You should buy a dev kit of the A123 cells and make you two 2s saddle packs. Run 6.6v Li-ion instead of 4.8 nimh's, or make two 2s2p packs if two A123's will fit on each side.


A123's Li-Ion cells are too long to fit in the Chassis... They are slightly longer than Sub-C's... This thing takes 2/3aa's

Any links for the metal pinions?!

You can get metal pinions to fit on the Mamba Motor, no problem. I run a metal pinion in my Mini-T Pro, in place of the crappy plastic one.

You should see if you can find some Lipo's to put in that thing... 2 Packs, one on either side... Then you could run 7.4v and have the 2 packs in series.

8000kv motor is ridiculous on 7.4v (in my opinion) it's just TOO fast. I think 4.8-5.0v is going to be a nice place for that motor

Ordered these IB-1400 cells.. maybe I need to order another one, so I can make 3 4-cell packs.. ha!

They are back ordered.. so don't expect to get this project running anytime soon..



Careful with those. I was chargine mine at 1a and 5mv/c peak and they leaked, so hate to tell ya, but go really slow and low mv for them I showed pics too and they're trying to blame it on my charger, no more integy for me.

Anyway, super props on this one. Ever since this came out and I saw a vid I've wanted one. So sleek, so low, insane handling....have fun on this one!

Integy quality is so hit or miss it's ridiculous. Some parts work great, other stink.

Probably very similar with the charging line.

Ya, It must be that because several others charge the same exact way without any problems but about 10 cycles in my batts were done.
