You had a close call with the sidewalk there... It could have been disasterous! That truck is quick for sure, as if we couldn't already tell it was.

It got really, really close to the gutter...

Part 2

Aaaaannndddd then it went into the gutter....

I almost

when I heard the crash! It looked really good flying by the camera. You had a good angle on it.

For the "Rustler" fans, I'll be running again this weekend

I've installed the new version MIP's & will be running 4S2P 6600...everything else is much the same however I'll be advancing the timing a little to see what I can wring out of the TP cells

I will at some stage see how long the MMM will cope with 8S also. Does anyone have any opinions about how long it will last?

1) Why?
2) Your MMM -->

Haha good to know I've got an esc angel!!

I've heard/read of others doing short runs on up to 10S without damage to the MMM. I also used my series plug late one night by mistake after a few repairs during a bench test without any problems...I'm always gentle on the bench for obvious reasons

Basically, I'd like to understand what the MMM is capable of running in the "real world"

What's_nitro? · 06.03.2009, 09:03 PM

Well, in the "real world" it's rated for 6s. I can't understand why you would try to run it 33% over the rated voltage. I take it you will run the same motor? Same gearing? If one of those doesn't change it's gonna be toast. If not when you accelerate, then when you brake. Sorry to sound so "glass half empty" but you're basically testing to see whether you can waste $220. $150 for the ESC and $70 for the replacement. Plus shipping.

You may be right?

Nobody believed I could run stock sliders to 87mph (must admit I surprised myself too), in fact most RC people are skeptical of almost everything until proven wrong. I'm not out to prove anything to anyone or to build a better box but I enjoy the odd careful experiment. If it all goes wrong, well I guess the V2 will end up in the junk box & a V3 will be ordered

What's_nitro? · 06.03.2009, 09:36 PM

Well then I say good luck to you! Just make sure you get a vid!

lincpimp · 06.03.2009, 09:43 PM

If/when you cook that MMM, I will give you 20 bucks for it!

PBO · 06.03.2009, 09:57 PM

Thanks esc angel, video will be done...if & when

Linc you're on for the 20 if it happens!
