Imagewhat is that little tan ideler doing there?
Imagewhat is that???it looks like a gear reduction with a bit motor!!!
Imageindeed it is. its a highly modified se servo with a hardwired bit motor in it. it is slow but that doesnt matter, its for crawling. this thing has LOADS of torque!!!it can climb anything as long as its not too steep...what do you guys think?now i need to install the stupid capacitor that kept it from glitching, doh... :P i am going to enter this in some contests!like my shiny metallic rims also? :lol:

thanks guys, the winch would be kind of hard but not out of the question. the truck pulled twenty 260 sized motors on a little cart around and the total weight was 2.6 pounds. i awas afraid after that that i would strip something out. i was pushing down on the chassis to make the tires get grip.dont worry hog ill have something out soon.

the only bad thing ive noticed is it has trouble turning because it goes so slow and it usually depends on the speed to put more pressure on the wheels so it would turn better. im not complaining though, i love this little crawler.
