Nope, seems like the robbe website is currently off-line.

I've seen them in person, they come in a somewhat softer shade of green than the mamba motors

Thanks for the insight guys, it's been helpful. It depends on what I can afford at the time really as to what motor I get; I've been also thinking about a 6S LiPo 8/9XL setup, but that'd of course require a beefier ESC than the MM. So many options! Assuming the MM gets the software update, do you think a Neu 1509 would be up to the job?
I've never had a Neu, so I don't really know what the 1509 would be capable of. Obviously a 1512 or 1515 would be better, but I can't really bring myself to spend over $200 on a motor. Bear in mind that this truck would be a basher, so I'd like a top speed of 45 to 50...I know that's asking a bit much from 4S.

Well, I think I've decided on a setup; a 7 or 8XL Wanderer, with a 4S MaxAmps 6000mAh lipo battery and an MM. As for mounting the battery...well I've stripped most of the truck down and this chassis plate has got to be THE most difficult plate to mount a brushless system on! No matter what I thought of (mounting the batt on the rear, front, reversing the centre gearbox, having the motor in the front, etc) nothing would quite fit!:035: I do have an idea though...and that's to simply make a battery plate (perhaps 3mm ali) that extends off the side of the chassis. It should be strong enough, and will look ok once I've stripped the anodizing off the chassis. I'll relocate the brake servo to the front, and have the motor mounted on the other side of the chassis to maintain balance.

Anyway I'll shutup now, as I'm sure this isn't very interesting to ya...but I'll post updates when I get started in a few months. Gotta amass some funds.:027:
