Mamba Max and 8XL - not alot of Amps lol - 05.11.2008, 12:19 PM

Hi all,

I have a odd question. Hit the track today with the new B-Revo.

Running a Mamba Max ESC with a CCBEC, 8XL and 5S A123 batts. I chucked the DPRII in for a run, and noticed that I'm only getting around 48A max.

Not that I'm complaining, considering nothing was getting too hot, just nice and warm, and temps were quite cool.

I tried a run with the stock 38t spur, and again with the 40t spur, neither of which pushed the amp draw above 48A.
I'm running the standard clutch, which is 15t I believe.

If I change motors to a 7XL, I assume the amp draw will increase with the same gearing?

The reason I'm asking is that I pre-ordered a Monster Max, so I want to give it some hard work to do lol, otherwise I may as well just keep using the Mamba Max.

If I go up to 6S packs, would that also give me a substantial increase in amperes?

thanks guys :D
