    Do we know a price?

    Very good option for crawlers/scalers!

     

    £25 on eBay delivered, I bought one last week and it did sterling service as temp replacement in the Hong Nor X1 CRT.  Wheels off the ground there was little difference between in and the 1267tg I had in there, wheels down with badlands though and it struggled on longer grass when stationary, but coped fine on the move.

    Still slow transit speed.

     

    They also launched the WP-23KG, I can't find a reputable UK source at the moment as it's so new, but it should hit around the £32 mark.  Specs are a little better, the big improvement being titanium gearing:

    No need for fast transit speed in a crawler, which it's ideal for and most probably aimed more towards.

    Pretty good price that too, for the power and waterproof.

    The 23kg might be worth a try to be fair, bout the same price as the savox which gets mixed reviews too.....

    MAN does it say for crawler NO! so there for.

    Nobody's holding a gun to your head, it wasn't built for speed, it was built for torque.

    Pick your dummy up Jony, I only said it would be good in a crawler.

    If you mean the 0231 then they advertise it as WP but I've broken 3 from getting them wet, there's Stu on here (mini-awd) who has done I believe 1 or 2 and his mate did a few as well.

    Shame really because the matching Hitec (around the same money) is a little bit underpowered, but great for being waterproof.

    I want one of these but can't find any actually in stock :(

    Been running one of these a little while now, though it's only had 3 outings in the 1:8 Truggy.  For bashing with badlands on grass it was just acceptable, took it to the track today with angle spikes on astro and it was ok but struggled to get me round some of the tighter bits well.  Decided to swap it out for a 1267tg savox, all well until I found this:

    I haven't ran it on the bench yet but it was still working when I brought the truggy in.

    Got one of these in my rr10 Bomber, on its second outing yesterday, the gears inside have stripped. Does any one know if you can get new gear sets for them.

    There are these below. Unsure if the LF & LW use the same gears but one would assume that it's only a casing and perhaps coated circuit board difference between the 2.

    Haven't seen any specifically for the LW20 alone.

    What does LW and LF differ in spec/build wise? WP must be waterproof but the LW is quoted as waterproof. Bit confusing.
