Im not trying to be rude, but this thread is for Mamba Max discussion. Not hopups!!!!
Please post a new thread, and you may want to mention what type of car you have in order for someone to help you find the correct parts.
Good Luck!

Does anybody know where to get the Aluminium hopups and a new chassis from? I was looking at rcmart, but when you checkout all the extra charges, no way man, it's like an extra 20% on top of what I want to order.
Please help as I want to order the stuff now.
Cheers

RE: Official Mamba Max Thread!!!!!!
well i am pissed! my mamba crapped out on me today!. i have had it for like 2 weeks(if that)only like 10 runs(if that) and the ESC just stopped....no light no sound nothing. just before it died it was glitching and was all crazy, i had reverse locked out on it but it would sit there and jitter back and forthlike a 1/4 inch. took it to the LHS Nick(owner) was looking at it trying to figure out what was wrong and then it just shut off and wont turn back on...i will be contacting CC tonight and it will be replaced or refunded...fun while it lasted but i am not happy, i dont have $180 to just spend like it where nothing. what were your average temps for the ESC and a 6900 motor?

Wookie,
No problems here...just killing my cars. Mines doesn't start glitching until after the battery starts running down. Radio interference has a lot to do with glitching also.

RE: Official Mamba Max Thread!!!!!!
Hmmm I notched my trany out some on my Rustler and cut my body a little more for air. And Im still getting motor temps at 170 with the lowest gearing possible. What the heck? I know 170 is ok, but I really dont understand why my other one runs around 130 normally with higher gearing. Its really getting to me.

Hope you enjoy! They ship pretty fast also, Priority Mail 2-3 days here in the US. United Kingdom might take a while though!

RE: Official Mamba Max Thread!!!!!!
Hmm this thread is getting slow, and I see there are still Mamba threads being started. Come on everyone post any experiences, problems, speeds, ect... Lets keep this going on the 1st page to help keep so many Mamba threads from being started. I know alot of people are getting tired of seeing them, I have seen many complaints.
I personally am waiting on FLM parts that I broke the get my Pede going agian so I swap my 5700 motors and see what the deal is with my overheating problem. I just ran my Rustler again and got the motor up to 190.5 degrees. I figured notching the trany would have helped a little, guess not![:@]

I havent tried it yet, I might here in the near future. Gotta work out my problems first. And I mainly have 7 cell packs, but I do have 1 Venom 3300 and a GP3300 I could wire up and use. From what I understand you can hit over 60mph with the right gearing. CRAZY I would need a landing strip to run it!!! lol

RE: Official Mamba Max Thread!!!!!!
I have a brand new Mamba-Max that I want to use. I have tried so hard to get it connected to my computers (that’s 3 running win XP)
I have almost given up, first, I have installed all drivers and latest software. Next I have connected the ESC to my Computers with the supplied USB cable and it says it’s connected within the software.
When it is connected I then can not use any functions with the software with my mouse, I can tab to restore default button but that’s it. I then have to kill the program from task manager as it will not close either.
This is driving me nuts.
anyone with any sugestions? Ive already sent a email to CC just waiting a reply

Have you tried uninstalling it and downloading it from CC's website? I didnt even use the CD I dont think, maybe just for the driver. But I didnt have any problems.
I downloaded the software before I even had a Mamba,lol

Well with all my overheating problems I called Castle Creations. They are sending me a new motor!!!!!!!! They have great customer service, so far. The guy I talked to was cool, and didnt try to act like it was my fault or anything. And the good thing is that I dont have to send mine in first, they are sending the new motor with a package to send the old one back, with postage already paid! No money out of my pocket, like with most companies.
But he did tell me not to run my car anymore, just let it sit until I get the new one. He said the more I drive it the more its going to mess up the motor. So now I have 3 cars/trucks down waiting for parts.[&o]

I personally havent even looked at manual programming. Just plug it in and go.
Why wouldnt you be OK hooking a RC car up to a computer? They hook the cars we drive every day up to computers all the time. I wish I could use my computer on my Nissans, that would be awsome if I could adjust them like I do my Mamba!!!!!!

Actually I found the curves help alot! I did the same thing at first. But the curves actually help!
You can adjust your throttle curve and it will help with wheelies, whether you want them or not. And how it flows into the throttle, instead of the "slam on the gas" effect.
And the brake curve actually helps ease on the brakes so you slow down, instead of spinning in circles trying to stop. In my case anyway.
Basicly the cuves will smooth things out for you.
