Good thing you aren't using the crawler ESC, you would probably break something with the neutral brake. I like the sensored motors for crawling though. Castle needs to make one now. Sensored outrunner anybody?

I do like that idea JRH. That would make a great direct to diff setup with the sensor, especially if it could do something like a sensored startup to a certain rpm, then run sensorless with some of the great cc programming. Since castle reps neu now, maybe they could do something like that with the 19 series motors, those things are torque monsters!

I have hit up a few companies to make sensored outrunners, and a few can do it. The problem is that Novak can't/won't tell me how to set up the sensor so that it will commutate properly, and I can't get figures for the max commutation rate on the crawler ESC. Castle could make both ESC and motor now, so they are the next natural choice.

Reason for outrunner vs inrunner in my mind- same RPM per volt for a crawler but with a much larger torque arm and higher commutation cycle/revolution. Basically the amp draw could be higher with an outrunner running at the same speed as a comparable inrunner.

Nice! I am a diehard Land Cruiser fan. My dad and I have a BJ60 ourselves.

What is the go with the neutral brake. Why will it break things? Neutral brake sounds like a good idea to me on a crawler.

From what I have heard the neural brake is a bit too "strong" for some setups...
