Found a new home for my XL.
A little modding/relocating of the CC conversion mount, and a few new holes in the chassis.
A pair of left over links to stiffen the chasis, and all I need is for my 2650mah 40/50C 4S lipo's to show up...



Sooo much cleaner than the Hyper 7 conversion, and everything is right down on the chassis. Weight balance should turn out spot on, and I can shift the batts for rine tuning.

Not to sound like an ass or anything, but what is the point in putting that ESC in a 8th scale buggy? Is 6s not enough for you?

[DrKnow65]

8s, data logging, no heat concerns, and high efficiency.

I would use a smaller amp version of the XL if they made one.

An 8-12s, 120amp, MMP with data logging and a 10amp BEC would be worth the same $350 to me. There just isn't such an item... Yet

I love it! Castle needs that on a users photo page or something.

I like it!

VERY clean layout.

I have a feeling you're gonna have to tame that somewhat for it to be controllable.

Ummm.......is that a 1518?

[DrKnow65]

A 1518, and he'll yes I have to use some limiting to control it. But that's the general idea, over build and under use. It should run like a top without being stressed at all.

Thanks to the data logging from when it was in the Hyper7 I figure it will run a 20 minute main on 2x 2650mah 4s lipo's at 640gr for the pair.

I may size down the motor with another castle/neu at some point, something lower kv so I don't run close to the RPM limit.

[DwightSchrute]

that looks outstanding.

Overkill is where it's at.

[brainanator]

niiiiiice! :D would love to see one of these beasts in person....can't wait till data logging is the norm in smaller scales.

Shonen, anothe magician

Can you post up some more pics, data logs, or a thread you've got that has that type stuff in it?

Glad to see I'm not the only one seeing the benefits of using this ESC in something other than a baja.

Edit: Not that I'm uninterested in some of you baja lovers to post up pics and data as well!

Great!, I just ordered 3 Mamba XL for my 1/8th scale.. Can't wait for the HV version.. maybe 14 or 15S would be possible.. instead of 12S?..

[kingdomracer]

Yea, those 3 pics (drknow & shonen) on this page are just...
I'm lost for words and that's rare
I finally understand the concept of RCPORN!

Just picked up my project I hope to use the MXL in:



It's going to be a 1:4 scale outlaw funny car, probably weighing less than 20 lbs. 6S to start, and hope to settle at 8S, but I have a feeling I won't need to go that high. Chain drive with two gear sets to help get the wheel RPM up so that I can hit 69 - 65 mph in less than 2s. I will start on the CAD right after I'm done with a 1:10 funny car I'm working on right now. Total build time will probably be about 6 months or so.

Next to the 1:4 body is my current 1:10 funny car racer. The 1:4 will have a 31" wb compared to the 1:10, which has a 14" wb.
