Im having a tough time getting my reedy radon2 16t 550 to hold my rig on an angle. Drag brakes are set to max on my 1080. Still rolls. I have a 9 lbs rig. With the trailmaster sport and crawlmaster it would hold that sucker all day everyday.

[@soggycivic8594]

That’s your problem, you have a heavy rig sitting at 9lbs. Think about holding an empty shopping cart on a hill. Now try doing the same on. Full size car….. my crawlers are 5pbs max and that’s with battery included and I have no issues with the drag brake hold at a crazy incline.

Did you notice any difference and how would these compare to the holmes hobbies crawlmaster sport for half the price

[@mmfmakemyfun]

Yes the 550 had better torque , smoothness and ran cooler. Not sure where your finding Holmes crawlmasters for half the price but I couldn’t tell you how they compare. This isn’t a brand comparison.
