Before you run your Losi Crawler, take Rich Trujillo's advise over on RCC, and check all
the set screws. Drove mine last night, and it threw out the CVD pin in the right knuckle Stopping it dead in it's tracks, almost bent the pin.
And on another note, 35t motors are about the the slowest motor that can be used.
Mine is crawling great on a 17.5 LRP brushless, but I'm having a really bad cogging issue with trying to run a sensored motor at slow speeds off a Sidewinder ESC.
ESC shopping today, I really like the motor.
Losi reccomends a 21.5 Brushless with an 18t pinion on 3s lipo, or an 18.5 brushless
and 18t pinion on 2s lipo
I'm really liking the way the motor installs:

And 45 degrees of turning! tires like the Chisels, may rub at full turn

The tiire foams are way too hard, I have some Aces Donuts I think I'll try instead.
