RURC,

Well I guess you can say I told you so. Cuz exactly what you said would happen... happened. A mamba Maxx and 5s in a 1/8 buggy = Smoke and Fire. No major damage other than to the Mamba Max itself. It ran OK for a few packs, but it was just pushing to hard. It seems like it will be totally stable on 4s but 5s is just a little to much for it.

I'm going with the quark this time. The $50 replacement Mamba Max from CC will find its way into a 1/10 somewhere around here? Gotta love a $50 ''for any reason'' replacement plan. In all honesty without that plan I would never have tried 5s with it.

Anyway.... hope someone else can learn from this
