Hi Cdis,

I don't have any experience with the Kyosho Inferno, but I will help as much as my insight will allow.

First thing to consider, What kind of track are you running? A bunch of tight turns or long straighaways?

What top speed are you looking for? I'm sure the 70mm motors will be real powerhouses. I plan on getting a 70mm AND a 80mm myself. But in the meantime, I've been bashing around with a 36-60-1500kv version. I'm very pleased with it. I've been playing around with 22/40 Mod 1 gearing in an E Revo. It works well on 4S 20 5000mah Lipo. This yields about 23 minutes of runtime. I know this setup would be competive on the track. On 6S, it runs too hot for continous use.

I just switched the gearing to 18/40. We'll see how that does and what the temps are like. This may be the good 6S setup I've been looking for, or perhaps 5S.

If you want more runtime, pack some Lipo in there. You'll also lose some weight by doing so.

On the Monster Mamba that you have, please go to the Castle Website and update your firmware. Castle has came out with the a new version to make them live. The problems the Monsters were having has been linked to the old firmware version.

I hope this helps.
