Mamba Max works with motors up to 12000kv!

This was actually tested for dragracers, but there might be some you who always wonder it it's possible. And for those that are scared to try a Sensored system, there is still hope. I used high kv sensored motors to test the limits of the beloved Mamba Max. I've tested the Mamba max with 12000kv(2.5T) motors, 11000kv(3T), 9800kv(3.5T), 8500kv(7T) motors with success. To do so, it is adviced to run additional low esr caps at the ESC voltage input to reduce ripple current. Mamba Max tested have four 330uF 35V panasonic caps added.

Motors tested were:
X10 LRP 7T >w/4s1p A123
X11 LRP 4.5T, 3.5T w/3s1p A123
X12 LRP 3.0T >w/2s2p A123
LT-2.5T >w/2S 6500mah maxamps
LT-3.5T >w/2S 6500mah maxamps
Orion 2.5 >w/2s2p A123

LRP X10 and X11 have the biggest rotors. So for dragracing, you might want to swap in the smaller diameter rotors for smoother takeoffs and reduced torque.

Shameless plugin for Lutach: His 120A hybrid 1/10 ESC that I'm still testing, doesn't break a sweat with the X12 LRP's. Even in a FLM Rustler!

Vehicles that these motors were tested in are: Dragster and a CRC pan car

Good to know!

That is one nice Top Fuel you have there.

That used to be mine. Chassis was modded for the Extreme class. I couldn't run A123's properly, so I sold it to a new driver, who also races with the LT monster motors.

Nice. I showed someone else a picture of the 1/8 scale ESC and mentioned the features I wanted and also the 2 versions, he went nuts lol. Hopefuly they'll be ready soon.

Is that HMP? I didnt konow they run rc cars. I run my real race car there lol. Is it like a sanction event out there. If so ill bring my buggy to race

[snellemin]

Yes that is HMP. You can get the racing schedule at gcdragracing

Thanks man, Ill look onto it. Is there a open class

[snellemin]

Yes, you can enter the bracket class. Sunnyhoutx also does his speedruns there.

The GTP and Truggy will be nice test beds for them.
