Default Brushless Question

Is a 4600kv or a 5700kv brushless motor better for crawling?

neither, if your gonna run brushless it needs to be sensored. Is a 21.5, 18.5 17.5 or 13.5 better would be the question.

Neither one of those would be good for crawling. You definatly want to go with a higher turn set up, 17.5+ probably. I would also highly reccomend, as stated above, to go with a sensored set up. That will help you out on the low speed throttle control alot.
