I run a 2300 roc412 on 3s and am quite happy with it. Ill likely have it at Reid this weekend if you wanna check it out. I do have under drive gears on both ends too.

Nice! It'll be nice to see another ascender out and see how it does with a different body. I really like those wheels too!
it crawls awesome. I had to mod the battery tray to get a big lipo in there. I just cut down the side of the tray and laid a axial one across it. left some room in the front so I stuck 8 , 1/4 oz sticky weights on it. I was concerned with it being tippy with the flat iron xls on it. Not a problem at all. Only issue I have are the shocks are kinda sucky. driver side never comes all the way back up. Research time. only thing left for tweeks to do. And put a bec on it. The servo is a little hoggish with the volts lol

With the 2300 KV do you still have any wheel speed?

I consider it plenty, for me it crawls well, and can launch off of a root/rock for a little air. I'll take a video and post it up.

I've seen his bomber in action. Plenty of wheel speed for a crawling build.

Just my 3 penny's, I'm running a 2300 on 3s geared as low as I can. I have no problem jumping a foot long gap, its the landing that gets me.

This is with under drive gears both ends, stock spur, and I don't recall the pinion.

Thunder, I'm not geared as low as Skybolt and mine crawls awesome and scoots. It could be faster for bashing but for trail work it more than enough. Plus I'm sure I could hear up some and note loose much on the smoothness. The HH 2300 is nice.

I put the HH 2200 in the wraith, I find it smoother than the ROC 412.....

Made my own pull pal. Not really scale or pretty but hopefully will get the job done. I did feel the need to get a bit mid-evil with the spikes to dig into whatever need be lol. It's super heavy and ugly but should hold plenty of weight lol.

Going to try a different motor tonight I have a tekin 17.5 Red line. I looked it up its 2500 KV and sensored so it should work for crawling.
