I'm a believer in the Mamba Max. I push mine pretty hard and they never let up. I also have a Sidewinder on my sons truck. Works like a champ.

a good basic setup would be running a ''Novak Rooster" with two Novak 55t motors wired in parallel. This method of wiring gives you faster speeds but shorter run times. series This method of wiring gives you higher torque and longer run times but lower speeds. here is alink to novak's how to guide. its a great read. | |

alot of places sell a novak rooster and a 55t motor that has internal capacitor's for just over 100$ for the kit. so all u would need would be one more motor. there are alot of good Esc's out there, just make sure to do some research. there are waterproof esc's also just to mention it too. | |

how i wired mine when i just ran 1 esc is is in parallel. + and - from the esc go's to the + & - of the first motor then run jumpers to the other motor. you do have to change the wiring on the second motor so the axles spin the same way. | |

i have not timed it yet but running a brand 6 cell nimh which powers my 2-esc's and servos it seems to last 45 minutes. i have 2-6 cell and 1-7 cell hump packs and only usualy switch between 2 running as the other is charging. with my setup if i just had 2-6 cell packs i could constantly run them but by adding a third it gives 45 minutes of cool down time. |

Ok I have totally changed everything on my X-Crawler now I am running a pimp cane gonna give it a try and I am running 416 in/oz Hitec servos now along with the micro servo dig unit. I went ahead and got a new controller to the RDS8000 crawler by Airteonics. I have never had any servo problems in the past till I started crawling and have never had to set end points either. So how do you know if you have your end points set correctly? I just want to make sure I don't burn up anymore money I have only been into rc crawling for about 3 months and already have a ton of money in this rig. Please help. Thank You

When you turn the wheels to full lock the servo will buzz because it is still trying to turn. Keep it turned and back of your end point until it stops buzzing then go another click or two to keep it safe. Your servo should not make any noise when the wheels are at full lock. This can also be adjusted by changing the dual rate setting on cheaper radios.

I have had the Jr DS-8711 which is rated @ 439oz which held up on mine until I weighted my wheels. Each wheel now weighs just under 3lbs each. I had to step into a stronger servo which I chose a HiTec HS-M7990TH that works great now. It has 611ounces @ 7.4v. So you could go with that. They are expensive though. $200 each.
