That is with the 1515/1Y in a typical setup. I stated if using a lower kv motor and light gearing you could get away with NiMH. ;)

Thanks Joe, I wasnt sure what your baseline was for "lower". Got it now. So all of this setup info is based on a 2200kv 1515/1Y on 6s? I would imagine running that same motor on 4s would not require the same battery capability either provided gearing didnt change.


Just to be clear can you confirm this for me...

Then with a 1512/3D (1700kv) shorter lower kv motor in a light 1/8 buggy and conservative gearing (35-40mph) I could run a lipo that isnt quite up to the 75A/125A specs and get away with it without damage to the Monster.

Sorry to be a pain, I just read all the bolony that has been posted the last couple days in this and "other" forums regarding the Monster and lipos that may not be up to the task causing the reported dead MMMs and I want to be clear is all. And hearing it directly from someone at CC is better than all the hearsay floating around at this point.

Joe,
i run a 8T with a neu 1515 1y on my mamba max an external bec, ive been running on my 3s2p 8000 maxxamps pack, gearing around 32-38mph max( ive been haveing no overheating an no problems an can max 20 min mains....
(can i gear up, up on 3s to 45 mph max..ON THE MMM)

can i keep running my 3s8000 pack(if geared under 45mph), or do i need to run my 4s6000, or 5s2p 8000 maxxamps pack???

BTW i always run low settings (never under 30% acclimit usuly 70%, an never run more then 5-low motor timming)my LVC is set at 9.2v for 3s on my mamba max should i change any setting for the MMM?

Whats best for 38-45mph racing (an last 20in mains)?
on the 1515 1y/f in a 1/8th scale truggy(trying to keep the weight down)
3s 8000?
4s 6000?
5s 6000?
(a 5s8000 pack is too heavy)
looking to buy another pack(have 3 allready)
