Mamba competition pack and Mini Quake

[jnev]

I think a 5700 will make the mini quake way over powered. However, a 4600 combo may do the trick.

540 BL motors will kill the drivetrain. Even with ball diffs the plastic driveshaft pinions and main diff gear are not able to handle that kind of power. Heck guys using 28mm BL motors have a hard time keeping it together with the gear diffs. It can be done with a mini servo and the 540 motor mount, but runtimes would be pretty short and balance would be upset. So far the longest mAh lipo I found, and own, is the max amps 2200 2S2P, but you need to modify the battery post and hold down to use it.

Now, if somebody like Mike made some Delrin or metal gears.....

Anyone ever tried the larger MM 5700 motors in one of these things? I've considered buying one of these trucks for a while but the only one i ever ran was seriously under powered. Well compared to my MM5700 Rusty :)

Mamba motors are not 380 sized motors they are 20mm/280/300.

380/28mm motors are what you want:
Great Planes Ammo-28-XX series
Permax-400 series
Neu
Mega-15 series
Golden Horizon-3600 or 4700
Ebay-Cool Red 3500 and there is a 5100kv ebay motor that has received a decent review.

Can't really go wrong with either one. I would love to get a neu, but just can't get myself to spend twice the price of the ammo or permax motors. Heck the ebay $20-$30 motors tempt me.
