This is episode 4 in a series of videos following my first steps in to crawling as well as the upgrade journey I take with the Sherpa. Don't get me wrong though, you could easily run this rig bone stock and get great performance and many hours of happy trailing/crawling fun.

Hey Phil! Thanks for your Awsome videos on Sherpa! In the video you complain about the drag brake and reverse, but normally that's a easily programmable thing on Crawler ESC's... There's no way to you to change that instead of put a new one? or you just went for the upgrade and problem solution in one shot?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I watch all your videos and thank you because it helped me a lot.

I have a problem with my SHERPA.
The magnetic body support at the front is not effective during a fall or rollover.

Would you have an effective solution to remedy this.

thank you for your help

Bonjour,
Votre vidéo est très bien, le moteur est il d'origine. J'ai installé sur mon sherpa un hobbywing 1080, je ferai une comparaison avec vos réglages et les miens . Je vous félicite des autres vidéos que vous avez réalisé.
Le mien et de couleurs orange.
Je suis inscrit sur un forum français, le nom RC découverte. Vous pouvez aller voir les passionnés comme vous et moi....😁👍

Absolutely brilliant vids Phil! Hope you haven't finished your mods on this crawler. Was hoping to see someone, somewhere installing the Hobbywing Quicrun Fusion 2-in-1 in this crawler. Several of the guys on FB have done it, but no vids! Looks like a tight squeeze 😞
