|  Thinking about purchasing a Losi Night Crawler - have some questions...
CKRC has the Losi Night Crawler for $269.99 as a February Special... Seems like a pretty decent price, and no shipping charges on orders over $300... So, if I pick up a couple batteries and/or a charger, that would work out as well... If I plan to buy one at some point, is that about the best price I'm gonna get? My local hobby shop has them for $340... Anyone know what type plug the LNC has for battery packs? What kind of runtime/performance can I expect from these: http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=1909 Also, thinking about this charger: http://www.hobbypartz.com/thac6smbachw.html Anything else I will need to get up and running? Thanks, Troy Last edited by ScalerFab; 02-27-2010 at 07:36 PM. |

This pack passes over twice the amps to feed the hungry worms, those "punch" packs should be named "*****" packs. Oh yeah, same price. http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=2305 You'll probably wanna pick up some Deans plugs or Losi plugs also, the LNC will come with a Losi plug on it. I'd get Deans as thats most common. Last edited by indiana mudcat; 02-27-2010 at 08:10 PM. |

Male on the ESC and Charger (charger might come with one I don't know what plugs that one has) and female on the battery packs. You'll like the LNC, I've been helping my buddy set one up for his son, white dot rovers, a little weight and a slightly stronger servo and he's already got a sportsman win in his third comp. Seems to be a much stronger truck than the Axial.

for a charger, i went with an accucel-6. it works great on my lipos and nimh packs. it cost me $25 plus $15 for an a/c power source for it. it is the exact same (size, style, programming, etc) as my friend's venom which he paid a great deal more for. i would reccomend it. | |
