John Holmes is a vendor at rccrawler.com and has helped me a lot in setting up the brushless system in my crawler.

There is a guy in my local crawling club that has that motor and an MM in his Twin Force. I can't remember exactley what voltage he is running, but the thing has crazy torque.

I am running a smaller version (Hyperion z3013-14) in my comp TLT with a Mamba Max. I love the versatilaty of the MM, because I can use it in my Clod with the brushed motors and have drag brakes.

If you want to get some ideas for your crawler, check out rccrawler.com.
There are forums for each type of vehicle and at the top of each is a sticky with a photo gallery.

Also, Li-po packs are used quite often in crawlers. The runtimes are amazing with 6 cell Nimh (I get about 45 minutes in the TLT, running 6 Energizer 2500mah AA cells). I would imagine you would have even more with Li-po.

Thanks for the info. I am a member over there and have talked to him.
