Axial xc1

[Revorunner]

Hi I just traded a Emaxx for the axial xc1 and I was just wondering what you all thought of the novak rooster crawler set up. And also the hitec 7955 TG steering servo. Let me know what you think

I personally wouldnt do with the rooster, or any Novak for the matter. Stick with Castle Creations, either a sidewinder or mamba max with external BEC and you will be set.

Rooster

Do you know of any problems that people have had with the rooster esc?

I hear they dont last very long and can only hold 2s lipo's. Just get a sidewinder with a integy 45T motor, external BEC, and a 3s lipo. Make sure the lipo has at least a 25C burst rating.

The blue one is what you want for a BEC.

I'll add my voice to the Castle Creations support here. Use their stuff for all sorts, from competition level crawling right through to 5700kV brushless and LiPo on a E-Firestorm and their stuff is tough, versatile and if you have the USB linkup to a PC really easy to configure a LOT of settings also. I have 3 Castle ESCs (although one is HPI branded) and they are all awesome.

Novak stuff is less expensive but I have seen too many Novak ESCs go pop. I use a Novak motor on my Comp rig and it's a nice motor but the electronics part of Novak's range is not the best by far. Oh and if you get a Novak don't drive it in wet grass
