I personally own the 6.5r, and its super fast, however I would have to say the mamba for sure on this one, as it will handle far more cells than the 6.5 esc will.
Given that you will be drag racing, and more than likely using 7cells or more, I say go with the mamba.....

even if both were running on 6 cells the 7700kv would be faster since the 6.5r is only rated at 6400kv. If your going to stick with 6cells then it would be safe to say that the 4.5r would be faster in a straight line. IMO just for with the mamba. I really like being able to configure the esc on the computer and anodized green looks seckzi.

RE: whitch system best for bashing and speed runs
Whoa!, is it jus me or does he not hava Name![X(]
i donno for bashin and speed runs id say Mamba 7700 on 7-8 cells, that'd be wicked fast! but cant it only run 2 65,000 rpms that motor? so 7700 on 7 cells is 8.4v's so thats 64680 rpms!, on 8 cells its 9.6v's witch is 73920 thats a fair bit over 65,000 i guess after load and all that!, it might not be that high it'll loose sum rpms! but i think the max u can run the 7700 is 7 cells!
but that'd be purrty wild!, i gotta lrp/reedy brushless system the 9T verison, (3 star) And on 7 cells Its pushin purrty fast i wouldnt Doubt over 40+ mph! AND MAD! TORQUE! And can run brushed motors 2, thats kinda usally cause ones u go brushless most people dont go back but hey atleast its there, and u can by the 7t verison Witch is Wildly fast![X(] same With the New NOVAK 3.5R! that should be very fast as well![ I run 7 and 6 cells on my neo 1, and its fast Very fast i love it!, PULLS WHEELIES, Huge roosters!, everything, and decent run time probs 8-10mins! Mabey more then timed it and the novak 4.5R AND 3.5R would be wicked fast but can only safly hold 6 cells!, the Neo one (lrp/reedy) one can hold 7 cells!, so thats y id take the Mamba 7700 on 7 cells or the LRP NEO 1 9T OR 7T motors with the Comp esc! Any of thoes WOULD RIP! FROM THE NOVAK 4.5 AND THE 3.5! 2 THE LRP/REEDY NEO 1 9T AND 7T TURN, and the Mamba 7700! they'd ALL BE VERY FAST VERY!, any of thoes would be my pic!

Castle didn't get to be the top-rated brand for aircraft and helis without being rock-solid reliable.

RE: whitch system best for bashing and speed runs
The mamba ESC will run sensored motors, you just hook up the 3 motor wires as normal and ignore the sensor strip. I tried it with a Neo motor and it worked fine.
And if it matters you can change the mamba ESC on the fly too, you have the option of using stick programming or using the computer. Stick programming doesn't have all the choices, but it still has more than most ESCs. And you don't need to sponsor a top pilot to get good industry reviews, smaller companies can't always afford sponsorship on the scale of a larger company. My point isn't making a comparison to other brands, it's that, in order to be respected among aircraft or heli users, you absolutely have to have the reliability thing down.

RE: whitch system best for bashing and speed runs
I buy RC hardware just the same way I buy anything else, reviews, asking around / word-of-mouth, own trial and error, etc. A good rl example would be something like a paintball gun. I'm not going to buy a specific model of gun just b'cos a member of 'team dynasty' or some other well-known pro or champion team uses the same gun. I'm probably going to go for something much less expensive, equally or more reliable, and that suits my own needs better. The pro using a certain type of gun doesn't make that gun better or worse, in the end a good product is-what-it-is and can stand alone on that.
To me, sponsorship is an excess, like advertisement and trade shows. It doesn't make your product better, it just makes them more visible. Money spent on sponsorship is money that isn't going to redevelopment, product testing, improvement, new development, or the like. Bashers aren't competing against other bashers as much as just trying to have fun. Even at things like the 'max speed challenge', it's not a very competitive environment.
