Raced with the Mamba Monster this weekend. I did one 3 min. practice, two 5 min. quallies and a 15 min. main. Never pushed it hard as I wanted to monitor temps for the first few on-track runs. I was givin' it about 85% and turning lap times 2-3 seconds off "nitro expert pace". Not knowing for sure if I would be able to make 15 min.s in the main, I avoided "hammering" on it. I ended up burning 4350mah of my 5000mah, 20c pack and the controller temped @ 115 degrees, battery @ 103 and 1515/1y @ 139. The Monster performed admirably. Extremely smooth, just like in front of the house, and didn't complain the few times I near full throttle poped it over the triple(now a tabled double). Only thing I intend to change are the brakes; need to be @ 40 or 50% instead of 30 for track purposes. This weekend I'll be @ my home track and intend to push the pace and really put the Monster to the test. Hopefully, next weeks report will be a good one too.
