Mamba Pro - for all you tech-heads

[V0RT3X]

I guess all sensored escs are the same "smoothness" (did I spell that right?) :p

I'm probably just overthinking it

Plus i think from the racing side pc programming is a plus, and it is sensored so it should be smooth enough.


What was it someone said about a feature were it raises the kv of the motor?

Not necessarily true. Firmware and processing speed will still have an effect on the outcome.

The thing about sensors is that they are only useful at 0-low rpm's, once higher emf feedback works better. Castle takes so much type tweaking their firmware I would believe that they will be far superior with the sensored MM Pro as well. Not too mention that it is programmable to a degree not seen on any novak ESC's.

Is the MM pro going to be running cooler than the original MM say in the same setup?

most likely. newer components are usually more efficient...

I agree, but the temps i see on the mamba max after a 5 minute race are extremely hot. I don't know what it is but it just does not like my 5.5. The motor never gets above 150 in 5 minutes, and I have the timing just below average and the start power on high, but it will easily reach 180 or 190 in a race without a fan.

Hopefully the mamba pro is A LOT better with the heat, I plan on buying one, just waiting to see what the initial response is towards them.

My mamba max (was using yeah racing 60A brushless esc) dropped the temp on my yeahracing 5.5 T 6000kv motor from over 60C to 48C with higher power output (higher speed and acceleration), better response (nothing to do with settings. Max setting/reducing timing on the YR esc doesn't even compare to the MM) and the thing that amazed me is how smooth the throttle is!!! My buggy can crawl at like 2 mph with no cogging using the slotted motor. I wonder how much smoother can a sensored system get. The down side is that it seems to be running a little hot even on 2S lipo. It is supposed to be rated at 100A continuous right? I don't see how the MM can do 100A cont without any advance cooling.

I assuming your measuring current draw somehow to make that claim? I'd be interested in hearing more about what lead you to that conclusion. I've unloaded a 4600mah pack through an MM in under 4 minutes, which is an average current of at least 69A. It got a pretty warm, not too hot though. I had nothing to measure temp with, but it was 35C ambient so I always thought on a cooler day that 100A wouldn't be out of the question....

Do we have any new updates on release date?
