The Mamba ESC won't handle the amount of cells I'm wanting to run.

Here's some more pics of it.









The only thing I still need to do is make new battery straps. I thought about just using a couple velcro Gorillamaxx straps that I've got lying around, but I want it to look as close to stock as possible.

If you can't tell in those pics, I cut the very end off the stock chassis. Then I cut the new stock chassis farther in so it still had slots to hold 2 cells. I used a 2 part epoxy plastic welding system to bond them back together and I made a plastic support plate to go directly underneath the chassis seam. Then I cut and bonded the support brackets. I made sure to stagar my cuts to regain as much strenght as possible. Also the RPM skid plate reaches the front piece of the support bracket and has 2 bolts that go all the way to the transmission to help hold everything together. I would put money on it that this setup is stronger then stock. I put it throught is paces today (well, for stock motors atleast) and had zero trouble.
