Default My Clod with torque control ESC

Here are some pics of my Clod based crawler.
Spec's:
-Rockbull fullmetall chassis
-Moab XL tires in Cheyenne narrow wheels
-Hot Bodies shocks (purple)
-HS5955 servo for front steering
-TowerPro 995MG rear steering
-Integy lathe 55T motors
-Hurricane ESC with torque control suystem
-Jeep Wrangler body
-JR MX-12 6 channel radio




I use 4 channels of the radio:
-front steering
-rear steering
-throttle
-and the fourth for manually controlling the torque between the front and back axels.
This is an awesome feature of the Hurricane ESC, a spanish product developed by a crawler addict engineer, Enric.
Here are the complete features: http://www.lempo.net
Will try to take a video this weekend.

I have them on my truck this way too. IMHO I think they work the best this was. Tried em both ways and you just get a better breakover and I was able to crawl things that I could have never climbed if i had not changed them.

I know it's not my truck but to answer your question the integy 55T lathes are the best bang for the buck(IMO) if you can't afford brushless. They have lot's of torque.

That ESC seems to work awesome... The TCS seems to be an affordable way to get brushless like performance without the cost... Could this mean the end of Clod-stall???

Integy lathes 55T works great for crawler applications but I think they have developed a new generation of crawler motors:

Integy Matrix V10 55 Turn Single Rock Crawler Motor

The V10 motors kick lathe motor tail. Smoother and more power.

Nice truck hombre, como te gusta el esc? Me parece que elimina el clodstall cuando lo actuas.
