Hi, yeh the diffs are good front and rear, im running this 3s on 17 pinion, as you can see in the video its just about right. Im going to get a 4s and probably leave the gearing as is, or maybe drop 1-2 teeth see how that goes. I'll be running this off road more than on road though.

Done, that's the next tool I'm buying. I have so many parts I need to custom make.

Been running on 3s and its strong on the grass, very torquey, the motor stays very cool, 110f.



Ordered a 4s, im going to keep the gearing the same and maybe tone the acceleration down a bit on the mamba. Video when I get the 4s

Very nice looking. I really like the new layout with the motor moved towards the back and the esc up front.

Nice work, keep it up.

Got the 4s lipo, only weighs 80 grams more than the 3s. I was very excited to run it, however ended up a little disapointed. Im running on grass now and have lots of grip, I kept the gearing the same but the power is SO much I couldnt stop it from wheelying, over the full length of the field I couldnt get to full throttle, the front kept poping up and when I pushed this ended up in a massive cartwheel (20 rolls easy). The truck survived all the crashes intact! which I was surprised at, the motor still cool, but I couldnt push really. The center diff got up to 150f ! it was really working hard, im going to try reducing punch on the mamba but i'll probably end up going up a tooth on the pinion and going back to 3s.

Did you really just say that??? This is CandyMan... His builds are EPIC!

Try a Slipperential. The Slipperential really made all of my trucks more controllable.
