Mate i would do the math on the V3. It is only rated for 120A, and considering your motor will pull 200+ amps on 6s i would hate to see you sending two speedies off for repair in the same week. Yeah hopefully you will get your speedy back from MGM soon. Not to rain on your parade but when i ordered mine from them it took 3 weeks to get to me. so your probably looking at about 8 week turn around

Lol, hmmm... one guy on here a earlier this year ran one of these on an MMM V1 on 6s and said it pulled up ok But i really do not want to be sending another one back Im expressing to and from MGM, so hopefully it won't take the 8 weeks

P.S what is the best way to solder the motor wires directly to the ESC, just hold them together, get them hot, and make a big ball of solder around them?

Let him try it. Patrick said the Mamba Monster can handle any motor you throw at it. If it does fail, it still under warranty. He's getting new gears and this will tell the truth of the ESC's capabilities. I'm hoping it works so I can put my Mamba Monster in my BPP to try it out.

hey Lutach, how do you think the new gearing will go, the 48/10 is geared for 43mph and the 46/12 is geared for 53mph. Do you think that will still overload the ESC? Should i start with the 48/10 or 46/12? Oh, and thanks for letting ME be the guinea pig

You have Buggy diffs? I would change them to the Truggy diff first. Hot bodies' are 4.3:1 and Mugen's are 4.6:1. My truggy is geared for 34mph, but it was clocked at 46mph which is the exact MPH with 1" of tire ballooning. If you go with the truggy diffs, you can use the 46/10-12 or the 48/10-12 as well. Now the only way to be sure the ESC won't get over loaded with your monster motor is to try it out.

You can have the honor of testing the Mamba Monster to see if it truly handles anything you throw at it .

I wonder if cc factored this into "anything".


Get me back into RC!
