To me this looks to be the equivilant of the Mamba Max, not the Monster max. It calls out 15 cel niMH wich at peak charge is right about 24v. I'm betting all of the components are 25v and they are specing it right to the limit. Similar to the way some (including me) are running the MM on 5s lipo. It doesnt leave much head room on the voltage for any spikes due to braking, but I bet it would work as well as a MM does. I like the built in fan hooked right into the esc, but I wonder what kind of BEC it is. I'm guessing its just a linear regulator that will generate alot of heat on 5s so you would probably end up running an external BEC as well. By the time you get done jacking around with it you would probably be better off just preordering the MMM for $145 before they are gone.

But... I do like the programing screen that comes with it. I wish CC would do that. I hate the computer programing. USB is great for at home, but I dont drag my computer to the the track so it really sucks for being able to make adjustments as I'm running it. The hand held unit like that woud be really nice.
