Mamba Max Tweaks and Mods Continued

Lincpimp, there will be two fans, a pusher and a puller fan. The board will be standing up vertical with a sink on the left and a sink on the right. The brain board will be on longer wires to make space for the heat sink. So the air will be flowing thru both heat sinks equally. kind of like a tunnel with fans at both ends and the power board standing up in the middle.

You can get a better idea of what I am saying if you look at the wiring setup in my previous post.

I do plan on stepping up the voltage and motor, just in small increments.

Update, just ordered all my bit, pieces, and wires. So excited, to bad next day air is out of the budget :)

I also have been chatting with PatrickDelC on a different forum and he is willing to sell me an additional power board, just waiting to get a PM from him to see what he wants for it.

Anyone around here have an extra power board (the newer style) they want to sell? I wasn't planning on doing the dual board thing but the idea is itching at me, so if I can find one cheap...

How has the success been for the guys running 5s and 6s on the modded MM's?

Artur, I decided to go with aluminum heat sinks as copper is heavier than I thought. I will use the brass on the brain board and it's components.

So far only one person that I know of has had the Mod2 treatment (double decker) done to their MM, and it was running fine until they got a stone caught in their gears which caused the motor to stall = instant death to the esc....

I shipped double-decker to Mike only and looks like he is pretty happy with it, no smoke yet :)

I am in process of fixing the one which "caught stone".

Hi GriffinRU. What are your thoughts about the new MM having 30 fets vs the old with 36.

So far looks like better fet and there are improvements in layout as well.
I'm in process of creating double decker from new (3d, 4th?) generation.
We will see how it works.

Hehe, the esc got 'stoned' and blew smoke out... sorry, that was a lame gag.

Heatgun works great, just heat it up to 80-100C and carefully remove it with razor blade or similar tool...

In case you are going to use screwdriver method -> do not press too hard on PCB and watch for copper traces an so...
