Mamba Max Question

[MetalMan]

Someone was going to be trying the Mamba Max with a 7XL on 12 cells I believe, but I haven't heard about it yet. You might be able to do it. IMO, it should work.

IMO, I wouldn't run a 7XL on the Mamba. According to the Feigao chart, a 7XL will draw up to 95A, which is awful close to the Mamba's 100A rating. While it should work, I wouldn't be surprised if it heats up quite a bit. To allow a safety margin, I like to get an ESC that can handle ~20% more current than the motor will pull. This will help the FETs work less and allows for a little headroom if a motor actually pulls more current than advertised. An 8XL can draw up to 83A, which is right at 20%. This 20% margin is purely something I like to do and it has worked fine so far. I just thought I'd throw it out there...

Thats me and i still intend to try it, just want to get more familar with the system. The 5700 system i got is the most unbelievable setup i have ever seen for 1/10 cars and trucks. Comparing this to a Novak is like comparing Yokozuna to Spike Dudley
