the old standard...

Mamba Max w/ubec
Neu 1512 1.5y (1900kv)
Maxamps 4s 8000mah (pair of 2s packs)
15/44

I did manage to get the MM hot this time. It's a bit heavier setup and I had no cooling hole in the body, no fans, no extra caps... and I was pushing it pretty hard. I got about 10 minutes in and it cut out a couple times for like 5 seconds.

I pulled it off so I didn't have to have the marshalls keep grabbing the car. I was up to 4th place at the time...

It only temped at 185-190 on the heatsink... it's been much hotter before without thermalling so I'm still not convinced that's what was going on. But that's the most likely thing. I think the motor was in the 160s. Normally the esc also runs about that.

One another note.. a friend ran my 8ight and had a blast. No issues... had a 1509 (1820kv) and MM with caps and a kokam 4s 4800. Another buddy was running his 8ight with MM and 1509 (2300kv?) on 4s and 12/46 and his temps were very good, but he was somehow using more battery than my 8ight. (@400mah more in a 6 min run)

If I had caps or better cooling for my MM.... I likely would have finished 3rd.
