Mamba esc w4s & bec overheating..help?

[DwightSchrute]

Well, i gotta hand it to you guys...when you're right... you're right...

I just came in from some testing, and temps never got above 117 degrees....and it's almost 75 outside right now....i lowered the timing and changed the gearing and gave it some punch control.

That was geared 76/30=2.53...i think i could go even a few teeth higher and it be fine....i might mess with the throttle curve too although i kinda like where it's at right now.

Crazy how sensitive this esc is compared to the vxl....with the vxl i could run 19 - 40t on the pinion and 7-10t difference on the spur and there be maybe 30 degree difference in temps.


With the mamba, 10 teeth on the pinion, 10 on the spur, and timing on high means thermal....just sucks that i had to go through 2 esc's before i got my head outta ...wait...huh? LOL ......and just asked for some help. CASTLE RULES!!!!

Again, thanks guys.
