The Bind-N-Drive 1/10-scale Night Crawler is a transmitter-less version of the ready-to-run making it a convenient money-saving choice for anyone who already owns a transmitter featuring Spektrum DSM 2.4GHz Technology. The Night Crawler BND sports distinctive red vertical chassis plates, wheel rings, and shock bodies as well as a red-accented black body making it easy to distinguish on the course.
The Night Crawler is outfitted with brilliant LED lights and an outstanding electronics package featuring a LiPo-compatible crawling ESC with voltage cutoff. The included 540-sized crawler-specific 55T motor and high-torque metal gear steering servo will get you up and over obstacles in no time.
Features:
Front and Rear Solid Axle with Worm Gear Drive
The worm gear acts as a brake when no power is supplied. When power is supplied, axle torque won't throw the vehicle off-balance while climbing. A small gear assembly provides extra ground clearance under the axle housing.
Crawler-Specific, LiPo Compatible ESC
There's no need to upgrade electronics so you can harness a LiPo's power and performance. The included ESC, with crawler-specific programming, accepts NiMH and LiPo batteriesand offers a voltage cutoff feature to protect the battery and vehicle. The simple one-touch setup and pre-wired EC3 battery connector will get you to the rocks in no time.
4" Aluminum Shocks with Adjustable Collars
The three-piece shock body design provides durable, smooth operating shocks for maximum suspension articulation without binding. These shocks are adjustable and rebuildable to ensure and maintain desired suspension performance.
Front and Rear LED Light Set
The included, pre-wired light set is mounted to the chassis and is adjustable. Each LED will light up all four corners so you can keep crawling in to the night.
All-Metal CV Front Axle and Center Driveshafts
These provide superior durability to the driveline so you can handle the stresses of rock crawling. While other crawlers use plastic joints, this vehicle comes with metal CV joints and eliminates the need for expensive upgrades.
Multi-Position Battery Tray
Lower than the competition, the crawler features a low-center-of-gravity battery tray design that allows for multiple battery typesfrom NiMH and LiPo stick packs to any of the 2.2-inch Losi LiPo crawler battery packs. Secured with multiple hook and loop straps, battery packs can be easily positioned to adjust for weight distribution.
Molded 4-Link Suspension
Designed with the RTR crawler in mind, the 4-link setup minimizes rear axle swing and provides more precise handling. A 17-degree bend provides smooth operation throughout the suspension cycling.
3-piece 2.2" Beadlock Wheels
True beadlock chrome wheels, with 12mm hexes, hold the tire bead in place and let you change tires if neededall without glue. Better still, you can enjoy the style and performance of a competition rig right from the box.
2.2 Losi Rock Claw ™ Tires with Foam Inserts
Used by the pros, these national champions will help you dominate the competition and conquer the rocks. The Rock Claw tires are constructed with Losi's blue compound and have the characteristics, grip and traction to scale even the toughest courses.
Direct-Drive Transmission
Lighter and more compact than any rock-crawler transmission on the market, direct-drive transmission provides an ultra-low gear ratio for rock crawling and metal outputs for durability.
Twin Vertical Plate Chassis
On this solid backbone, the electronics and motor are mounted as low as possible to create a low center of gravity. Anodized blue for a custom look, the aluminum plates protect the electronics in style.
Zero Ackerman Steering
Designed with the demanding conditions of rock crawling in mind, the steering system provides precise control and class-leading performance. With 45 degrees of steering throw, you will turn circles around the competition.
Grappler™ Pro Body
The competition-legal body features realistic looks and added functionality. The narrow front and rear provide extra wheel clearance when the suspension is fully articulated and reduce interference on even the roughest courses.
