|  New night crawler
Just got my sons new RTR night crawler in, anything special I need to know or do before firing it up? I've heard some rumors about the worm gears sometimes being wrong and should they need greased or anything before running?

| Motor
Also, hearing that these stock motors are a little weak, is this true? If so what motor do you suggest keeping in mind that I have purchased a spare Losi comp crawler tranny with the dig that will be going on it later when money permites?

I took my LNC out of the box and ran it, no problems. I think the wrong worm gears were a problem of older LCC's. As far as the motor goes it is adiquite but leaves some to be desired, most will say a 35t preferably handwound, or if you got the $$$ brushless is hard to beat. Also weight in the in the tires helps with crawling, but it will amplify the motor and servo weaknesses. |

| Brushless
I like brushless, if I go that way will the same ESC work or will it need an upgrade? Just trying to keep the cost down if you know what I mean. Thanks

If you want to go brushless, your best bet would be a sensored brushless/esc combo.

Ya for brushless the cheapest new is aroun 150 for motor and esc. Sometimes used goat 2s systems come up in the classifieds for under a 100. It is amaing though what a little wheel speed can do for you're crawling.
