RE: Sportwerks Recoil 1/14

The Dynamite C4 is the same can size as the Mamba 20mm diameter, by 33mm length...same as the Mamba. I doubt it has any more capacity. I'd be concerned about motor temps and longevity.

RE: Sportwerks Recoil 1/14

The lower kV motor will be more slightly more efficient....and it will draw less current at the same throttle...however, it will probably have the same, or less power capacity as the higher kV motor....

RE: LIPO QUESTION. PLEASE ANSWER

That is a good rule, though now some of the best batteries can be charged as high as 2C (like the Kokam cells.)

RE: Hitting 80 mph!?!?

That would work great. On the cheap a Fiegao XL motor...say a 6XL or 7XL powered by a MambaMax and a 3S or 4S pack (with external BEC) and you will have wayyyyy more power than you can handle. Put...

RE: First RC car

If the surface is a little bit rough, like you say, you could have serious problems with a touring car. They don't have a lot of ground clearance...even "jacked up." You would be better off with a...

RE: Why not Brushless?

That is still "fixed" timing. You can adjust it anyway you want, but it will then be fixed at that setting. A timing that is ideal for high speed is bad for lower speeds...in fact, if you over...

RE: Why not Brushless?

Brushed will have it's place in low end cheap systems and for nostalgic people....the types that like messing with carburetors. Surely, you don't think carburetors are in any way superior to fuel...

RE: Why not Brushless?

This is somewhat true with Mamba based systems....but I've found Novak's sensored to be every bit as smooth in power delivery as a brushed. To be more accurate it takes about 10 revolutions for the...

RE: Why not Brushless?

Actually, brushless is the master of all. A brushless doesn't have to be mechanically designed for one purpose. The timing is in the ESC so it can be designed for low torque and high speed and...

RE: CHEAP BRUSHLESS ???

as thaphillips mentioned, the 380 is a smaller motor. It doesn't have the capacity of a 540 motor. The 380 brushless is about equivalent to a stock 540 brushed. You will need to go with a smaller...

RE: Help me choose the right charger

Yes, definitely upgrade to a NiMh peak charger. You might also consider the Duratrax Piranha. It is, at $50 bucks, one of the best values in a NiMh charger...and it has a fair bit of adjustability...

RE: Cheap Battery Packs Brushless compared to MAMBA

The mah is important because it determines the maximum amperage the battery can deliver. If you go over that amperage the voltage will drop and you can even damage the battery. Most of the better...

RE: Mamba max 5700 v.s. Novak
