mamba 25 on 4s?

[BL_RV0]

will it work?

[nitrorube]

i dont think so,i had a mini t with a mamba 25 and with a 3cell it would get hot,just my opinion but im going to guess no

[BL_RV0]

not going to use that motor, just the esc.

[johnrobholmes]

Sure it will work, until you get a motor that is too hot. What motor, what setup?

[BL_RV0]

hacker 3700kv motor. gearing undecided. want about 30-35mph, be going in a kyosho half eight.

[rschoi_75]

what mini?

[BL_RV0]

kyosho mini inferno, its 1/16 4wd buggy

[rschoi_75]

oh... I can't believe I didn't see it the first time.

anyways, even 30-35 is no problem with the 3700kv. you can do that on 3s with mild gearing. On 4s, you're going to be in the 40 mph range with normal gearing.

I run the same motor on 2s & 3s in a M18T. I'm geared at 14/54 right now, and I'm guessing low 20's on 2s and low 30's on 3s. These are perfect numbers for mini racing... unless you're on a 1/10th scale track.

[johnrobholmes]

I would keep with 3s honestly. In anything but a tiny 1/18th you will be pushing it really hard on 4s. If you want 4s you should step up to a larger ESC, the m25 just gets hot on that high of a voltage.

4s may be too much for the internal bec, so 3s may be a better choice. Unless you want to run a ccbec, but that seems overkill in a 1/16 buggy. Unless you have the batteries laying around. That hacker motor is nice, I had one in a minit for a while and ran on 3s!

[BL_RV0]

well any esc suggestions then? quark 65 perhaps?

[BL_RV0]

decided on the quark 33a.

Good choice, it is an excellent esc. I have run way more than 33 amps thru mine and it did not skip a beat!

[MTBikerTim]

My quark stutters on 2s in a mini t. I can't figure it out. I thought it was just a bad quality battery. I now have a better lipo in it and it still stutters.

Do you have dirty or loose motor to esc connectors? Try hard wiring and see if that helps. Or maybe your deans connector is dirty?
