The mamba should be a direct fit for the mlst, and get the viscous diffs.

yes it will drop rigth in, you dont need a new motor plate, however if you can, put washers in the motor screws because they are very small and can pass thru the motor plate holes in a hard chrash, is not mandatory but if you can is better. If you shim and boil your diffs it will be fine if you use the stock battery pack, even if you dont do that your diff will last some time.

Coggin mean when from a stanstill you press the throttle and the motor starts to make sudden short stops. you should be find with the stock pack, mine dont cog on the stock pack, IF you can in the future try getting the viscous diffs.

Exactly how bad is the cogging with the Competition series and a 2cell Lipo?

i just finished putting it together and i ran the stock pack through it once, the motor ran at round 135F is that normal?
and how can i re-program the ESQ??

and how much is the difference between the stock pack and a 1400mah pack?

You can re-program the esc with the radio according to the directions included, or they can be found on castle's website if you don't have them.

135 is a perfectly fine temp for your motor, you wanna get concerned when it get's up near 200.

Between a set of good 1400 Mah IB cells and the stock pack is a world of difference in runtime and punch, get a 7 cell pack if your budget will allow it. You'll have screaming speed's and good runtime's.
