Modded Mamba Max Testing!!

[mustbnitro]

i tried to flash some shots, but it didn't work to well, when I get up close it gets all fuzz and i can only take far back shots, which dosen't show you anything.

Now what happend was I got it all set up, plugged everything in and it worked fine, turned off, pulled full throttle to set, turned on, and poof, poof, the two FETS closest to the neg batt cable popped, I then plugged in the motor and tried it and the two FETS closest to the 330 caps in the opposite the wiring leads went POP.

my guess is that this is due to pure haste doing the job, my good iron was on the fritz and so I had to use my Hobbico Iron, which cost about $5 about 8 years ago so you can see the quality. Next I had to really heat up the board to remove the stock caps due to the bad iron and my desodering iron has the huge fixture on it with the bulb so I could not get it in there because it is next to the black bank. So a lot of heat was put on the board and it was hard to get the caps free and get a good soder, which I thought would pass, but I guess not. i am not guessing it is due to a bad connection, just hastey craftsmanship due to me trying to get this due as well as my nitro truck rebuilt before a big race coming up. i also do build cicuits at work, but was not epecting anything this small. I bought all the parts then the Mamba so i kinda put the cart before the horse and didn't look what i was getting into first. I am just scrapping this and buying a new one, I originally got this for a pretty good deal, but now I have to pay full price. I am not going to crack open this new Mamba and just add the auxilary cap on the battery leads and the zener diode under the battery leads. i also have two Novak fans I am going to add, if they don't cool it down at least they will look cool. I'm just going to write it off as a lesson learned and maybe if this mamba I'm trying next heats up to bad, griffinru will have some $$ in his paypal account.

GriffinRu - how difficult would it be to mod the MM further to accept 6s? Depending on the price, I might be interested in something like that. I want to run 6s in my new Emaxx with a Neu motor. I was thinking about the MGM but I noticed people are smoking them. Think it would be able to handle it?

I am going to test 6S version this coming week-end. Once it would be done their would be limit on minimum 3S LiPo and custom cutoff, I am no sure yet, need to be tested.

DrKnow65: this link is for you, unless I am missing something.

- Waiting for MMM with Neu-like motors combo as well.

- What for you need warranty if it works :)

Sounds good artur, keep us posted! I am still running the modded mm you sent me in my revo, it works well and stays very cool. Startup and overall feel is much improved over the stock mm.

I can't wait for the MMM I have no patience. But whenever it comes out Ill be sure to grab one.

GriffinRU - I noticed your from MD. What part? I'm in Mount Airy. I work at Northrop Grumman in Sykesville. You sound like you know your stuff. I try to get me EE buddies to get into the RC's but they never seem interested.
