Mamba Max Pro and Tekin T8 Motor

[sikeston34m]

Update!

I received my Tekin T8 4038 2000kv motor and installed it in my E Revo along with the MM Pro.

Yeah I know, it's a 1/10 esc, but I had to try this. The excellant Engineering of a well made Castle ESC and the Tekin 4 pole sensored motor.

4S Lipo is feeding the power, plus I'm only shooting for about 40mph. We're not shooting for the moon in terms of speed, so amp draw should be manageable.

A 52 Mod 1 spur was installed along with a 22 tooth pinion on the motor. This proved to be too much. The ESC was getting uncomfortably hot and so was the motor. However, it did run like a raped ape.

So I backed off on the gearing somewhat. I believe 19/52 to be the sweet spot as far as gearing goes.

Temps are well in hand, but it's making good solid power. It also has ZERO cogging on startup. Smart Sense is at work.

Low Speed control is so good in fact, shifting into "crawler mode" is just a matter of taming the trigger finger.

I love it!

This is the smoothest setup I've ever owned.

Way to go Castle!
