O.k. ! You want newbie questions, I have a full bag. Here is one: Is there an all around agreement as to which is better for crawling ; brushes motor or brushless ? |
I am actually not sure on that one. I have never had brushless in a crawler, always had good luck with brushed motors "thumbsup" |

Brushless in a Berg would also require 2 ESC's if you decide to go that route. |
There ya go buddy! Thanks for clearing it up Ryan "thumbsup" |
Thanks for the quick answer guys. "thumbsup" Another one : I'm trying my best to figure out what a dig is and came to the conclusion that it is a device, either electronic or mechanical that stop the truck from moving when you let off the throttle on steep incline. I'm I right or completely out to lunch? :oops: |

Dig, or "burn" Refers to locking either the front or rear tires on your truck. Front dig is used to either climb steep climbs, or steep down crawls, or to turn left or right sharply. Rear dig helps position the rear of the truck while up against something, or when you need your truck to straighten up. Now what your thinking of is Drag break. That is what keeps your wheels locked when you let off the throttle. |

So I guess the idea is to find the ESC that has the strongest holding drag brake then ? Right ? And about the dig, I think you meant to lock the diff action as oppose to lock the wheels from turning, no........... |

and yes, an esc like the Tekin FXR has amazing drag break. Well, on a shaft driven rig with a dig unit you are locking the rear driveshaft to keep the rear diff from spinning, but essentially you want it to lock the wheels. On a berg, you are shorting the motor out from working, and just using the motors break to lock the rear, or front end "thumbsup" |
Then I don't get it. :-( You're telling me, if I correctly understand, that sometime, let's take the steep climb example, you completely lock the front wheels, So the rear motor, on top of fighting gravity to get the truck up, will have to fight friction caused by the front wheels screaching the rock surface while pushing the truck up? :shock: |

Watch this awesome video of Greg Sinclair (86jeep) as he goes through this course with his mantis and watch when the rear wheels and front wheels lock. remember, when the rear locks, its front dig, when the front locks, its rear dig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnND53H_0kU |
Oh I think I'm slowly getting it thanks to the video. :) Man the soundtrack of this video gets seriously on my nerves, holy ****. :shock: Tomorrow I'll read the whole thread again I think cause one post talks about electrical vs mecanical dig and I want to clarify that (the pros and cons). Thank you very much ColbyTheKid for your help so far. "thumbsup" |

Just read it again. Ok. There is mechanical dig, electronic dig and dig switches. What is the dig switch function ? Is it stand alone or it works in conjunction with either the mechanical or electronic dig ? |
Im not really sure what your asking, but what I think what your trying to say is what does the dig switches do? |

Basically the dual esc shorts either motor out when engaging either dig. Dig switches short out the motors when pressing one of the switches. Press the front switch, it shorts the front, press the rear switch and it shorts the rear. The punk dig is basically like running dual esc's, just in a small unit you solder your motors and esc to, with just 1 esc "thumbsup" |
