I've seen a rainbow Ferrari with green flames go as fast as a 1981 Toyota Corolla with red flames. Corolla had cross drilled exhaust tips and the Ferrari cross drilled brake pads. Dunno if that made a difference, but both used Bacon infused nitro.

I've heard those rainbow colored ones go just as fast both ways ;-)

Hmm...intriguing theories. If only they would coat the heatsinks and PCBs in teflon, the smoke wouldn't cause any damage...maybe on the XL v2.1?

Bacon, EPE, Proper flame curvature. This here is a good thread.:yes:

On topic- all failures seem to be bec related, not because of motor brakes or reverse.

I will simply run a rx battery pack. There is a great big spot for a battery in the stock radio box- I'll put my battery there.

That's what I've been reading as well. Has anyone heard of failures while running an external bec or rx pack?

With that, the off-topic discussion may continue...

Something Vin Diesel would quote.

Yep, mine failed using an external RX pack. Bummer...was running so good.

Hmm, that's strange. I'd rather have them without a BEC so there wasn't that part to fail. Rather use a CCPro BEC, as even if that burns up it's not a huge deal. I wonder if I should switch to an external BEC? Mines running fine so far.

It was running good. We need V3 soon. To bad we have to do V2 first, lol.

Ferrari paints their cars red because people don't know better and they are just cashing in on the ignorance.

Flame graphics only work on surfaces exposed to the outside. Inside the vehicle, they make no difference. You need proof? Repeat the brick throwing test outlined above, except replace the bricks with a certain flame-labeled lipo pack and a "regular" non-flame pack. Make sure both weigh the same.

i conducted your test today because it was my day off and being greatly overpaid i was able to but 3 bricks, i painted one red, one black and covered the last one with flame stickers.

after some thinking i decided the most scientific way of testing would be to drop them, (it was less work than throwing them anyway) the red brick hit the ground at .23sec the black one hit the ground at .23 and the one with flames hit the ground at .23sec as well, but what shocked me was the c rating, both the red and black bricks had a c rating of 0, but the one with the flames turned out to 150c, i was shocked at first, do you guys think the sticker could have caused this?

what was the temperature of the bricks after your test? was the 150C one considerably cooler than the red/black ones? Maybe it was defective?

no. i don't need to see it to know that the black brick with flames and a 150c sticker actually fell a little slower and was almost twice its original size after the test. it also got over 150F. btw, this brick was "brand p":lol:

Oh, RC-Monster. The only place where a thread about a Mamba XL controller can turn in to a bash MA thread. :lol:
