Dual 5700 Kv Mamba Maxx

[ssspconcepts]

Hey all,

Thanks for your continued interest and for keeping this thread alive.

I have been really busy with a new assignment at work and my time on the forum and with RC Monster Trucks has been limited. I essentially built two very similar trucks...one with a 4.5 Novak (with combo bulks & 1/10 hardened gears) and the other a Dual 5700kv Mamba (with hybrid bulks & 1/8 hardened gears).

About two weeks ago I took the Novak truck out for one serious bashing session in order to push it to its limit...the 1/10 diffs failed. Since then I have done an extensive rebuild and have replaced the diffs with UE spider 8 gears. I also replaced the two-speed tranny for a G-Maxx single speed tranny with metal gears. I have also ordered a Neu Motor and will be replacing the Novak 4.5 system with a Neu/Quark 125 combo...all to be powered by 5S lipo.

I want to compare the two trucks and see which performs better. It won't be long now.

Sombody asked price...yikes! I HAVEN'T KEPT TRACK, BUT I'D SAY IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT EACH TRUCK IS WELL OVER $2k (not including radio gear).
