MP777 SP2 Brushless

[jhautz]

First things first..... Ditch those white battery plugs! Get youself some proper deans plugs (or other high current connector).

Other than that it looks like it should do nicely for you. Nice job.

How is that century pinion holding up. I didn't have much luck with those lasting very long against a steel spur. They worked well on the plastic spurs though.

Referencing the mamba maxx:
It isn't rated for 4s, and I want to stay within manufacturer recommendations, additionally I am not going to wait for the MMM which was due out 2 years ago initially.

Referencing the connectors:
I will be changing to deans, I just haven't yet.

Referencing the buggy weight in Nitro form:
I don't know, I bought it as a roller but kyosho advertises it as 7.5lb, I do not know if that is with or without fuel.

Edit:
As for the century pinion: I don't know yet, I haven't had this thing running yet, between the cold/snowy weather, and the lack of good batteries, I have yet to turn it on.
Thanks for the input

as far as the mamba max goes... its rated for 4s with a suitable BEC... they dont say it in the manual but they imply it in the manual ( i believe it went like anything above 3s, a External Bec is required ) and in fact it works quite well with a nice little novak fan on top of it.

and 7.4 pounds without batterys? damn mine weighed that with batteries if i remember right... ( not sure, but definatly lower than 8 lbs.)

That diff could be adding some weight. And, your deffinetly going to need a chassis brace in the rear if you plan on jumping this this.

Why would the diff be adding weight? because of the metal spur? or is a spider heavier then a regular?
As for the rear chassis brace, I know, I am in the process of making one, the stock one won't fit with the motor being centered.

That weight sounds reasonable to me. My buggys are generally in th 8-8.5lb range fully loaded with lipos.

The century pinions are not hardened (not enough to work with a steel spur). Get a kyosho plastic spur, it should fit that diff just fine, 46t should be you best bet. Also you may want to upgrade the novak to a 5mm shaft rotor. I broke my hacker c50 maxx 1/8 motor shaft yesterday and others break their novak shafts too.

Otherwise the buggy looks good. I would find a way to tie the tops of the center diff bulks together, it will help the pinion/spur mesh stay more consistent.

Because it has more gears and the case is aluminum instead of plastic.
