Burned Out Mamba Max, time to move on..

[motonut]

So I'm just getting back into RC SCT and with my new addition, the Blitz ESE, i was unfortunate in burning out my mamba ESC. Now I'm looking at a replacement and wanted to see if anyone has had success with the following.

I'm looking at the HPI Motive or Blur, Novak Havoc or GTB or another Mamba. I would rather not try another Mamba (mine fried out in less than 4 months).

some insight would be nice and any recommendations will be helpful.

ps. I'm still a noob in training

If you go with a Novak system avoid the refurbs! i was being cheap while back and bought one of there refurb systems on the Novak site, the first esc took about 10 seconds to go up in smoke, the second lasted a little longer but also failed. I have had good luck when I bought them new though.


Just curious, what motor were you running with the mamba and what gearing?

Many people use these and work great in a 2wd. http://www.speedpassion.net/en/productDetails.asp?p=112

I have another brand new one with extras that someone was suppose to get but never did. Selling it much cheaper then retail. I have it on the 4 sale thread if you are interested.

I was planning on trying what you said. But meanwhile I went and pickup a couple of Novak Havok Pro and a 10.5T Ballistic. The ESC were cheap, due to the new one that came out. I do miss using the castle link though.

Castle has always had great service on the systems I bought.
