RE: super rooster
The Super Rooster should be fine with the 65 turns. Here are some pix of my old Clod crawler. Almost everything on it was from Thunder Tech Racing ( www.thundertechracing.com ) Hope this helps a little bit

RE: super rooster
^^^ after seeing those mudding pics in the other thread, that stick is one of my favorite crawlers i've seen. I wish tlt axles were bigger so i could put clod tires on, but it would look funky.

RE: super rooster
I am amazed at how good it crawls.....up and down stairs....up and over a milk crate(11X11X13)....i'm also running the super rooster esc (love it) with 55 turn lathe motors and stock gearing.......You will be very happy with the super rooster esc, it is so smoooooooth.

RE: super rooster
Here is one i just finished.
It is basically 2 identical peices of steel mounted with about a 3-4 inch gap in between to make room for the battery and elecs nothing fancy but it works really well. O yea and it has about 16-17 inch wheelbase
