Holmes Hobbies has a Torque Master Sport (part#HH-SP45) 45 turn machined wound motor designed for rock crawling. The motor includes ball bearings. The 45 turn motor has plenty of torque to get you crawler out of some tough situations, but still has enough speed when a rock crawling course requires that too.
The TorqueMaster BR-XL (part#HH-TMBRXL) is a whole new ESC for crawlers. It has been designed from the ground up to meet the rigorous demands of low speed control and high speed power. 5 amp 6 volt on board switchmode BEC delivers unbelievable servo power at any input voltage. Huge 80 amp continuous rating. Most impressive is the 6s lipo maximum input voltage, giving even the most power hungry drivers what they want.
The stock settings following the instructions for the Robitronic Avid V2 is a very good base setup. There are more setups on petitrc.com for different types of tracks and track conditions, that may help improve the cars handling. Here is the link for these setups:
Robitronic has an affordable Lap Counting System (part#RS160). The lap counting system comes with 3 transponders, 4 receivers, interface module, receiver module cable, computer interface cable, and software for the PC. The only thing needed for the system to work it a bridge needs to be constructed to hold the receivers about two feet off the ground. Most people build the bridge with either PVC pipes or 2x2 or 2x4 pieces of wood.

Pictured above are some new option parts for the Robitronic Avid V2. The top picture is the 2.0mm Upper Deck (part#Ra0335). The 2.omm upper deck is thinner than the original 2.5mm upper deck. The thinner upper deck will offer more chassis flex to the car and provide more traction on low to medium bite surfaces. The second picture is the Front Chassis Stiffener (part#RA0337). The front chassis stiffener will help prevent cars from traction rolling on high bit surfaces. The bottom picture is the Zero Angle CVD Build Set (part#RA0339). The zero angle cvd's will stop the car's front wheels from chattering while going through corners.
Coming soon is the new Hot Bodies TCX (part#68700) touring car. The new TCX has a narrower chassis then the previous Cyclone TC. The TCX also features a new belt layout that moves the electronics and motor closer to the center of the chassis for better balance with LiPo batteries.
