So I Have a Muggy Now!

That sounds hot for a 1515, but I suppose on 6s in the grass it sounds right. In that video I was running a 16T pinion, 6s certainly has potential for some serious power. Your Muggy is coming along quite nicely, any plans to go with RPM arms though? I snapped stockers all the time until I finally dished out the money for RPM arms. Just beware that you will need Lunsford turnbuckles for them, the stock ones bend and shear very easily.

Looks good. Why do you have the ESC mounted there and not behind the battery?

i was always told to stay under 180 with the neu motors. but it wasnt nearly as hard on it as it was the speed control, which went in flames today so ill get the mamba replaced, and wait for a medusa 80m 2000 to roll around or my ideal motor the 1521 1y. ill post pics later, the reason the esc is so high is that my top plate for my jammin crt mount i have in there from my truggy, it has a esc mount on the back so i figured better up high than right in everything i kick up, so im on hold now, bur it was running great, just uder too much pressure so a bigger motor is the way to go. ill post pics later it was a little fire ball untill i disconected the battey and blew out the flames. the truck died, i took the body off slid the switch to off then back on and it suddenly caught fire so there must have been a short somewhere thank god my new battery didnt go up as well.

nice truck!! I really like that muggy.
you should try to move the battery tray a bit forward, to get the mamba directly onto the chassis. Placed on the center diff, the center of gravity is too hight. try that out, hadling will increase a lot. you can take some lexan to make a shield to protect the esc from dirt, water etc.

i really like it where it is i have room to mount it behind the battery but chose not to. it handles pretty good for as big as it is. it flies good and im pretty happy overall. i guess its just personal preference.

Here are some updates, i got my new roll cage installed, the medusa 36-80-2000kv, heatsink with fan mount and fan, i wrapped the front tires to stop ballooning (works great) so all im waiting for is my replacement mamba monster to come in and im ready to go. wow is it pretty
