On a cool race evening (60F and below) I ran the Mamba Max without a fan and it was fine. Since I am using a 1/10 scale ESC on a 8 pound buggy, I thought it would be a good idea to use a fan. I am...

I would go for the 4000mAH pack. You will be pushing the 4AH pack less than the 3AH pack. Plus you will want the longer run time of the 4AH pack.

A lot of people use the 9L, but you may even...

I wonder how well she will run on 3S. I understand "running what you brung" since a high performance 4S Li-Po pack is expensive. You may be a little disappointed with the 3S, but it may get you by...

Mamba Max fan mounting

I am not having much luck keeping a fan on my Mamba Max ESC. I bought two 25mm Sunon fans (3.5 CFM airflow). They are nice and small, but still move a decent amount of air. The problem is the three...

I was in the same spot. If the Quark was a plug and play setup, I might have spent the extra cash on it but it seems like you still have to add a fan to the Quark if you want to get more than 5 or...

I purchased the hooded RC-Monster sweatshirt a few weeks ago. It is very nice quality and comes in handy at the track for the cool evening races. It is too bad Mike can't stock the stuff himself so...

That is the cogging I see.

The first time at the track I only saw very basic cogging from a dead start. This was during a 10 minute B-main and then during a 15 minute A-main. This is with the...

Too bad to hear about the Mamba Max. RIP.

That is good to know. Since I switched to the Mamba Max, I don't need a LVC any more (I run 4S).

I am curious what Mamba Max settings you are running with the Neu 1515?

The place I race at also has 15 minute 1/8 buggy mains. I was able to go the distance with my Enerland / Poly RC 5000mAH 4S Li-Po. That is on a Neu 1512 2.5D and a Mamba Max ESC. When I charged up...

I bought two (one for backup) for my Mamba Max. They just arrived today. I bought the Sunon GM0502PFV1-8.GN (Digikey # 259-1325-ND). For a 25mm fan, it moves a lot of air (3.5CFM). It is 5V so I...

Nice work with the Rusty Truggy.
The Rustler is one of the toughest 1/10 RC trucks out there so it should make a great truggy platform.

Nice videos. I like the editorial from the camera lady…. “you messed up and there is a flower sticking out of your truck”.
You have to love that E-power for quick acceleration.
