Default Electronics!!

I just bought a crawler roller, and need to put electrinocs into it, I want a light esc, which can run Lipo batts, so I can have a low CG!!
Also what motors should I run, or what should I look for when buying a motor!!!
My crawler needs 2 motors, cause it has the motors on the axles!!
LMK
If any one has something I can use, LMK!
Thanx guys!

Get the new Novak crawler edition its awsome and it can handle two motors, and it has two li-po driver profiles with voltage cut off for safety. For motors most guys use Integy 55t lathe motors they are awsome.

I am guesing it is a clod crawler becuase it has two motors. Any pics?

For motors I would go for a 45 or 55 turn motor. Intengy Hand Wound ones are really popular.

You can also look into getting a ESC from a E-Savage or E-Maxx, I think they are cheaper than the Novak system and they can also handle two motors.
