Default New NOVAK Crawler esc & motor

Has anyone used this new NOVAK "Crawler" esc & motor kit?
I burnt up my esc & motor started smokin today with my wheely king. Now i get to buy more goodies fer it , but i dont wanna spend too much:-( . I saw this thing briefly on the net & kept gettin booted off, so i didnt have much time to read up on it. I know it has programmable reverse delay from 0 - 4 seconds, & comes with a 55t motor. But i still wanna know if anyone has used it & how they like it...... Thanks

Because that ain't no 55t motor.

for 250 bucks it better be more than a 55t motor!
i think your wrong on two counts, 1, it definatle aint no 55t, after running you'll know
2, i wouldnt swear to it but i'm pretty sure adjustable brake delay isnt one of the profiles on the esc.

On six cells it does have decent wheelspeed, but it also has nice smooth lowspeed crawl, the best of both worlds. My buddy geared his pede tranny in this TLT with a 90t spur and 12t pinion, and he has nice smooth crawl, and plenty of wheelspeed for crawling.

yeah thats the big thing with the crawler system, its got tons of low end with plenty of wheelspeed on tap. i had one in a scale rig with a txt trans and 13t pinion, i'm redoing it now and i'm gonna use a 20t pinion and i bet she'll still have plenty of grunt.
