Batch 2 V2 MMM

[Sammus]

I'm pretty sure the caps on ESCs are always across the power leads - but they have to be the right kind and the right capacitance. Even a lot of ones touted as "Low ESR" arent really low enough for something like this. So I've been told (personally got no clue :P)

AndI doubt it would be needed at all for the Mamba Monster :P People add stuff like that for a few reasons:
1) Super long battery wiring.
2) the manufacturer supplies it and recommends using it with their controller (I suspect this is probably due to poor controller design *coughnovakcough*)
3) when your pushing an esc way way beyond its recommended specs (ie, people running Mamba maxes on 5s and stuff)

Good info. Thanks.
Yeah, I got a couple of the novak 25v ones.
Honestly, I have no idea weather the cap to ESC resistance is any lower than my battery to ESC resistance and until I am able to measure that, I guess there's really no substantiated reason to install em is there? LOL
Yeah, I feel dumb.

Still, the principal makes sense considering that is essentially what the caps on the ESC do anyways(assist the ESC in squaring out the power wave), so I guess I just figured the added cap would reduce the load on those caps and take some of the heat outta the ESC.

I'm falling back to the idea that the MMM will be more than adequate for my needs outta the box and not worry about caps and modding the MMM.

Thanks again

Hello,

I bought on May 11th, 2008, a MONSTER MAMBA MAX on the Web site WWW.IMPAKTRC.COM .

I had the first version, V1.

I went up it on my MONSTER TRUCK with a battery LIPO 4S NEU ENERGY 5000mah, and it was geared 18t / 51t in my RACE BOMB PROOF.


Friday July 25th, I went to run. I have are 100 metres and the TRUCK stopped. I approached and I saw that the MMM caught fire!!!

The welds melted. The assembly was completed.

I have already run several times.


I give you photos


Bye Florian NICOL , french boy,

What version of Castle Link do we use for the V2? Because 3.10 does not see the ESC.

Wow...sorry to see it up in flames!

No wonder why flo ESC did burn, great bashing.

You must look the whole movie to understand !

It is me pilots on this video!!
Or is the problem??
With a MGM or a BK warior I made much worse!!
And are contro roasted has the started.
Anyway if castle is intelligent, they will find where from come the problem.
I I burned(blew) out a MGM and the problem was of programming, nevertheless it roasted at once


c'est moi le pilote sur cette vidéo!!
ou est le problème ??
avec un MGM ou un BK warior j'ai fait bien pire !!
et sont contro a grillé a la mise en route.
de toute façon si castle est intelligents, ils trouveront d'où viens le problème.
moi j'ai grillé un MGM et le problème était de programmation, pourtant il a pas grillé tout de suite.

C'est humorisitque quand je dit que c'est pas surprenant que le contrôleur ai cramé, en fait jai plus mal pour le chassis que pour le controleur. :)
