Cold stall is when you are running at a certain throttle amount, both motors get the same voltage. Well if you are climbing the rear motor takes more load, and that voltage may not be enough to keep the motor turning so it stops. Only real way to help this is to run a lower pinion in the rear for more reduction, or run 2 seperate speed controls off of a stick radio independently. So you control both motors with a seperate sticks, and when you climb you give the rear a bit more than the front... That is how I understand it...

That is how I understand it as well.

It's actually an advantage on some uphill climbs because the back wheels won't flip you over backward. It allows the front wheels to pull you up. You do want to have some control over it though which is what Linc was talking about.

Watch 2:08-2:22 of this video of my Clod. I was able to get up a near vertical climb that would be impossible for most shafty's I've ever seen/used. It was even more impressive in person than on the video. MOA crawlers are nuts, which is why Bergs are becoming so popular.

Cool vid. I may have to mismatch my gearing. I have a few pinions here, and an not sure the truck has adj motor mounts as it is still in the mail...

I will post pics when I get it!
