Is that the mamba thermalling? I was driving the e-revo, my cousin(also 19) was driving my rustler. We crashed and snapped the rustler front bulkhead, whoops. pictures if you guys want em. Also, on 4s it was just a tad slower than the rustler which the rc calc said was going 53!
Were you running an external BEC or receiver pack? If you weren't, the 4s overheated the internal BEC (it has its own thermal protection), and then turns back on when it cools off (which turns the ESC back on, causing the tones you hear).
