Default 3800kv slow crawl

Little vid trying to show slow control with this setup.

It'll do 20 mph with this 17t pinion but still has pretty impressive low speed control.

Who needs a 2speed transmission?!

Holy cow!

Nice for the high 17/39 gearing. Real nice.

Did you set your mamba x up per HOlmes videos?

Good to see you around again!

It's the castle 3800kv 1410 motor. Made for short course trucks actually.

Hey Benp! Yeah I went dark for a while hey? Got distracted by some other rigs I have but summer is on the way which means more camping/crawling

I didn't use Holmes setup, haven't actually seen it. I don't have a castle link so I just did what I could with the beeps programming. Was gonna take it to my LHS and have them set the aux cable to adjust drag break on the fly.

Is that with the Mamba X ESC?

I just setup a Tekin RX4 on a silly fast crawler (3500kv) and the start up is pretty bad, I can hear the gear mesh click as it starts up. I'm thinking its the ESC thats causing that.

Yeah it's the Mamba x. Sensored motor too so that helps a lot.

Yeah that's some good info. I'm thinking I'll grab a 15t pinion and swap out the spur for the 45t. That'll make a big difference right there to low speed without sacrificing high wheel speed too much..
