Got a photo? Is it like this?

Oh, probably this one:

The mamba monster V1, similar to what I had in my Savage FLux HP. 6S capable, 120A continuous. Some adjustable stuff via the castle program card. Not waterproof like the V2, which is what I pictured before (put in the v1 traxxas brushless revo, MXL-6S).

yep... the black one, but the motor is black not green. so I will have no trouble with 2S LiPo's? I just do some general bashing and chasing geese

 

[bammbamm14]

also....will this have the "LiPo protection" activated? and how can I check for this?

Whoops I took awhile to log on today but I brought him up to speed on it through private message lol.

Oh I probably shoulda said in my pm.. the black motor's connectors. Are they blue, yellow, and white? (order doesn't matter) If so then thats castle made motor, extremely high quality. If it's blue black and white (order doesn't matter) then it's a Traxxas made motor. I mean it's still more than enough, but they use shorter rotors with lower quality magnets and compensate with cheap washers.

I think the manual steps for that are in here, according to their site:

That's the mamba max manual, it's a much different esc. Not saying it wouldn't work though

Essentially you have the mamba monster series, which is for ultra heavy 8th scale monster trucks, and 6s lipo. It came on the emaxx brushless from 20xx to 2013. Then in late 2013 they started using the mxl.

And you have the mamba max series, which is for ultra heavy 10th scale vehicles and even light 8th scale buggies. It's famous for being able to use 6s lipo just like the mamba monster. Pretty cool right?

I suggested to him that he just buys castle link and does it there because it's easier and besides, you get all the other cool programming options too.

Yeah, I know. It's where they listed the older MMv1 though. I meant to tell him to get a castle link or field card, but forgot to type it as I was skimming through the manual and finding the video.

Oh you got the awkward motor that’s after the green castle motors, but before the black yellow-blue-white motors. You have the black can with standard castle wire. She’s castle made

They’re actually pretty rare.

that's cool... that should be ok for what I plan on doing, just screwing around
