Mamba Max motor possible mis-labeled?

Yup, tried the calibration a couple times. I'm using the stock traxxas radio, so I don't think it has EPA...

Not to mention that the KV is very high even when using a 7.2V pack. You are almost near 60000rpm, which is not good for the motor's effeciency and that is the reason behind the high temp of the motor.

I'm not having any heat problems with the motor. It was barely warm to the touch after 15 minutes running...

I was actually thinking of doing that today... I'll probably do it tomorow...



For whoever asked... The tires barely baloon on 7.2v...


I think I'm just going to go buy a damn 460 and spend a couple hundred $$$ on some decent lipos.. :(

This get's more weird... barely warm after 15mins???? Hmmm something doesn't add up?

I see you are canadian. Maybe its set for km/h not mph, eh? :005:

We've already surpassed their total intelligence :005:

Just kidding guys :027:

I finally got around to doing some programming on the ESC... Seems to have made a world of differance in performance (still using my 3S lipo)... Seems better. Tires now baloon like crazy!

I havn't had a chance to get it on dry pavement yet, but in the snow with paddle tires she goes pretty good....


Either way, I bought a 5700 motor today anyways to play with..... (LHS didn't have 4600s...)
