My overview of the Mamba Max 5700

[Sower]

I'm actually a little dissapointed in my Mamba Max. Although it might just be my setup. I'm running the 5700 in a Lightning Stadium 10 which is a little heavier than many 1/10 scale vehicles. And it's 4wd. My problem is the heat build up.

I have (2) 3100 mah Polyquest 3c lipos in parallel to give me 6200 mah, and I'm running a 13 tooth pinion. Timing advance is on lowest and I have a fan on the motor and esc. I raced for the first time this weekend and it shut down from heat. I measured it at about 185 (esc). They say it's safe up to around 200, but I don't like it. I ordered a 12 tooth pinion, but I'm not convinced it will make a huge difference.

I think I might go to a Neu motor that runs more efficiently. I don't know - anyone have any ideas or help for me. I'm a little bummed.
