I figured I would start a Mamba thread by itself so when new people come in asking questions there is a thread specificaly for such!
so post anything to do with mamba brusless setups or any other brushless comments if you care.

anyways i sold my mamba 2054 wich is why i bought the 8000 from bishop. and i get it tomarrow!

hey irish tell up how it goes and maybe how fast it goes alot of people dont have mambas so can youmake it a motor tread

I also bought the Mamba 8000 - But because it is being shipped from west coast of USA I won't have it til next week or so.

I am going to put in the Micro RS4 that I bought this past Sunday. I also got the HPI Graphite upgrade kit and some extra bodies. I cant wait til the Car and the mamba arrives. I am like a kid at Christmas.

how will the mamba 8000 do and about how fast will it go with losi and dinamite 6 cell batts

Ok i got my 8000 today here is my report lol

well i put it in same as the 5400 i put it

i ran the same batteries kan 1050 bascially it ran about half the power faster then the 5400 ran with the same batteries
so if u run like a baja or 5400 with yur same packs it will be another half time faster!!
i cannot wait to try with my lithium packs when i get them.

now i ran it with 13 tooth pinion any idead wich pinions u want me to try?

overall im quite happy!!!!

WOW irish, i am J.. I put my lipos on hold as I just got a new rocketry kit for my daughter, she's into them things, so were going to take advantage of the nice calm days we have been having. I cant wait to watch her launch them at night lol.

I am happy w/ my 5400s and if I want to go faster, I have my XXX NT, which is madfast.

that is cool how would a 8000 mamba run and a losi and dinamite batts till i get more money to buy some lipos

madblunted

You would be really satisfied, tell you that, i am running dynamite packs and I like it w/ my 5400 a tad bit faster than my micro monster wild. I am glad I upgraded. I am itching to get the damn lipos bad lol. Oh well.

studysession

I have been thinking about the lipo's myself.

OK - I emailed Castle Creations asking some questions. I wanted to make sure I kept within the limits of this Mamba 8000 motor and ESC.

The ESC can handle up to 12 cells but the motor can only hanlde 8. If you go more than 8, eventually the motor will be blown. Good enough and I can accept that. I told them I ordered a Micro RS4 and was designing a chassis that can fit 8 cells and we went back and forth with questions on and answers on this.

They replied back that with the setup I was talking about using their motor and ESC combo with 8 cells my Micro RS4 would run anywhere from 70 - 80MPh and wanted to know where I would run such a thing.

I thought that was amazing. I hope it does go that fast with this motor. I will use the VSM for testing speed. I ordered a 2nd VSM with some extra magnet and sensors to use on my other cars.

My Feedback: (4)

yes i will do a video in a few minutes the video will show it with only my 6 cell kan battery... and a 13 tooth pinion check back in a bit this mornin

studysession

Kan pack - which cells are those?

Irlsh

My Feedback: (4)

kan 1050 one of the best nimh 2/3 size cells out
put out more power then most 1250 cells

Irish, I've heard good things about mambas and stock gearing with a 14t pinion. lemme know how it goes.
Kan cells are great, study, most of the time when i charge at 1 amp i can get them to about 1200mah. I've been really impressed by them but decided to try gp1100's ill let ya know how they are once i get them which should be in the next day or so.

studysession

The GP1100's is what the guy from Castle Creation receomended if you are using NiCad/NiMH bat's.

I asked what batteries do they recommend for the mamba and here it a quote from email I received from tech support at Castle Creations.
Because of doing a 540 conversion later, i will most likely get the Sanyo CP1300SCR's myself. The 2/3a bat's are known to have a short life time when ran with a 540 size motor.

ye i wanna try the gp as well buy i have 4 kan's and i ordered 2 lithos but im doing video right now with the kan 6 cell 1050 hang tight i will put it up!

studysession

Cool! I want to see the vid! Doing any jumps? That's why I want a MiniT is to jump. Right now it has to wait til about Christmas. Then i will get the MiniT and a TLT-1.

Irlsh

My Feedback: (4)

no this is just going back and forth i will do some jumps later just an idea to see the speed with just a 6 cell 1050 im editing the video right now!

Ok i just did the video lil bit ago it is a minit runnin with the mamba 8000 with only a 6 cell 1050 kan pack
the part where the video fallows the car is funny because im holding the camera with one hand and the radio with other hand. talented eh?
no the video is like 7mb so if u are on dialup i feel sorry for you and u can dowload the video seperatly by right clicking the link and selecting SAVE TARGET AS then view after it finishes.!
otherwise this video is nothing special just shows the truck with the 6 cell and i am quite pleased i cant wait to see with a 8 cell and with my lithiums when they come.. anyways enjoy oh it is with a 13 tooth pinion and a 60t spur.
