Losi’s®
1/10
‐
Scale
Comp
Crawler
Race
Roller™
uses
worm
‐
drive
transmission
gears.
Using
the
Losi®
rig
with
these
gears
requires
special
attention
to
the
setup
and
use
of
your
Novak
equipment.
Read
below
for
compatibility
and
equipment
recommendations.
Original
Goat
2S
ESC
(
#3219
):
Novak’s
Goat
2S
ESC
can
be
used
successfully
with
the
Losi®
Crawler,
or
other
worm
‐
drive
crawlers,
if
the
subsequent
guidelines
are
followed:
1.
The
worm
‐
drive
gears
do
an
excellent
job
of
applying
brakes
and,
as
a
result,
the
specialized
hill
hold
brake
function
for
the
Goat
2S
can
result
in
extra
ESC
or
motor
heating.
We
recommend
using
profile
3,
or
Servo
mode,
with
your
Goat
2S
ESC
in
your
worm
‐
drive
crawler
to
combat
this
issue.
2.
Low
gear
reduction,
which
is
associated
with
worm
‐
drive
transmissions,
results
in
a
wheel
speed
that
may
be
lower
than
if
you
used
a
standard
‐
transmission
vehicle,
especially
if
using
an
18.5
or
21.5
‐
turn
brushless
motor.
If
more
wheel
speed
is
required,
Novak’s
Crawler
13.5T
Brushless
Motor
is
a
great
option
to
increase
wheel
speed
and
retain
all
of
the
advantages
of
the
worm
‐
drive
transmission
and
Goat
2S
ESC
software.
Goat
3S
ESC
(
#3214
):
1.
Novak’s
Goat
3S
ESC
is
preset
to
the
worm
‐
drive
profile
by
default
(Profile
2),
so
you
should
not
experience
any
heating
issues
associated
with
running
the
hill
hold
brakes
with
your
worm
‐
drive
crawler.
Always
use
Profile
2
with
worm
‐
drive
transmissions.
2.
Instead
of
using
Novak’s
Crawler
13.5T
with
2S
Li
‐
Po
to
gain
wheel
speed,
you
may
opt
to
use
a
3S
Li
‐
Po
battery
pack.
With
the
added
power
and
wheel
speed
provided
by
the
3S
Li
‐
Po
pack,
we
do
not
recommend
using
the
Crawler
13.5T
Motor
in
conjunction
with
a
worm
‐
drive
crawler.
The
input
RPM
will
cause
large
amounts
of
heating
to
the
gears
and
gear
cases.
Instead,
we
recommend
using
the
Crawler
18.5T
or
21.5T
Brushless
Motors
with
a
3S
Li
‐
Po
pack.
When
using
a
3S
Li
‐
Po
pack,
it
is
necessary
to
use
the
included
3
Amp
High
‐
Voltage
Universal
BEC
to
ensure
proper
operation.
