I agree with you, but go to Novak's website and pull up the Goat 3S page, they only recommend a 2S lipo when using the Goat 3S ESC and either the 18.5 or 21.5 in a Losi Makes not one lick of sense, but it's there in black and white. I can tell you I just ditched my Goat 3S and 21.5T motor after 4 months. The combo of a smoked motor and ESC shut down issues was too much. It really got under my skin after costing me a win. Its no fun when the ESC flips out and starts going through its programming again to figure out what it is and what is supposed to do. I'm far happier with the Mamba Max Pro, as 1) I have a linear throttle curve vs the Goat expo curve, 2) it can and will take up to 6S giving me more options, and 3) it is fully adjustable. I can tell you it is a far smoother and more powerful combo than the Goat 3S and regular Crawler 21.5T motor | |

| Is the Pope Catholic? Yes, sir it does All castle products are fully adjustable and I do mean fully! You can pick between instant reverse (forward-brake-reverse in the programming) or you can double pump, or you can lock-out the reverse. It's like Burger King in that you can have it your way |

Sounds good, I have used castle stuff some on my airplanes and they always produce top quality stuff. I just wish they could keep them in stock.

the best battery for your application is hard to say for sure. do you want 2s or 3s? and are your keeping the battery in the stock location? one that i have had great success with is an elite 1700mah 35c 3s lipo from cheapbatterypacks.com and it can put out 59-60 amps continuously and they have a 2s version. and they fit the stock battery tray perfectly with room to spare

I'm looking to get some better run times and maybe a little more wheel speed. I want the battery to fit the stock tray.

Common Sense RC 7.4v 2000mAh 20c LiPo pack Maximum Continuous Discharge of 40 amps and a Maximum Burst of 80 Amps They also charge at a 2C rate....(max 4 amps) which cuts charge time to 35 minutes. These packs fit the Losi Comp Crawler battery tray perfectly as they are short and wide. I get about 1 hour of run time and 35 minutes on the charger at 4 amps. I bought two so I would never have to wait on one to finish charging. | |

I had to about 4 times and got a friend to read it. Not how it reads, or if that is the case then Novak needs to hire someone who understands the English language. Feel free to run it... I saw one other Goat 3S set-up (18.5T) crap the bed, then mine started to act up a bit only to finally die off in full a few weeks later. Guess I'm just hard on stuff As until I saw my 21.5T motor I didn't think it was possible to smoke a brushless | ||

I ran a Goat 2 cell on a 3 cell pack with an 18.5 for quite some time. It works fine. I have talked to Novak about that. You can run and they reccomend a 3 cell when using an 18.5 or slower. On 2 cell they reccomend the 13.5 to regain the wheel speed. |

All I know is 4 months out of a ESC and Motor combo is pathetic . I know I drive hard and beat my LCC like a carney beats a step-child at the fair, but still not cool in my book. But I also know others that have had no problem with them too. Just with how I drive, the goat 3s isn't up to the challenge. | |

18.5 is 1650rpmx12.6v (fully charged lipo)=20,790 RPM 13.5 is 3300rpmx8.4v=27,720rpm 13.5 with a fully charged 2 cell is actually higher speed based on the spec's supplied by Novak. |

Okay maybe the most stupid question but is the LNC worth the money?

| Ultra basic question
For any who have switched from an AX-10 to a Losi Crawler, or run both, I have the same old question about torque twist... Does the worm gear axle of the LCC or LNC have: A. Zero Torque twist B. Very little Torque twist C. Other: ______________ I want to stick with a shafty, but want the torque-twist-less-ness of a MOA. Can a worm axle make that dream a reality? Thanks. |

I am getting a lcc and the guy has never ran it just broke it in and he is including a traxxas brushless setup with the crawler and the motor is a 3300kv is the too high for the worm gears? and if so what would somebody recommend to replace it with also what about staying water proof?

There is zero torque twist with worm gears. And I mean zero, not a little, zero. | |
