Mamba Max on 5s

I havnt done it yet, but from what I have heard disable the LVC and the MM will arm, than you have 2 options either run with an external LVC or risk it...I have thought of doing this with my Rustler...I am still working on my FLM upgrades with the Rustler, and my BL Revo is still going strong so no rush

I have two MM's - one will run on 5S and the other will not (only up to 4S). The MM LVC will auto-detect up to 4S, for more than 4S you just have to set the LVC to a custom value (ie: 16 volts @ 3.2v/cell or 16.5 @ 3.3v/cell).

I have a Novak 25mm mounted on top of the heatsink (small screws will nicely just thread themselves into the heatsink) and I use the CCBEC. No cap mods in place. No problems with temps at all ever going above 120-130* even when pushing 1000-1200 watts through the ESC.

I say no harm in trying it - it'll either arm and work or it won't. Just take it easy for the first few runs pushing it a little more each time and keep an eye on temps.
