new to axial questions
 
-looking to gain some clearance on the rocks,looking at proline chisels, use mostly on granite rocks, no flat or round,smooth rock, good tire?
-also have a mamba max with a 6900kv motor, good candidate or just run the mamba with the stock motor?
-the rtr axial comes with a cheap looking radio, and it gets glitchy and freezes up sometimes .what is causing this? just a cheap radio receiver?
-I see there a rear steer conversion, is this just a novelty item , or a functional crawling tool? What do you do when you want to run fust front steer?
Thanks for your time,and helpin an axial newb!

I was asking about the proline chisels too and I have been told by most people that there are better tires out there for less.

How much ground clearance do you have?

I am not gonna say anything about your electronics cause I don't know as much about them!:oops:

As for the rear steer, If you plan on competing it is illegal in the 2.2 class to have rear steer. If you want you can pick up a set of rear lockouts and straight axles that replace the stock knuckles and hubs.

good luck!

Rovers or lepords will out crawl chisels everywhere.
I don't recommend unsensored brushless on a crawler. Even he stock motor will be smoother if geared right.
Yes the electronics are sad. Keep the antenna up on the crawler and a bec is a must on a crawler.
Rear steer isn't worth anything without a decent 3 channel radio but a dig is a better way to go.
Welcome to the addiction:mrgreen:

6900kv in a crawler??? WAY to fast....I ran my 5700kv with 3s one time...just to see...left 4 burn marks in the drive way...you need a way slower motor for crawling...I use the Mamba with a 35T and LOVE it...lots of wheel speed and enough torque to get you anywere you want...

Ohh and I use flat irons...but we have slate rock and loose dirt here.

the glitching MIGHT be your stearing servo...not for sure..just a guess.
