Dumb question brushless motors, they run longer than a brushed motor, do I need it in a Crawler?

More torque brushless over brushed. More efficient brushless over brushed. More expensive brushless over brushed. You don’t “need” it but it won’t hurt if you are building from a kit.

You don't. Brushless motors have only recently (within the last few years) caught up with the low speed control and drivability a brushed motor provides. The new brushless ESC's and sensored motors provide a lot of tuning options that you can't get out of a brushed setup. Brushed motors are really simple and hard to kill. There are a lot of people that prefer them in the crawlers because of the torque and drag brake you get out of a high turn brushed motor.

Hobby shop in new Orleans said they had a pack in stock so I rode over there. Went to spend $40, left $150 lighter in the wallet. They've got a huge selection of crawler stuff. Glad it was busy and I couldn't browse for long. Finally got a battery for this thing so hopefully I'll have some cool pictures later 👍🏻

True, but it is used primarily in the Microsuck environment. We can use it in the Apple environment but it still sucks there too.
We could start a whole thread on that too. It would be as bad as a i4wd debate LOL

Finally got to run it! Forgot to post the picture of the battery I picked up too...
It's a LiHV pack and way more battery than this thing needs, but it's what they had.

Really cool little trail buggy. The rear shocks need probably double the suggested viscosity (30wt is what came with it, I am going to try 50wt). This ESC/Motor combo is awesome though.

The owner of the Hobby shop that I bought all my stuff from told me to add 4 oz of weight to the front and recommended lead bird shot in the front tires, 2 oz in each tire, just how would you do this with the foam inserts and get it equal around the tire? Yea I know!
