You don't HAVE to use a crawler ESC, but it helps sometimes since they have drag brake to keep your truck from rolling backwards after letting off the throttle on an incline.

yeah the traxxas xl-5 is good aside from no drag brake, though you can be a ninja on the brake yourself. It will suffice till you decide to keep it or get something with a drag brake

Get the Losi crawler and you don't have to worry about drag brake. The worm gears keep the truck from rolling without motor power. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
