Mamba Max in a Savage? - 09.29.2006, 07:05 AM

Hi guys, I'm looking to purchase a new speed controller for my BL Savage to replace my 9920 (not smooth, non existant tech support, only wrapped in heatshrink, etc), as some of you are already aware :) I'm thinking of the Quark 125, but it sounds like it thermals easy, other than that a good esc.

Then someone mentioned to me his testing one in a Twin Force, and it might work in my Savage as well (weighs 5.6KG or 12.5lb RTR with 12 cells). Which got me thinking, a couple of people have used them in 1/8 buggies..which are lighter than trucks, but have heavy drivetrains, so why not? I'd like to get some other peoples opinion on this, if you think it'll work or just thermal after 5 mins hard running. Espically from any of the guys using them in 1/8's or that sort of thing.

The rest of my setup will be, 540C 8XL motor, 14 cells GP3700 (mostly 14), and of course an external UBEC. Geared for around 40mph on 14 cells. My 9920 works fine but does get hot, its not thermalled yet though. Without fans. I have been given the green light by Mr Palmer= for the extra voltage btw upto 16 cells.

Cheers.
