Description
Testing a top secret prototype motor in my Traxxas TRX-6. I can't tell you what it is... yet.
In this video:
- Holding a heavy 6x6 on a slope in 2nd gear, no drag brake creep
- Drag brake adjusted on the fly from a thumb wheel
- Forward to reverse on high traction
- Minimum speed and real crawling on the rock pile
- Crawling in 2nd gear (yes, you're not supposed to)
- Motor temps after the run, and why big 2-speed rigs want a fan
You told me what you don't like about the current Crawlmaster 2-in-1. I listened, and this is where I'm at.
Should I offer a motor fan in the store? Tell me in the comments 👇
