Post your Mamba Max Pro Setup here! - 10.29.2009, 09:11 PM

Let's have a thread about RCM Member's MM Pro setups.

Please list vehicle, Motor, gearing, Operating Voltage and any other important information about the setup.

Then please tell us about your experience.

I'll go first.

I've been experimenting with a Mild E maxx setup on 6S.

Lipos are a pair of 6S 26C 2600mah Kong Power ran parallel for 5200mah total.
Motor is a HC 1600kv 8 pole Helicopter Outrunner motor. Has it's own fan.
Gearing is 14/52 Mod 1 (31mph on Brian's Top Speed Estimater)

Very torquey setup! Good Fun Factor.

Everything ran cool! I only seen the fan on the MM Pro come on one time!

This ESC is VERY smooth. Low Speed handling is very good. No Cogging at all.

I then decided to go 18/52 gearing. (40mph on the BG Calculator)

Much Better Top Speed, but this is when my luck began to run out.

The ESC fan began to cycle, and the motor temps began to climb into the uncomfortable zone.

Then one of the twin high torque servos began sticking and clicking, but the run continued. Then after a few flips, I heard the rear bulkhead snap. It only snapped on one side, but it's almost done for.

The twin servos were still sticking, so I decided to check that out. Turning the front tires, back and forth from stop to stop. I noticed the lights would do dim on the ESC and the truck would not move forward or backward.

I found one of the servos had stuck and stalled. It's pretty obvious the BEC was being over amped. It didn't hurt anything in the ESC. I wonder if there's some sort of over amp protection on the bec?. When this happened, the ESC just would not respond. No Damage.

I intend to change this setup around, then try different motors, and voltages.

I'll post back more results to this thread. Stay tuned.
