To be honest Mr Ford has to say that, a) because they didn't build it with large scale in mind so hasn't been extensively tested and Q/A'd for that application, b) an XL motor is a lot of motor to...

The MM BEC is rated to 12 cells max so sure it'll work fine like it does with your 5700..but honestly why put the extra strain on it and waste the extra energy via heat? A $15 UBEC from here or...

The Mamba is a very smooth controller in my Savage, the smoothest BL one I've drove infact. If you get one I would advise using a high startup power, and relatively low timing settings.

Gearing sounds about right, I ran 18/66 on my 8L, tried 15/66 as I was recommended by some people here but it had no top speed at all..the 9L should take similar gearing.

The "amp ratings" on Feigao's are only useful for direct comparison to other motors in the same series, they're not an actual representation of the most amps they can draw. When you nail the throttle...

That wouldn't be a bad setup, me and a couple of others are running Mamba's in bigger cars - Savage, Revo, some truggy etc. I wouldn't recommend it because its outside of the offical specs but it...

Nice vid, could have done with someone behind the camera, but it shows the power the cars capable of. And that the Mamba in there is doing its job very well :)

Let me know how it goes with the spectrum mate, I'm thinking of upgrading the radio anyway - the recievers been repaired that many times i've lost count.

Got my Mamba today! Along with a 540C-8XL and new UBEC. I'm really impressed by this setup, my Savage had more low end torque and more top speed than before, no hint of cogging at all, low speed...

Mod-1 pinions are better than 32 pitch, however you would need a "strobe" slipper to use mod-1 spurs (1/8 buggy spurs).

I'm not sure where else you will find 32 pitch 5mm pinions, the ones I have...

You would be far better off simply purchasing some 5mm shaft pinions - a 7XL with a 1/8" shaft will probably end up snapping it, espically if you plan to use it in a fairly heavy car.

Just to clarify, 40K rpm is not the absolute max rpm. Its simply recommended not to run them past that because efficency takes a nose dive.

Another vote for the 8XL. I ran a 9XL in my Emaxx/Savage for a few months, and it was fine, but I wanted a tiny bit more oomph so picked up an 8XL. Not arrived yet, but my 9XL would run 130-140F in...

Who the heck comes up with all these names anyway..Feigao, Neu, Lehner, Schuzle. No wonder they haven't hit mainstream with names like Schuzle, and models like 12020, or Future-45HE, 88FO etc :D...

What sort of voltage are you planning to run? The more voltage you put through, the higher the potential amp draw, unless you gear down to compensate.
