Mamba Max Not For 1/10th Scale?!?!

According to CC its not intended for Monster truck size applications. Many here have proven it capable, but they are trying to cover thier butts with conservative specs on it. They want to be able to claim that as long as you follow the specs it is pretty much bullet proof. I personally dont think you could smoke one if you followed the CC specs to the letter.

You could easily smoke one following thier rules.

12 cells, any of their motors, on a heavy e-maxx = smoke. Gearing will be a mojor factor in how long it takes to smoke. Trust me. Out of at least 15 esc's I have smoked, only 1 of them was out of spec. But ya, Castle is by far the best...but wrong application will end its life early. If you are gunna try it, try it with a castle....its the most likely to survive.

You've burned 15 ESCs?! :eek: You ought to change your name from Bomb-Proof to "sparky" or something. :dft012:

yea, no kidding. The best one was at the last RCCA race in CT, I smoked out the nitro guys in the pits.....massive amounts of smoke. The least fun is when a lipo is involved.

Yeah, it's amazing how much smoke they can stuff into such small electronics! :027:

The manual says not for 1/10 scale monster trucks. Emaxx is a 1/10 scale monster truck. Hence, not within their specs.

I can smoke it in anything, trust me.
