that's wicked..

Both guys in the video are running 5700 Mamba Max's. The second guy is supposed to be running a 8 cell Nimh. Wouldn't the 3S on the 5700 be a little faster than the second car.

8 cell Nimh 9.6 9.6V
3S Li Po 11.1 V

um....yeah

but the mm 4600 on a 4s would be the fastest...............

I ordered the 5700 Mamba Max motor/contoller, 3S Li-Po 4000 Mah Maxxamps battery, Spektrum tx/rx, and charger yesterday.

I can't figure out if I should put it in a B4 or TC4. The expansion joints in the driveway and cul-de-sac may be a little rough for the touring car. Has anyone bashed with a touring car? The accelaration and handling should be insane.

fine don't listen to me! j/k

nice man should be fast! i would go with the B4 myself................

I didn't want to mess with the BEC and extra cost right now. Seems a little simpler this way and I should get more than enough out of this setup.

Will the 3S fit in a MR-4BX ? The car is setup for side by side.

There are only a few cells that fit the bill for SxS.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????

What's the question?

Has anyone tried this balancer? And does it work pretty well?

"Great Planes ElectriFly Equinox LiPo Cell Balancer 1-5"

I have this charger coming in the mail:

"Multiplex Multicharger LN-5014 ~ 92531"

And this battery coming from MaxxAmps:

The Equinox is the same thing as a Hyperion LBA6. Metalman has the Equinox version and I'm pretty sure he likes his...

I wish I would have gotten the LBA6 instead of the Equinox. The reason is that the Equinox uses a particular type of taps that many batteries don't use. The LBA6 uses the Hyperion/Polyquest, which are more popular. I ended up just buying the LBA6 adapters to use Hyperion taps on my Equinox, so the $10 I saved by getting the Equinox was not worth it.

I just noticed the charger is DC input only. Is there a cheap power supply I can use for it? I can stick a car battery on the work bench and keep recharging it, but what a pain.

You can convert a cheap PC power supply...or buy my Novak :D.
