the GRU it is not necessary to have a ESC that has drag brake. The GRU will give you more than enough braking power. I did that on mine and it works perfect. I can crawl downhill and I always have to apply throttle otherwise I wont move.
