DANG i bet thats what it is! i thought i needed to trim those some because i knew theyd be close but they could be touching.

-i did disable the mm bec
-gearing is 13/54 its only geared for like 33-35 mph (low compared to everyone else)
-smooth concrete parking lot for testing
-no fans, a rcmonster heatsink on the motor thats all
- the mamba max is setup right according to the book (high start power and all for the 4wd and heavy truck)
-truck is just barely under 5 pounds

ill check and cut my motor screws off 1st and then see how it goes from there.
