MTBikerTim · **Mamba Max Capacitor protector? -** 09.29.2008, 02:58 AM

I received my first Mamba max today which is going in a stampede. I have played with a lot of MMs but have never owned one myself. From experience I know that it isn't that hard to damage the capacitors in a crash and I know this thing is going to be crashed.

So I was thinking about making something to guard the caps. I have come up with this

I drew that up in probably less then 2 minutes so don't complain that my MM only has one fin and no wires

.

I am going to make it out of some 3 or 4mm lexan that I have left over from my battery case. I think it should be plenty strong enough for the job.

I am open to other ideas though. Can any one think of anything that will be simpler or work better? Has anyone made some thing to protect the MM caps before?
