Too late Bit head sorry

My order:

Slipper
23t and 25t pinion
Deans
Set of dirt hawgs
SMC IB4200
and........... the Mamba

Now just to wait 6-8 weeks[:@]

streetracer745

how much do you want for your mamba bit?

rc monkey

Do you have a DI streetracer745?

streetracer745

yeah. built it about a week ago. curently have a tekin rebel 2 speed control (doesnt fit under the body so i cant use my fresh body yet) and a speedgems extreem 17turn mod motor. it will keep up with my bros new emaxx, which is impressive considering its only a single speed up to a 2 speed. i run a brushless in my stree tcar and love the feel of it and i really want to put one into my DI. im prdering a mamba on monday i think.

rc monkey

Cool

lee1092

I got a df03 DI, nd i think its mint.

dog bit it so it got an air flow system

think it worth buying hop-ups?

rc monkey

LOL

The only hop-ups you really need unless you are racing is the slipper and maybey CVD's but I have fixed the dogbone problem

streetracer745

yeah im ordering a mamba 7700 for my DI this week cant wait to see it fly, literally

Lunchboxer

Sure you don't want the 5700?!

streetracer745

hey when it comes to power, the more the better. usually. i mean if its not gonna tear the crap out of my gear box the nyeah i want it. but if its gonna eat my gears as soo nas i put it in the ni dont.

Lunchboxer

No, your gear will be fine.. but you will lose run time.. and in dirt, you can't put down that much power anyway.. I wouldn't be surprised that a lowered power BL system will win in a race.. but for bashing, it is all good..

streetracer745

mostly bashing. no 4wd electric class right now. if i can show them i have fast enoug hlap times they will let me run with 1/8 though. i already talked to the track owners. they said if my DI had enough power to go that fast and be that quick and take the jumps good enough, the ni could run with them. and right now my 17 turn aint near enough to run with a nitro 1/8. haha

Lunchboxer

Still, I think 5700 will be plenty quick.. but keep us posted!!

green25

I would reconsider putting that 7700 kv Mamba in the DI. You will not be able to control it easily at all in dirt, and your runtimes will be noticeably shorter than the 5700kv. I would just stick with the 5700 IMO.

streetracer745

im not really sure. im goign to be using it in a race truck too, so im kind of worried about the power for that. but i mean that would be melt the tires fast and thats kinda what i want.

Lunchboxer

On the track, do those 1/8th nitro buggies hit 45mph?

streetracer745

at my track they do. LONG straight on the front. big one on the back to but it has a bunch of jumps so you dont get up to full speed. and the quickness out of the turns makes a difference too.

Great and helpful thread you guys have here.

rc monkey

Hey streetracer, I would advise you to get the new MM6900, I hav the 7700 in my DI and it is crazy fast but the runtimes do suffer quite abit

streetracer745

how long of runtimes do you get o nyour 7700? i want the insanely fast on mine anyways...

rc monkey

Maybe 5mins most on a 3300 pack, haven't tried my IB4200 yet
