Found a new home for my XL.
A little modding/relocating of the CC conversion mount, and a few new holes in the chassis.
A pair of left over links to stiffen the chasis, and all I need is for my 2650mah 40/50C 4S lipo's to show up...

Sooo much cleaner than the Hyper 7 conversion, and everything is right down on the chassis. Weight balance should turn out spot on, and I can shift the batts for rine tuning.

Not to sound like an ass or anything, but what is the point in putting that ESC in a 8th scale buggy? Is 6s not enough for you? :neutral:

DrKnow65 01.30.2011 10:33 PM

8s, data logging, no heat concerns, and high efficiency.

I would use a smaller amp version of the XL if they made one.

An 8-12s, 120amp, MMP with data logging and a 10amp BEC would be worth the same $350 to me. There just isn't such an item... Yet

_paralyzed_ 01.30.2011 11:19 PM

I love it! Castle needs that on a users photo page or something.:yes:

sikeston34m 01.30.2011 11:20 PM

I like it!

VERY clean layout.

I have a feeling you're gonna have to tame that somewhat for it to be controllable. :yes:

Ummm.......is that a 1518?

DrKnow65 01.30.2011 11:36 PM

A 1518, and he'll yes I have to use some limiting to control it. But that's the general idea, over build and under use. It should run like a top without being stressed at all.

Thanks to the data logging from when it was in the Hyper7 I figure it will run a 20 minute main on 2x 2650mah 4s lipo's at 640gr for the pair.

I may size down the motor with another castle/neu at some point, something lower kv so I don't run close to the RPM limit.

that looks outstanding.

niiiiiice! :D would love to see one of these beasts in person....can't wait till data logging is the norm in smaller scales.

DrKnow65 01.31.2011 12:33 AM

Shonen, :yipi: anothe magician :yipi:

Can you post up some more pics, data logs, or a thread you've got that has that type stuff in it?

Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing the benefits of using this ESC in something other than a baja.

Edit: Not that I'm uninterested in some of you baja lovers to post up pics and data as well! :whip::diablo:

Great!, I just ordered 3 Mamba XL for my 1/8th scale.. Can't wait for the HV version.. maybe 14 or 15S would be possible.. instead of 12S?..

kingdomracer 02.01.2011 02:50 PM

Yea, those 3 pics (drknow & shonen) on this page are just...:surprised:
I'm lost for words and that's rare:gasp:
I finally understand the concept of RCPORN!:party:

Just picked up my project I hope to use the MXL in:

http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...203_122136.jpg

It's going to be a 1:4 scale outlaw funny car, probably weighing less than 20 lbs. 6S to start, and hope to settle at 8S, but I have a feeling I won't need to go that high. Chain drive with two gear sets to help get the wheel RPM up so that I can hit 69 - 65 mph in less than 2s. I will start on the CAD right after I'm done with a 1:10 funny car I'm working on right now. Total build time will probably be about 6 months or so.

Next to the 1:4 body is my current 1:10 funny car racer. The 1:4 will have a 31" wb compared to the 1:10, which has a 14" wb.
