mr min i am not just posting my experience but that of about 10+ people who actually race 1/8 buggys. i still find it funny that the wimpy mamba max can handle pretty powerful motors on 4s with no problem but the original monsters didn't.
yes i know the monster will allow more current through but that still dosent cut it in my book. all i am saying is the zippy h and r 5000 packs are definitly good enough for racing a 1/8 scale buggy. the question is were the first gen monsters. i think from all the problems they had the answer is pretty obvious.
i myself run a mamba max with an extra 25v novak cap on 4s. when i was choosing a new esc 4 months back i was afraid to get a monster and opted for the tried and true mamba and i dont regret it a bit.
