The new XTM X-Crawler is here, as it was seen on the last 2008 RCX show.
XTM X-Crawler EP Super Class Assembled No Electrics
The XTM Super Class X-Crawler navigates just about any terrain - rocks, logs, other off-roaders.
Put your 55-turn motors on each axle and the 90.5:1 final drive ratio will allow you to climb over just about anything!
Specifications:
Length: 23.5" (597mm)
Wheelbase: 17" (432mm)
Width (F/R): 15.25" (387mm)
Weight: 12 lbs (5.4 kg) approx
Requires radio, 2 servos, 2 motors, 1 or 2 ESC's, batteries and matching charger, and paint.
Body comes clear and must be painted. Decals included.
Features:
Super Class Size, Almost Ready-to-Run
Machined Aluminum Gear Boxes and Axle Carriers
Ball Bearing-Supported, Steel Drive Train
Machined Aluminum Steering Knuckles
Machined Aluminum Bead Lock Wheels
Adjustable Heavy-Duty Metal Steering and Suspension Links
Machined Aluminum Shock Mounts
Threaded Aluminum, Oil-Filled Shocks
Clear Gear Covers
Machined Aluminum Servo Mounts
Aggressive Molded Rubber Tires with Inserts
Designed for Dual Motors and Servos for Precise Maneuvers
Steel Hex Screws Throughout
Extensive Parts Support and Support Forum
Note about ESC and motors:
The wiring of the ESCs and motors greatly affects performance.
Wiring 2 motors in series (where one lead connects the "+" on one motor to the "-" on the other motor) to one ESC will cause the motors to operate at 1/2 the RPMs, but have the same amps rating as a single motor.
If wired in parallel (each motor wired directly to one speed control), the amps will double, but the RPMs will be the same as for a single motor.
If you choose to use an ESC for each motor, power them up separately and perform individual setups.
