RC Driving Style
  1. Bashing
I have regretted selling my CRT.5 since about 2 days after i sold it and since its the one rc i had literally no issues with, other than those caused by other driving, i am going to build up another one.

Its the Ofna 1/12th scale truggy and the roller i am getting already has the monster RC brushless conversion on it as well as a tekno battery tray.

My dilema is what setup to run. At first i was sold on a mamba max on 3S just like before. That setup runs cool, can hit close to 50mph, and is relatively cheap.

Then i started thinking about running a mmm instead. Getting a lower kv motor and stepping up to 5S on it. This would give me unreal top end but i could adjust my epa for bashing if i wanted to.

Then i started thinking about weight. I don't want to load it down with electronics and start stressing the drivetrain even though it is one of the strongest drivetrains i have encountered. I want to keep it light and nimble so i can jump it without bottoming out and blowing shocks out.



Lets get some idea rolling!
 
You are insane.....I know it is not an idea...but a fact. That's one of the things I like about you....lol. Man that DOES sound bad to the bone though. I think you are on the right track with the lower KVA. Use the 5s for high speed and a 2s or 3s for bashing. Sounds like a plan brother.
 
i decided on a mamba monster 2650 and 4S 6000. should be nasty. Only problem is i need another 500 to make this dream a reality. Might take a few months to get this bad boy rollin
 
I had JOKINGLY though Mamba Monster but goodness....I was joking man. Hey how about a gasser while you are at it? Strap a baja engine on that bad boy. Oh don't give me the excuse that the engine would be bigger than the car....oh wait I guess it is. But all jokes aside do you think the M. Monster motor can would fit in there?
 
i am going to back down to the 2200kv setup. I have been watching videos and i am thinking the 2650 will push it over the line of driveability.
