| Crawling without a drag brake
You Dudes. I'm thinking about trying my sensored brushless castle 1410 3800kv motor in my sport. I dont have a good crawler sensored esc but i do have a traxxas vxl3s laying around which does have a sensor port but no programming capabilities. Have any of you tried crawling without a drag brake? This is probably a bad idea but i thought id ask anyway. |

It's a bad idea. Definitely need it or you'll lose it going down. You'll burn the motor trying to keep reverse to climb down. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

What about... and hear me out here...installing a dig on the 3rd channel and therefore having actual brakes instead of drag brakes.

If you're after a cheap sensored esc with crawler capabilities (100% drag brake, instant forward/reverse) the hobbywing 10bl120 ain't bad for the price. I use one in my son's crawler, been dependable. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk |

| Re: Crawling without a drag brake I'll look into that! Will it work with a castle motor though? I thought the hobbywing stuff only worked with its own brands..

That won’t work in the TRX-4 in sensored mode. I bought one, couldn’t reverse motor rotation in sensored by programming so I had to upgrade to a MAMBA X Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |
