Well I've been considering getting a new comp crawler and was looking at the LCC or a rc4wd bully setup. I didn't really like the problems with the worm gears but last night I drove the losi night crawler and that thing went pretty much everywhere I pointed it! The guy was sayin he thinks its the tranny in the LCC is what gives it problems. So I was instantly in love with the LNC but would like dig so I'm wondering what all of your oppinions are between the two Losi's or if I should just build a moa rig.

Get the LCC. I'm not sure where he's getting his information but there have been very few reported issues with the LCC tranny.

I think he was talking about the low run times and motors burning up, he said the night crawler seems spin more "freely" I guess than the LCC. I didn't remember everything he said but I know he had both and likes the night crawler more

Well, if you like the night crawler, might as well get the LCC. Night Crawler is the RTR version of the LCC. And if you want dig ability later, it's already installed.

The low run times and the motors burning up have nothing to do with the transmission. The LNC and the LCC both have worm gear axles and worms are much more inefficient than your normal crawler gearing. It takes a lot more motor to move these things, LCC or LNC. The inefficiency also contributes to lower run times.

Neither will spin freely, the worm gears act as a natural drag brake. Let off on the gas and it will stop. Period. And that's both of them.

I was just guessing maybe the different ratios of the tranny's caused it or something.. so I guess the trans is the only real big difference huh?

i run the LNC in our sportsman class with a few other guys and i am certain these are the trucks to beat, i run the novak goats 3s 18.5 system and a 3s lipo and the truck is a beast....i put all steel gears and aluminum tranny case in the truck....all the parts are made by HR for the LNC

Ya the guy that's been telling me this owns the local track and all that and he said he's been winning almost every week and has faster times with his LNC over his berg. I'm thinking ill just get the LNC and if I really want dig ill go moa
