Yeah - that motor is going to run hot. There's pretty much nothing you can do about it. I mean - you can drop the timing down on the mamba max, gear down a little (but it seems low enough as it is), turn on some punch control.. but other than that - it's just gonna be a hot motor.

You should simply upgrade to the mamba monster 2650kv combo. That would be the way to go for 4s. If you end up going 5 or 6s you have other motor options that are either more expensive (neu, plett, etc) or less expensive and not as effecient (feigao, medusa, etc). Personally I would stick with 4S and run the 2650kv with the mamba monster.

Yes - the steel spur is crazy loud. The plastic one is a LOT quieter but still makes a racket. I like running plastic personally. Never had problems with them and they're MUCH quieter.

BL-Revo,

How many mounting screws does the non-ultimate RCPD tray use? I have the RCPD Ultimate for my E8ight, but it is pretty heavy. I'd like to find something lighter, so I tried the RCM tray, but it only covers 2 of the motor mount screws, which I do not think is enough.

Thanks,
