So over the last couple weeks i've been considering getting a crawler or a tarxxas summit. I was definatley leaning towards the summit but this kinda fell into my lap on a trade (plus i'm sure its hard to find summits on trades). I got it yesterday and have only ran a few packs through but love it already! having never actually tried or seen a crawler for real (only you tube) i was surprisingly impressed on what this thing could handle. Its a slightly modded AX10 with a diffrent chassis (i was told its a tuber TCS edge chassis with stainless panels), Rockster 2.2 beadlocks with memory foam that was "star cut", battery/ servo tray up front with custom linkage, bend chassis linkage and set up as "DROOP" (which i just learned what that meant yesterday, lol). The motor and ESC are stock but if i decided to keep it will be upgraded to the novak system. I love the look of this truck and the way it handkles so far but know nothing about crawling. I was told the way it is set up has its ups and downs but overall a better crawl. I'm guessing by having more weight in the front (battery) gives more torque on the front end to pull it up and having the droop set up gives it a lower center of gravity with less chance of tumbling over BUT less clearance?? Thanks for looking!

BTW: Not new to rc, just new to crawling (i'm a Nitro guy!)

its is a good start!! With more power and a good esc it makes a difference.

Very good start, and welcome to the world of going slow and having to think about your next move instead of going fast and turning.
