RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread
I would recommend everyone check your rear hubs/bearings. I was messing around with my old stock ones and put them back on with the bearings and the rear axels had so much play in them it was unreal. So I slapped back on my Rpm rear hubs which are so much better they feature a larger bearing to help support the rear axel and there was no play so whatever and these are 6-7 months old. The stock one's only lasted 2 months before i upgraded.
I also run the Mamba Max Pro esc. it works great and it is still a small esc so it isnt going to make the truck to heavy. The Fan's in them are junk and usally die quick at least on the older models. Upside to the MMP is there's no motor limit, Can run 4 pole/2 pole motor's, Can run Sensored or Sensorless.
I run the MMP with a Castle 3800kv. Makes the truck extremly fast and have more torque then you know what do with wheelies on command. I've had my truck going 70mph with a 3s lipo with this setup. Just had to make some gearing changes.
