SCHUMACHER MENACE GTR
Would a SCHUMACHER MENACE GTR be to much car for my mamba max 5700kv? The guy selling it said he ran a 7700 with 2s lipos in it, and it flew. But it's a 1/8 scale car. Also are parts available for this? it sounds like it's a nitro conversion. Oh and it's a 3 speed? Would I burn my Mamba Max up? Also what do you guys think it's worth? This is it! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=017

I'm just worried about the weight and the 3 speed tranny. He said it has a special pinion for that crazy spur. I know how touchy the MM's are with gearing=thermals.

RE: SCHUMACHER MENACE GTR
I allready have the Mamba Max 5700kv system and running it. I love it. So far doesn't get that hot unless I run 12 cells, and it's the batterys that get hot. I ordered a Maxamps 3s 5000hv 20s lipo and it will be expressed shipped tomorrow
. I ordered it almost 3 weeks ago though[:@] I do not reccomend MaxAmps to anybody they custom build all there batterys fresh. The guy said the day I ordered it it takes 2 days to make it. I finally called them 2 weeks later because they wouldn't reply to my e-mail and they said they just shipped it. I called them again today after they wouldn't respond to my e-mail again and he said I've got it right here and we'll mail it out tomorrow?
If I wasn't in such a hurry to get it I would have told him to go @#$& yourself and refund me my money.

RE: SCHUMACHER MENACE GTR
How much weight over your standard touring car are we talking? And they have threads showing a GTRe converted to a two speed. I did not look to see if they had a one speed conversion. It is a lovely kit and is probably the closest thing to wrangling the power of a 7700 MM and making ti managable.
