Well -- they will fit a modified Monster case, so will have a fan --

I don't have any plans right now to offer without a fan.

tc3_racer_001 · 06.19.2008, 10:17 PM

yeah, u guys are certaintly working super hard! soon it will be only you creating escs for the world.keep up the ideas :)

the mamba max pro, what is that targeted towards? those running buggies? or what? will it be the same size as a mamba max? if so, thats cool!

keep it up, meanwhile

I really don't see everyones issues with the fans. We use them in our computers to keep processors cool, we use them in our cars to keep engines cool, we use them in our houses to keep us cool. They're fantastic devices used the world over to keep things cool both electronic and not. Why is that some have it in their minds that a "properly designed" ESC should stay cool without assisted air movement? What is the real detriment of having a fan?

One big reason I like the fans is that it allows me to mount the ESC without so much consideration for air flow and especially in Texas heat keeps things operating better.

operating an RC vehicle in a dirty enviorment is much different than your computer in your home I dont use any fans on any other of my RCs and dont have any heat problems, I would like to see the option of being able to remove the fan similar to a plug in the RX...maybe have a mini plug in the side of the ESC

I have operated mine with fans in dirty environments without adverse affects so I still don't understand. If the fan is quality and the motor protected how is this different than running any other electric motor in dirty environments? Every racing vehicle on dirt tracks and mud courses uses electric fans in there cooling systems as well. Not too mention military and construction vehicles as well.

Heck, I'd like one of those Mamba Max Pros for my TT-01. I have an SS5800 that I want to run 3s lipo on since it has the 12mm sintered rotor.

Patrick, what are the ratings on the Mamba Max Pro in terms of current capability (are we looking at a sidewinder type capability here, or something between sidewinder and mamba max)? Can you give out a number or a percentage of what it is in regards to the Mamba Max's 100 amp rating if you don't have an exact number?

Rating will be between Sidewinder and Mamba Max. With the better heat sink, it performs almost as well as the Mamba Max... Probably 90% of the Mamba Max.

Sounds good! That's the new fun thing on my wishlist as of right about.............NOW.

wow, I didn't read this in the past 2-3 days. sure missed a lot. Great updates Patricks. Look forward to checking out the new stuff when it gets released.

Actually just got my Monster today. Hope it doesn't give me any problems. If it does I know you guys will take care of it though.

I agree with you jhautz...

Jeff - Basically a 5s MM with cross drill heatsink and fan mount and switching BEC in favour of built in USB...

Yea. But with 5s support. The current MM is a bit hit or miss on running 5s with a fully charged pack. Some will start and work perfectly, others will not, and yet others will work on 5s if you turn them off and on enough times to just get the peak off of the pack and then they work perfectly on 5s. Just want to see it work on 5s properly all the time.

The MM isn't made to handle 5S - -the back-EMF resistors and sense resistors are wrong, plus the linears are overloaded at 5S...

I'll look into making a 5s capable control board for the MM -- if you think that will be sufficient.

Thanx!
