Updated Mamba Max with ESC plugs
I've decided I got tired of the same 'ol look of the Mamba Max and did something about it. Took out the wires and soldered plugs instead. Power wires were upgraded from 13AWG to 12AWG. Motor wires were left stock and got 3.5mm plugs on the ESC side. This time I can mess around with different motor wire lengths in all my cars without being stuck with wires that were cut too short. I used Lutach's 25V capacitor bank for that extra smoothness at startup and hard braking al the way up to 5S.

RE: Updated Mamba Max with ESC plugs
The Mamba Max was always able to handle 5S and some did 6S. However to handle the bigger loads, the additional caps are needed. TVS's are not a bad idea to add, when wanting to run 6S.
