So how will you be using your mamba monster?
 
What kind of setup do you guys plan on running with your new mamaba monster??? (when it ships)

I am going to be trying mine with my kb45 8XL on 6s in a heavy savage, what about you guys....

lincpimp 04.29.2008 02:59 PM

Well, mine will go with either a feigao 10xl, or a hacker 11xl in a hyper st on 6s. If it works well, I may replace a few of my MM that I am currently using with 7xl motors on 4s. They tend to run a bit warm. I will definately buy a few of the mmm/neu combos for 4s use too. So I may end up with a few of these escs!

TexasSP 04.29.2008 03:08 PM

I am gonna tool with it in my e-maxx first while I finish contemplating what I want next.

Linc, you will probably own a dozen Monsters in the end...........and another 50 motors!

Can't decide if I want to convert another revo, or go with something else.

I have thought about an Ofna DM1 Pro, but don't know if I want on road.

For off road I want a losi something or other, it's between an 8ight-T, LST2, and Muggy........

Unfortunately, I don't have linc's budget! :oh:

I have 7 mm at the moment, but I have enough 10th 2wd vehicles and motors good for 2s lipo, so they will be put to good use if they are replaced with MMMs. I do have quite a few motors! Really need to stop buying them! I can't help myself, just picked up a hacker b50 11xl for $90 shipped! Sounds like it may be time for another motor sale!

VintageMA 04.29.2008 03:15 PM

Gonna strap it into my 1:1 S4 and turn it into a hybrid..... :tongue:

johnrobholmes 04.29.2008 03:27 PM

Gonna put one on my 6s electric motorcycle. Perfect.

sleebus.jones 04.29.2008 03:33 PM

Going into the emaxx with 6S A123 and a 10XL. I may end up going 6S2P on that, we'll see if during testing I really need that or not. Planning on gearing for around 40 mph.

Another will go into the Hyper 7 with 6S A123, probably another 10XL with that, or maybe I'll drop the 2200kv in the emaxx and put the 10XL in the hyper.

skellyo 04.29.2008 04:05 PM

Going into my CRT on a 1515/1Y on 4S to begin with.

Mister-T 04.29.2008 04:09 PM

I will finish my E-hyper 7 probably running 4S or 5S2P. Not something really powerfull, but fun and driveable :)

e-mike 04.29.2008 04:17 PM

certainly in my e-maxx..with a 8l motor(waiting for the neu) on 4s and im would try the neuenergy 7,4 5000mah from monster store:mdr:some guy's here said that the maxamp are not enough for a good set-up...and for my experience i think is right..

suicideneil 04.29.2008 04:38 PM

Going into the Gmaxx, with a Medusa 36-60-1600kv most likely, though that may change depending on what I find/can get hold of- might have to cough up a little bit more money for a mega, but we'll see. Thinking about 6s2p A123, or 7s2p maybe, but A123s are hard to come buy, so I may opt for a different brand of li-ion cells that still offer fairly good performance (anything is a step up from cheapo Nimhs). Might even get some 3s swang lipos, or Zippys even for a bit of a gamble.

GorillaMaxx360 04.29.2008 04:51 PM

going in my maxx with spektrum, neu 1515 1y and 4s truerc 6400s

q8-maxx 04.29.2008 05:05 PM

I have ordered MM from mike and my e-maxx waiting neu 1515/1y/S to be in stock and will run with 16 cells:

http://up4.m5zn.com/photos/00028/I2KUZRD6D1GB.jpg

Is neu 1515-1y-S the best choice?

jfruge 04.29.2008 05:16 PM

I plan to use mine MMM in a Losi 8ight, RCPD conversion, NEU 1512/2.5d/F, TP EX 4S 5000 powered buggy.


Fun Fun,

azjc 04.29.2008 05:23 PM

My E Revo, 1515/2.5d w/FP 6s

captain harlock 04.29.2008 05:26 PM

Putting( well, if I buy it in the future) it in a SuperMaxx with 8s, 1950/10 and Mike's centerdiff if it becomes available soon.

lucias 04.29.2008 05:54 PM

I bought the controller for now.. Going to use with my 7xl in a 8ight-t until I can get my hands on one of their motor combos...

Dagger Thrasher 04.29.2008 06:03 PM

Mine's gonna be used in my speed record car project to start with, along with one of the Castle motors when they're released. But once that's done, I'll chuck it in a monster and use it properly!

SpEEdyBL 04.29.2008 06:21 PM

I'm going to wait until the motor combos become available and continue running 4s in my 8ight so I don't need to buy a new charger and powersupply. The power of the 1512 1y compared to my Novak HV4.5 motor may determine a few things however. Hopefully castle will eventually produce a 1512 1.5D.

jnev 04.29.2008 06:38 PM

When I buy it (within next couple weeks from Mike) it will go in my CRT.5 on 4s, and will probably try it out in my Revo on 5s or maybe even 6s in the future. :yes:

crazyjr 04.29.2008 06:40 PM

When i can, I'll get three, maybe 4. I plan to use one in my G2R with 1515/2.5d (1700) 4-6s LIPO, one in my Gmaxxwith a 12XL and 6s LIPO, I plan to put one to the ultimate test, In my Twinforce with a center diff (this was Promods New era chassied twinforce) with a 2250/10t and 4-6s LIPO. If i get a E-revo(traxxas one) I will get the motor combo and run it on 4-6s, and just beat on it till it screams. :lol:

Arct1k 04.29.2008 06:43 PM

HB LSP Pro - 1515 2.5DF 6S2p 4200 Lipo / 7-8s2p A123
GREVO - MM Combo when available...

DrKnow65 04.29.2008 06:53 PM

Holding out for the combo here, first it will go into a hyper7 6S then on to a revo conversion with a center diff when I can swing it.

loa 04.29.2008 07:53 PM

Going into a Revo here as well.

9XL and 4S for now, but I'm waiting for the "Castle-ized" Neu motors next fall, and 6 S if my budget allows! :-)

Loa

Edumakated 04.29.2008 08:24 PM

It will be in my RC8 matched with a Neu 1512 1.5d. I ordered a second one to go in a truggy that I am going to build later this summer.

Loa

same with me, it's going in my revo for now with a 4s, if it works great i'll be putting one in my x1 cr and getting a couple neu's and 5s batts.

better start saving now

dubkatz 04.29.2008 08:29 PM

I justed smoked my mm(literaly) in my emaxx. So i will be running it with a 9xl and 14 3300's 16 if i can figure out a way to mount the 2 extra batts. the sony li-ion cells that were in the review forum look like a very good cost effective alternative to lipo's. running them in a 6s2p config. would me a real monster in a maxx. My only prob. is my 977 wont charge anything higher than 3s. So i think ill just run my nimh into the ground. or untill i want something a little more.

gixxer 04.29.2008 09:35 PM

I am going to replace the mm that is in my 8t. I might sell the 8t and get the e-revo or a the new hyper buggy but it will go in the 8t now so I can atleast try it out.

_paralyzed_ 04.29.2008 09:47 PM

in a maxx kb45 8xl, 6s2p, geared for 60, what's a good wheely bar:lol:

bdebde 04.29.2008 10:10 PM

Just sent my MGM in to get the software update. If the MMM shows up before the MGM returns It will go in my Muggy on 6s with 1515 2.5D. Likely to get another and change my 4s buggy to 6s.

Man, I love the look of LST shocks. They can make any truck look like a beast.

Are you saying my truck wouldn't be a beast if it didn't have the LST shocks?

Well are ya?

:tongue:

rabosi 04.29.2008 11:51 PM

In e-maxx with 1515 1y. Currently have lipo combos for 4s but am looking to get some others so i can do 5s and 6s. Very difficult figuring which brands to get while also being economical.

tc3_racer_001 04.30.2008 12:46 AM

hyper 8.5 PRO... dunno what motor (need some help here!!) or what batteries (definately a123, or similar, due to high charge rates (only need one set for racing, rather than a 2 + lipo sets) and rebustness...

any suggestions, thinking 5s1p, but will that give me the speed and or current draw and runtime for a 6 minute race, or will i NEED a 2p setup... which id really like to avoid due to the expense and weight esp... 350g total of batteries would be a great improvement on 14 nimh cells (to get the same voltage) (900g+!)

i havent brought anything, on a low budget, prolly have 1500 total to play around with... got a Tx and Rx, as well as the rolling chassis.. the mount will be customed, so no need for that...

realisically, what should i get... would 6S1p with low gearing (just need it to keep up with the buggies on the straight, so between 35-40mph, with a 6minute runtime... is this EVEN REALISTIC?
or 5s or would it even be possible on 4s?
i dont have a charger yet, and i only got a 30A power supply, not buying anything bigger just yet (dont have the $$$)

im looking at the hyperion range, esp when i could charge and balance a 6s pack at a solid 10A for only 170 bucks. (which would give me approx 15 minute recharge, or less)

the only concern (reason id go with 6s) is the current draw. with only 2.3aH, and a 20C rating, that only allows for a 43A constant discharge rate... i dont see any way of this working well without a low amp draw system.

just looking for suggestions for voltage, charger, and motor (ill be getting the MM, is waiting for the combo an option, will there be any motors available with the right kv ratings?... 2000kv seems about right)

all while keeping within $1500.


sorry for the long post, but heres where u guys seem to know heaps, and its active...

the monster should take 7s A123, its the same full charge voltage as 6s lipo. If your going 1p I guess higher V is better, so go 7s1p and get a motor to suit. I was recommended against 1p in my revo though for anything under 9s, so I've changed my plans to 6s2p.
