Status: offline 		and whilst you eat clutches and overheat your engine into a little puddle of alloy trying to crawl with it - the guys who have their torqey as heck (GodDamn I hate censoring myself!) electric crawlers will crawl round you in a little circle then bugger off into the sunset.
I have a Savage, I dig the nitro thing, but they just dont crawl all that well- to slow to get the cooling airflow, and they have no torque at low revs, so you have to get the revs up to move (more heat) and then because the clutch is pretty binary (on/off) you then deliver all that power in one go and flip onto your lid.

I would love an x-factor (perhaps nxt years nitro investment) but not to crawl with.. unless you retrofit it with an electron shunting powerplant.
