I saw Hobby People has the MM on sale, I don't have a 1/10 truck (capable of brushless yet, but want one so soon), and was wondering if I should get it, or wait, I have the mula, I hate parting with it, it is $190, HELP

Get your 1/10 truck of car first, then get the Mamba...................

PedeBeater

I say get it now. It might go back up in price.

calvino

yeah, I was looking at like an e-savage, or a T4 (for racing), somein like tat[>:]

calvino

good point, it is $25 off, I checked EBAY, foret it, about the same price as new..... I asked my mum if I should get it, she said, "ya got the mula, your choice", that was helpful, now, what one to get, the 5700 or the 7700

j.m.

you can get it sheaper. I remember a place on the web where you could get it for $170 or so. PVT_Pile nows where. (i think)

calvino

um, did that factor in shipping, my LHS will pricematch, but the sale ends tomorrow, EEK[&:]

Don't put the mamba max motors in an e-savage. The motors are nmot big enough and will overheat very quickly. The esc would be just fine as long as you had a fan on it.

I agree that the CM36 motors will be to light for such a big truck. Rather get the MM ESC and an XL motor. Something like the Feigao 8XL or 10XL.

Besides, you can get that MM combo from B-P-P for $212 and then $25. So that is $187 and that includes shipping. So do not panic about the price going up.

sloppyG

you can always get the sidewinder combo for $148 or so too.......

more and more people are making brushless, and things are getting cheaper and cheaper....

heck, you can get the sidewinder ESC for $78 and buy whatever motor you want...

calvino

ok, that was just a thought, now leaning towards like a, T4, or something like that, downisde is, it is more of a racer, not a basher[]

PedeBeater

Don't switch your thinking just because of that. You could actually pay less on a motor and the mamba max esc that will work great in a e-savage. A lot of people on e-savage.com are using these in their e-savage's with great success. And are dirt cheap!

nothing wrong with bashing a t4, they're tougher than you'd think

I've actually never broken anything on my B4, but I have broken a couple bits on my rustler

also I took out my B4 trans to mess with the diff (I know you don't have to) and it's only a 3-5 minute job to remove it, the rustler trans is much more work to remove

calvino

yeah, that is a good point, it is an aircraft motor so it is designed for all out torque

PedeBeater

But also has great speed. People on 12 cells have hit over 40mph with that motor and the mm esc. I can't imagine how fast mine will be going with 4s lipo![8D]

traxxas4ever

the mamba is sweet it kicks butt. besides it might go up in price soon.

calvino

yeah, will think about it, it is just annoing how I don't have (at the moment) a car for it, but plan to get one soon[8D]

y might it go up in price soon?

PedeBeater

Because it is "on sale" on a lot of sites.

B-P-P has them for $212 but it has the coupon for $25 off of that price if you use this coupon- MAMBA25
Plus BPP has free shipping and are more reliable IMO.

calvino

wow, thanks, that is shure cheap
