Looks good. You plan to upgrade to the MMM V2 or no?

Well I just got the BL system in a few weeks ago, and so far I love the Mamba max and 8XL combo, its also great with 4s lipo. But yeah if my mamba max ever quits on me, I will try the MMM v2.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, I have some spare velcro left, it's much better than double sided tape because double sided tape is REALLY hard to pry off, then when you do get it off it leaves a mess behind, so yeah I will try velcro.

Well I use the good ol' finger touch test, I can hold my finger on the motor and mamba max just fine for about 1 minute before it starts burning my finger, but I do need to buy a temp guage to really monitor my temps, and yeah a fan wouldnt be a bad idea, maybe the VXL ESC fan?

Also, I know my BEC is free hanging and I don't like it, I was thinking about using double sided tape to secure it down, any other suggestions?

Velcro is best for small and lightweight electronics in my opinion. Easy to take off and put on while still being secure.

What are your standard temps on the MM right now? Looks as if you should run atleast a fan over your MM or run a cap board to bring down the temps somewhat. Afterall the less heat the more efficient the setup is which means usable energy isnt being wasted in the form of heat.

The 30mm black fan from novak fit perfectly onto all my MM's. Screws right into the heatsink.

The light kit is hidden in the truck, I have it very well mounted, you can only see it when its on and in dark videos hehe, you still interested in me making you one? If I have spare time on my hands I probably could, and yeah I will think about your aluminum shocks offer. Post some pics maybe?
