|  1/1/ Losi on the way...how to equip it?
My losi should be here monday and i ordered the DX3R. what are you guys going to use for servos(steering/dig), ESC, motor, and lipo? i know everyone will be different but i am new to crawlers and dont want to have to buy twice right off the bat. i was leaning towards the mamba max..? what motor and pinion? 3s lipo but what mah? what servos? my local hobby shop doesn't carry much of anything so i will have to order and i wanted to get this all here about the same time. any help would be greatly appreciated. EDIT:Sorry,i screwed up the title...damn newbies! |

Here ya go, this shows a few of the options available. Of course there are still many more but this lists a few. http://www.losi.com/Articles/Article...ArticleID=1952 Tekin makes some good ESC's as well, It comes down to personal preference though. The mamba max is good, but I would get a Tekin ESC over the mamba. |

I am going to run a Losi Xceleron 17.5T sensored brushless with a 14-16T pinion and ESC combo, JR8711 steering servo, and Losi mini servo for the dig. Batteries I have not yet decided, it will either be 4S Lipo or 4S A123 packs, just depends how much room I have to work with.

Hopefully I can track a comp crawler down today (none of the local shops have received any yet.) Then I am going to rob everything from my SCX until I can scrounge the parts I want. Ultimately going to go: Rooster 45t combo TQ3 (going to mod with a 3rd on/off switch so I don't accidentally dig when I don't want to) 3s lipo Want to keep my costs down until I learn how to drive and know what I need as upgrades. I think this setup should still be competetive.  |

You might not want to use a 3s lipo with your rooster combo, it can only handle 2s. | |

I thought I read back on page like 60 of the other post that Xcelerons don't have instant forward to reverse. Is this true? I've been so tossed on what to run. I want a 3s but the goat only does 2 and the Losi has no instant F/R Oh almost forgot #479 serial number | |
