lrp crawler motor/esc... yay or nay?

[ivan-ator]

I was interested in this motor and esc.Has any one used it or knows if it is good?
I like lrp and have used there motors/esc in other tamiya cars. :crawlers:

I have never owned or seen one run, but it sounds like a good peice. It is a plug-N-play system with all the features you want in a crawler combo.

Tamiya was supposed to have their own Volec Crawler motor and ESC manufactured by LRP, but I don't see it available anywhere in the USA.

thank u.you have very good info i will save and get the lrp set up.

[IceChilly]

Do you have to use a lipo battery with brushless setups or will a standard nimh pack still work?

[IceChilly]

I found the answer hehe...Yes :) I think Im going with another Tekin FX-R/45t combo this time.

[ivan-ator]

you dont have to ues lipo battery with brushless but it is a good idea to.

The Volac and Transpeed set up looks like rebadged LRP. I was looking at that on tamiya.com. I haven't seen it for sale anywhere here.

Found the Volac on e*bay.

You're :welcomeani: The LRP system is sensored and should have a good linear throttle curve, as well as precise low speed control. Sounds like a good combo to me.
