Mamba XL or HV160

I would give up 12S and live with the XL in a heartbeat.

Why?

XL has proportional brakes (eliminates brake servo, disc hardware, and gives software adjustments)
XL has internal BEC (perfect for a single servo RC, no CC BEC or receiver batt and simplifies wiring)
XL has better software as far as current limiting, brake & throttle curves, BEC voltage, punch control, ect
XL has integrated fan, though I have copied closely on my ICE
XL has mounting options OTHER than servo tape/ Velcro

Good points Dr.Know, thank you.

I'm going to run mechanical brakes
I'm going to run a rx pack
I never use the castle link I plug and bash
I'm replacing the fan on my XL with a clear one so the XL fan can be used
Maybe you have an older HV or less than a 160? They currently share the same case as the HV160

I've decided to go HV160!! I'll then have one of each.
