Satayo,
What's up guy??? Funny seeing you here.

Hey rig looks good.

I have 5S Lipo and 10XL Feigao motor sitting here with your name on it...and maybe even a MMM...

Are you heading to MJ9 in August????

Take care man...and I am still waiting for you to show up at one of the Rock Crawling Comps...

Take care,
John

Hey Satayo I suggest go brushless with your setup im running a Mamba max with a medusa 36-50-3300 and couldnt be happyier tons of power im running it off of 14 cells.
I wouldnt go to much power in the e-savage or your asking for drivetrain issues. With the setup im running I have a problem keeping the stub axels from breaking I have even upgraded them to tmaxx ones (just need to do a brearing swap).
you could be all setup for less than $250 and have longer running times vs upgrading your brushed motors

I just noticed your shock towers what are those can you post some close up picks? Is that a hellfire wing mount brakets on there?

[SATAYO]

Droopy,

I was told the MM was not intended for 1/10 4WD applications... I agree, I don't want too much power, I want to race this... but under control and smooth.

I updated my first post, but yes, that is a Hellfire wing and wing mount. The shock towers are MT2 CF units, doubled up.

MM motors are no good for 1/10MT use, but the esc is a little beauty on 4s lipo- just use an external BEC/ Rx pack to power the servos, and maybe a small fan.

I have been running my MM on 14 cells in my e-savy for over a year now without a single issue. as suicideneil said its the MM motors that shouldnt be used on 1/10 Monster trucks the shafts will just snap.

Droopy, you must have a good setup. But a high KV motor like MM (lowest 4600) will really run hot. Most setup for Monster Truck are low KV and High Voltage specially for a 13-15lbs truck. IMO

here is my setup
MM esc
cc bec
14 cells ep 4200 or maxamps 4700's
Medusa 36-50-3300
18t pinion
roadboy chassis
proline bowties on max offset rims
shortened revo drive shafts
Dog bone center driveshafts
spektrum dx 3.0
Here is my temps on last run esc 97 deg, motor 94 deg , batts 109 deg
I just run the MM esc not there motor there motors just wont hold up in a heavy truck
I was thinking about useing the medusa 36-60-2000 in the esavy but after seeing how much power it has in my x1-crt it is to much motor for the savy drivetrain the 50mm long works great in there.

Droopy,

Can you send me some pics of you shortened Revo shaft setup...?

I would great appreciate it...

Droppy, Niel is pertaining to CC Motor that comes with the MM....It was a misunderstanding I guess.... If you read carefully he said "MM Motors" not "MM ESC"...so bith are correct

[killjoyken]

Hey droopy, is your MM a new one or old one. I managed to pop the caps on one of my MMs trying to run on 14 cells. It was the only MM (out of 5) that I managed to kill. It would run all day on 12 cell or 4s lipo, but on 14 cells it stuttered for a bit then went "poof".

14 cells or 5s lipo is hit or miss with the MM.

I dont realy recomend a revo shafty setup due to the fact that the revo shaft diameter you have to grind the ears that your shocks mount to so you have to relocate your mount points to the ouside of the arms, You also have to use your stock ends from the e-savy and put them on to the revo shafts there is some slop there so I made small plasic shimms the next problem is the pins on the revo shfts are longes so I found you have to cut them then hammer it a little to flair the ends to keep them in place.
I have not broken a revo shaft but the stub axels or the input side are prone to snapping.I have even switched to tmaxx stubs wich only reqire a bearing switch (2.5 model)
I recomend to completely switch to the 2.5 tmaxx or e-maxx shafts but you will still need to use your stock end that hooks to the diffs since tmaxx are 6mm and e-savy are 5mm.

14 cells or 5s lipo is hit or miss with the MM.

Im not to shure my MM is about 1 year old now and im not to shure when castle swiched some of there components , what is the easyest way to tell?

Thanks for the heads-up Droopy... I planned on switching to Maxx shafts and stubs already... so I am on the right track.
