Why some people STILL don't get this is beyond me...

I don't know? That would be a useful bit of info. I would say 10.5's or so, nothing 4-pole, yet.:party:

You don't need a 4-pole to pull away from 10.5's, any cm36 would easly outpower them.

I destroyed a Rustler trans with the 1410 on 2S in less than half a battery pack (still had plastic diff gear). I can't imagine what 3S, geared right, would do to the trans. Maybe a mushroom cloud?:oh:

Hey Patrick...can we get some specs on the sidewinder sct esc? Thx!

He said earlier in the thread that it is very close to the original Mamba Max. The MM was rated at 100 amps continuous. He has also said that it can handle 3s with some care.

How many minutes did you ran?(With the 3s battery)

About ten minutes.

I need some help here : http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28499

Could you make any video with the 2s and the 3s battery?
Also,what gearing did you had?(Top speed?)

I finally got around to installing mine this week in my Slash 4x4.

I had to re solder some 4mm bullets to the MMP, I sold the Sidewinder ESC at the track Saturday, so I never ran it with that ESC.

I started off with the gearing at 15/54
Start Power Medium
High timing
100% max fwd

Turnigy 5200mah, 30c 2s

WOW!!
This thing rips!
Way more balls off the bottom than the Velineon with the same gearing and ESC settings, had no trouble pulling the wheels up from dead stops or a slow roll...
ran about 15-20 minutes on the street in front of my house, few trips through mine and the neighbors yard chasing curious cats.
Motor temps at 119 and esc at 109, ambient temps around 70's

So...
I took it back to the lab, threw my 19t pinion in it, jacked the timing up to highest, and start power to high,
grabbed a fresh battery ( same specs) and then zip tied my GPS to it for a speed run.

These are the same specs I used with a 3200mah 3s battery to get 61.9 before on my Velineon, this setup on a 2s I got 49.8!

I cant wait to get the Deans connector soldered on my 3s, I used to use TRX connectors on everything, im in the process of getting all my batts switched over.

I think i'll break 70 with the 3s,
I wont get to run it on the track this weekend, as I have to work, but I should be able to get it out there sometime next week.

Bottom line, go buy one!
Throw the Velineon setup on eBay and buy this already!

Just remember this system not rated or intended to run in a 4x4 short course on 3s. Doing so runs the risk of burning up the motor and voiding the warranty. Please do so at your own risk. If you decide to go this route, just keep the run times short and keep a very close on the motor temps. Set the timing advance to lowest, start with a conservative gear ratio and run some torque limit to minimize amp draw and heat. Good luck, and glad to hear you like it!

So, would it be safe to assume that the new Short Course Motor will be the one to use with 3s in a 4x4 SC?
I'll just keep this one on 2s for now...
Keep up the good work!

No the SCT motor is 2s in a 4x4 - They are saying use the 1415/12 IIRC for 3S.

I should've clairified, I meant the new motors, which I believe are the 1415/12 you mentioned.
Not the one that comes in the Sidewinder SCT Combo
