I have a Losi mrc and need a new esc and speed controller I was thinking about converting to a brushless. I don't know if I want something fast just for rock crawling? If you have any ideas or something I could by from you or if you have some website suggestions reply.

A esc is a speed controller,do you just want a good esc,or are you looking for a good motor/esc combo?

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 09:15 PM

I need a esc and a the converter but I could get a whole new brushless set uo what do you recomend going back to stock parts or brushless?

converter?
I'm sorry but I dont know what you mean.

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 09:35 PM

Sorry I'm new to Rc crawling it's the part that the servo and esc wires meet.

rock hard · 03-04-2011, 09:42 PM

rx? sounds like the reciever to me.
why do you think you need a new reciever?
I tell you,a picture is worth a 1,000 words.You got a pic of your setup,is it a mrc,or a micro?

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 09:51 PM

Thanks for under standing im 13 and just got into Rc crawling its a mrc I Need a rx receiver I need a new one because I got a new servo and soterd it wrong and I blew all of the electronics ( not servo) they did not turn on and smelled relly bad. Do you have any ideas? New brushless or stock? I'll try to get some pics tomorrow or Sunday. Thanks

masn that sux you wasted your electronics

You can pick up a used rx for around 40 shipped some times.
and I see mongoose systems used for around 65 shipped alot.

so around 100 and your back in buisness if you buy used.

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 10:11 PM

Ya it dose suck I wasted my servo ive been dying to get crawling all winter it's just one thing after a nuther thanks for the suggestions Should I go brushless? I think it might be to fast for crawling?

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 10:18 PM

Not servo I mean electronics

rock hard · 03-04-2011, 10:18 PM

There are some brushless systems that are fine for crawling.
Do yo have a good hobby shop in your area?

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 10:21 PM

Ya I do have a hobby store it's called Hobby Town it's somewhat close do you think they would have some good systems? I don't want to drop a ton of money.

slowtocrawl · 03-04-2011, 10:37 PM

my local hobby town tends to keep the mongoose system in stock and they should have a spektrum rx that will work with your stock tx. my shop is pretty good about matching or at least getting close to online prices if i bring in a printout of the website.

i have the 18.5 mongoose in one of my comp crawlers and have been very happy with it

ski doo boy · 03-04-2011, 11:05 PM

Cool thanks was the $ worth it for the mongoose? I dot want to spend
A ton in it

slowtocrawl · 03-05-2011, 07:29 AM

it really will come down to your personal preference, i got my mongoose for $100 USD and have been really happy with it in my comp rig any way you go will be a huge improvement from the stock setup.

if you want to go brushed check out ROCK HARD's motors

crawler mafia handwound 1.9 comp motors

or Holmes hobbies

http://holmeshobbies.com/product.php...&cat=17&page=1

those would both be huge improvement over stock, keep in mind you will want a new speed control for either of those motors

RickM · 03-05-2011, 08:18 AM

If you have someone that will help you with setting stuff up I highly recommend putting a castle sidewinder micro in with a contraband motor. Contact Paul with a private message to see what he has and what he recommends for you. You will find Paul to be about the nicest and most helpful guy out there.

ski doo boy · 03-05-2011, 09:05 AM

Who's Paul? I doo have a neighbor who's great with crawlers and could help me install the motor he's helped me with some mods to.

rock hard · 03-05-2011, 12:38 PM

Thanks for the kid words guys

I would not suggest my motor for you at this time.Honestly I think a brushless system is right up your alley.
