Default Mamba Max 5700, a t4, and 8 Matched Ni-Mh Cells

Wow I thought I'd just add 2 more cells... and that was a bad Idea... I unglued my rear 2 wheels and MELTED my spur gear and gear cover... a big glop of melted spur gear teeth got stuck to my shock tower. Just an FYI if you go Li-Po and have 3 cells... have a somewhat loose slipper...

Tighten that slipper up, the excessive slipping cause the heat that melted the gear, it should only slip a little on hard take offs....
