Tell me more.

For my crawler, I use a 55T Novak, Rooster ESC and an Airtronics M11 radio. By far my favorite, because I don't feel like spending $200 on a Novak GOAT and ESC which I really want to (for a comp based rig I'd like to build).
I absolutely love my set up, the only down side is when I get to those sharp edged rocks, which I'd love to have the extra jump to hop over with a GOAT.
But I already can't solve my problem of the insane torque twist with my Novak 55/Rooster/R2 trans set up, let alone, the torque twist I would have with a g-damned GOAT set up. Those things are insane torque twist.

Sorry if I have any mix up of words, I'm ...highly drunk. Cheers.

...hey, it's my day off tomorrow.
