blitz with mamba max 5700

[mustangfan2000]

ok i ordered my blitz today and i am going to be putting in my brushless set up from my slash. my slash at about 60 will get a blow over if using a proline body the stock body it will only run about 50. my question is has anyone already switched to brushless and what kind of stability does it have? i would think with the lower center of gravity and less air under the truck it should run just fine. any ideas? thanks:thumbup1:

couple guys been running 5700 with no problems, keep us updated.

I tried a Mamba Sidewinder combo with stock gearing in my Blitz and found that the speed was excessive to the point of being hard to control-I am now running an Xcelorin 4800kv motor with an EZrun 80 amp ESC and 86/22 gearing.This gives me good speed and acceleration and the motor stays within normal temps-115 to 130 F after extended driving.I also have a Slash with an EZrun 4300kv motor,60 amp ESC and stock gearing,an SC10 with VXL 3500kv combo and an SC10 with an EZrun 3000kv motor and 60 amp ESC-all these trucks perform well,don't run too hot and still display the characteristics that make short course trucks so much fun.If I feel the need for speed,I get the B/L E-Revo out,throw in a couple of 3s lipos and go for it.

update

Ok the blitz has arrived and went on its maiden voyage with my mamba 5700 ans a zippy 11s battery wit 18/88 gearing. let me just say with a stock lid on it took about 2 runs to grind holes thru the lid, painted up a proline body and did some fine tuning and dropped a tooth on the pinion and grabed a hand full of throttle. oh yeah and ditched the stock servo for a futaba unit a 9350 to be exact. this truck compared to my slash is night and day. this thing handles great and corners on rails. i did put on some anacondas for street use also. i would highly recommend this truck. working on it is a breeze and with a low center of gravity it handles awesome. anyway power down....:thumbup1:

 

[jootz]

nice set-up, just check your drivecups everytime.

I dropped a MM 7700 in my Blitz, its a bit over powered but thats how I like it.. I just use the CC Software to tame the beast at the track!!

I am looking at the same system for my Blitz:

1) Have you tried it on the track with the Mamba Max 5700 system??

2) Any issues to date??

Thanks.

 

[mustangfan2000]

no issues to date other than the good ole leaky diff but hpi sent me out new orings for free. just been used for playin right now with a 3s battery its way to over powered for dirt i just put in my 2s for that and its a blast. i just can't kill this truck wish i would of gotten it earlier and ditched the slash

what kind of speeds are u getting with the set up

 

[waggaclint]

I'm running a LRP 4200kv system in mine and i reakon its not fast enough it good but but I'm wanting more power so I've order CC 5700KV system should be better know i hoping..

 

[pars011]

My Blitz with the MM 5700 @ 2S and stock gearing run a little too hot for my liking

And @ 3S it runs WAY TOO Hot!! I'm thinking on gearing down

 

[waggaclint]

Yeah I'm running 16/88 with my 5700kv system and it runs alot cooler still not 100% but it pretty good i can run a full 4000mah 2s 25c lipo pack threw it without any drama's....I do let it cool a bit in between batteries....

a video of it on the track would be cool
