For a newbie most people tell you to stick with brushed. I am still running a brushed motor and I love it. I run a 35t integy v11 motor and it had plenty of wheel speed on 8 cell nimh and it stalls out right before I start breaking things.  |

I've just got in to crawlin and I have a mamba maxx and novak 55t brushed just runin a stick 7.2 and the batt is the only thing I'm changin that as soon as my 8 cell split shows up. But any way with my stock ax-10 it seems to have pleanty of power but Chip Cross let me use his 11.1 lipo and wheelspeed was like WOW but I'm to new to elect. to run them(more me scared of messing up a pricey batt!) hope this helps.....

I prefer brushed for crawling but some swear by brushless.Brushed motors start smoother IMO but just don't sound nearly as cool as brushless does.My next crawler will be getting a Holmes Cobalt Puller,I have a 35T warrior in my girls rig and its nice but I hear amazing things about the Pullers.Another thing that is decided by personal preferance,motors.

thx guys....one question bout volts and motors, i've noticed that people are running different voltage batts....how does one run a higher voltage batt and not mess up the receiver and ESC if your not running its own batt pack like some do....i would think one does this to eliminate the extra weight from the 2nd batt pack....or does the RX and ESC only draw the volts needed from the motor pack and not get a surcharge of extra volts and fry itself.........bob .... |

my speedo is rated for 7.2V but I just run 8.4V, having said that if I run any more cells I will fry the speedo. Check the maximum volts your ESC can take. |

I suggest using a Castle Creations BEC. This way you can run higher voltages, like an 8 cell split pack, and simply remove the red wire (middle wire) from ESC RX plug, this will eliminate using the ESC voltage through the RX. Make sure your ESC will handle the amount of cells you wish to run, keep in mind that Novak ESC's only handle 7 cells. I prefer higher voltage, this allows you to gear down maximizing mechanical leverage while still having some wheel speed.
