You will need a castle link. Th cable that comes with the MM is just a USB cable. MM has the castle link built in. The M25 does not.

Do you have a clue if the Maxamps 2S 6000 mAh lipos can be squeezed in there ?
Asuming you have Maxamps 2S 4000 mAh packs the dimensions are
44mm X 137mm X 14mm and the 6000 mAh ones are 44mm X 137mm X 22mm
Will the extra 8 mm cause a problem ?
(I am not looking for runtime but I already have two 6000 mAh packs)

The 6000 will fit with the adapter I made but it's too heavy. I think it's already to heavy with the 4000, using a 6000 will make it a brick with wheels.

The Ebay motor I ordered is too much also. It's rated at 8750kv and coggs like crazy, and a 10 minute run made the can run really hot. I'm going back to the stock motor anyone here need a 8750kv 280 motor?

That motor seems to be a 180 (20mm diameter), the 280s are 24mm.

They just got mine in today and it is 25c. Cost was $80.

themadbaja 01.02.2008 10:03 PM

I have the maxamp also.. Just hard to justify $80 for a 2200mah pack.. when I get the trinity 1350 for $30 a piece... not to mention you cant fun these no stop the motor will overheat.. just FYI if you need packs get the trinity best bang for the buck

rootar 01.03.2008 12:12 AM

the maxamps was only $40 its 2100mah instead of 1350mah

That's pretty much how mine looked with the 8750kv motor, once I tried it in the dirt it was pathetic. I couldn't go anywhere because it was so fast I had no traction. So I went back to the stock BL motor, I ordered a 280 heatsink w/ fan from Thetoyz.com for mine. Just waiting for it to get here now.

themadbaja 01.03.2008 08:41 AM

can you link me to the pack ? when i go on maxamps and look at the 3c 2100 pack its $56 Dealer cost to me..

thanks

rootar 01.04.2008 12:43 AM

I was talking about the 2100 HV 2s NOT 3s, i plan on running mine on a 32x45 1/18th scale track, bluonyx said 3s was silly fast and 2s was better and still plenty fast, so i went with the 2s.

themadbaja 01.04.2008 08:52 AM

I tried a 2c pack its alot slower with it probally 30 which is still fast with 3c it does 40 on the dot

rootar 01.04.2008 09:57 AM

haha if its faster with a 2c than a brushed mini-lst with stock motors then itll be fast enough for my track.

main reasons i liked this trinity were that it fixed the problems over the Minilst ; steering servo = you can run fullsize with out play, gotta have a tougher drivetrain since it comes running 40 out of the box since i wont be runing it that fast it should hold up fine on 2c forsure, it prolly has better shocks too - the threaded aluminum ones one my mlst2 blew out on the second battery pack, plus with comes with the mamba and a brushless motor, and can hold a decent sized lipo.

I have been pretty impressed with the NOW..
