1/8 buggy mamba max esc overheat ?

i think somethings off in your buggy.

Is your drive line free? bearings good? motor good?

and you gotta remember the mamba max is a 1/10 scale ESC. Although you can make it work....it requires some close attention

are you running a fan on the heatsink? on the mm it is needed, just a small 25mm 12v fan is the best, hook it right up on the power leads, also drilling holes in the bottom case helps alot to

lmao of all people briang is recommending a fan lol

Andrew32 : Yes the driveline are free all look fine gearmesh was ok too I tried many esc setting and same tried another esc also ...

lol, you're right. Generally I would never recommend a fan, but then again, I wouldn't recommend a MM for a buggy either. But since he has the MM, the only way I can think of to drastically reduce heat would be to use a fan.

ok for the esc but the motor ?

bad motor for my application I suppose ? :) or I know the windings of the motor was some damaged where the motor screws goes ...
