Traxxas Fun, Mamba Monster Summit

[maxyd98]

awesome can it do wheelies

[mempey]

It can do back flips.

[jessetraxxas]

rob zombie FTW

[cannonsburger1]

Great video and editing!

[6chas9]

what method of waterproofing did you use? and has it caused any heat issues?

please respond

[mempey]

I used liquid tape. It eventually failed and ruined the esc when I hit it with the water hose a little too hard.

[GtGills]

Where did u buy the go pro at

[mutantmutant]

Nice crawling spot!

[gimpy50]

Really cool video. How did you rasie the ride height on the summit so it dosnt fall so low to the ground,

[Hellcow10]

Awesome quality video, good camera work, had a good mix of stuff in it. Do moar!!!!!!

[madchad77]

Very cool vid and cool song Traxxas Summit kicks arse got mine this month!!!Ty for posting!!

[picotish760]

hey im thinking of doing this but do you have to change the stock gearing for the mamba monster motor to the summit

[mempey]

The MMM comes with a pinion gear that you can use with no problem.

[acasoFamily]

@mempey ... Hey Man,, what gearing comes with Mamba Monster... on your video you showed there that it could still crawl... also... have you tried it running with the stock gearing and whats the stop speed?... thank you.... whats also the top speed when you just use 5000 mah nimH battery...

[kyrkbymannen]

Brutal video! Cool

[mempey]

Thanks!

[MrRctechno]

Thanks man so it I want the mamba monster I have to but the esc too

[MrRctechno]

I want to upgrade my summit to a mamba monster and I was wondering if I only buy the motor it's self if the evx2 speed controler will work for it. Please let me know. Thanks

[mempey]

No, you can't run a brushless motor with a brushed ESC. You have to get both motor and ESC. Keep in mind it will not be waterproof. You can put liquid tape on the circuit board to waterproof it but any pressure from the water will short it out. Plus it will void the warranty.

[TheKasoy90]

i have the same summit and the summit got 2 batery inside i got 2 4500 mah

[baconator127]

hahahahhahahah i lol'd at the 487 cartwheels hahahah lolol

[coltenavila]

im new to the rc world and im only 12 so if someone coud explain to me wat "diffs" are

[baconator127]

@coltenavila differential. If you ever notice on a snowy day in a 2wd car if one wheel is on the ice and one is on the pavement ALL power will be transfered to the tire on the ice. This problem was resolved via locking diffs which supply equal power to all wheels so it prevents sliding and gives you a hell of a lot more traction.

[tristancking]

Are you going to get the 1/16 Summit? If so pls review it!

[mempey]

I might at some point. I was disappointed that it doesn't have locking diffs.

[NirtoBreather]

@mempey hey buddy, what size, kind and how many batteries are you running in the vid,thanks

[mempey]

I think it was (2) 2s lipos from Turnagy, 4000mah

[cripin2021]

i admire castle creations for what power their setups yield, but theres just one drawback to em: not waterproof. where i live, non-waterproof is an automatic fail.

[niceNcrispy83]

Would you recommend the MMM upgrade for the summit? Ive heard about a lot of cogging issues when trying to use the low gear for crawling. I love my summit and the titan motor is pretty damn good, so i would have to know if this MMM upgrade is simply waaaay better before upgading. BTW, what kind of speeds are you seeing with your summit now?

[mempey]

I would for sure. Only thing is it is not waterproof. It does cog some, but I can deal with it. I would say it will hit about 45mph with the big tires on it.

[kseries]

Nice video just bought a slash 4x4

[niceNcrispy83]

Nice vid man! I'm going to get one of these around christmas. How has it stood the test of time?

[jaymzedge1]

@niceNcrispy83 Seems the biggest issue with Summits are the breaking half shafts lol good thing they are cheap lol otherwise they are tough trucks

[marcostheman503]

Awesome I need a summit lol

[Wittkopp94]

hey mate got any mods on it? your a fantastic driver!

[Joziebee]

superb vid !! i love it !!!! U r a very good driver !!!

[mempey]

Thank you, drive well... maybe, fly well... not so much yet. lol

[newyorkyankeef4n1018]

does it come with everything you need to drive it right out of the box? Like batteries chargers plugs? I got a Bandit like 2 years ago and it didn't come with the battery and charger

[mempey]

I think they come completely ready to go out of the box now.

[RcBooster]

from wher this music its good....

ps the traxxas summith is ameyzing wish i got 1

i got tamiya levant , TT-01D with brushless 16T and i need to get for her lipo

[traxxasslash95]

How'd u mount ur cam on the slash cuz I wanna mount mine on the inside of my slash but dnt wanna buy the go pro cam.

[czilla575]

can u run the mamba on the slash with 2 wheelied drive?

[mempey]

It would tear it apart, way overkill.

[classicrocker2]

man nice video!!!!, and traxxas had a huge success with the summit, but man perfect times for slow mos!!!

[ElvinsDenali]

o thanks for all the answers man ur vids rock

[mempey]

Your welcome and thanks.

[ElvinsDenali]

i have 4200 nimh 7 cell and i use this battery on the brushless motor or i need new 1ns.

[mempey]

Those will be fine, but you will need to turn off the low voltage cuttoff on the esc.

[ElvinsDenali]

how much didu have it on 5s

[mempey]

You can't run on 5s

[ElvinsDenali]

nice video does this do wheelies?

[mempey]

OOHHH Yeah it does. It would do a back flip easy if I ran 6s in it, but I don't want to shred the tires. lol

[R350SE]

Do u use mmm on ur summit or the EVX-2 ?

Thanks...

[mempey]

The title says Mamba Monster

[alekweiss]

dont you have to waterproof the motor too or just the esc

[mempey]

No just the ESC, sorry in my late responce.

[0012554]

the place where u jumped the e revo looked a lot like lyme new hampsire, where was it???????

[mempey]

I live in Tennessee.

[0012554]

oh, 0_0

but it looks a lot like New Hampsire, i go there every winter

[alekweiss]

two questions

1- what camera are you using?

2- how did you waterproof it?

[mempey]

Sorry I am just now seeing your questions.  I shot this video with my Canon HG20.

I waterproofed the ESC with liquid tape. Just brushed it all over the circuit board.

[timmms1]

how do you keep your wheels from flopping around bec. i watched one of jetlags vids and he put KD 970 revolvers in his summit and had a problem that the wheels started to flop at higher speed and the mamba if much more powerful then any brushed motor setup

[mempey]

His were full of water.

[weasle319]

i have the e revo 1/10th scale and the kid i bought it from didnt tell me the brushless system he put in it wasnt waterproof oops yeah its fried now but i was looking at the mamba max 9000 and was wondering if the mamba set up is waterproof cuz i dont wanna b throwing that much money down the drain, you and jetlagg222 have awsome vids i like the custom colts body u made for him keep up the gr8 work

[mempey]

As far as I know the Traxxas ESCs are the only ones that are waterproof. None of the Castle ESC's are.

[timmms1]

What's the gearing your using

[mempey]

Stock

[nascarfanify]

how do u have a fully waterproof mamba monster wich one do u have did you waterproof it your self r did you buy a mamba monster all ready water proofed stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mempey]

I waterproofed it.

[kilgoja]

yes you're vids look awesome.. :)

[mempey]

Thank you!

[Joker051978]

great video, super quality!

current which cam do you use

[mempey]

Thanks! I use a Canon HG20, and a GoPro HD Hero

[TRTC360]

amazing video quality, great camera man, and great editing!! 5***** as usual mempey keep em coming you sure do give traxxas a good name!!

[mempey]

Thank you. I have just figured out how to get the quality a little better. So get ready for a little looking videos!

Yeah, Jetlag2222 and i should get a little royalties from Traxxas. lol

Not really, I just point the camera at it and have fun. Thanks!

[TRTC360]

ok i cant wait!!

[crzynmay1]

What size mamba motor are you running? The 2200 or 2650. What gearing are you using? Your Vid is the best Ive seen. Makes the Summit look like a real bad azz machine.

[mempey]

It is the 2200kv. I run the stock gearing. I love my Summit! It is bad azz. Glad you like my vidz.

[hasek1616]

do you hve any idea if an e revo body or a revo 3.3 body will fit on the slash without the nerf bars?

[mempey]

I don't know, let me check....

Ok, the stock E-Revo body fits but might be a little tricky on the rear mounts. I also tried a ProLine Slipstream body. I think it will work a little better.

It looks pretty wicked by the way. I am going to try it tomorrow, maybe make a video at some point. That is a cool idea man! I am going to steal it, but I will give you credit in a video if I do one.

[hasek1616]

thanks a bunch i got the idea cuz i need a body that will fit on a slash with talon tires and yeah make a video if u want it would be sweet

[hasek1616]

if you could also check the fit for your revo 3.3 body on ur slash please, thats all my hobby store has rite now

[Daniel160497]

Good Vid!!!

But don't have problem to put a mamba monter sistem in the summit, he still crawling?

[mempey]

A little cogging but it isn't bad. I was running it in this video on 4s. I like it a lot better.

[WuPmAsTeR]

Could you check out my new E-Revo vid? It's pretty sick.

[jazzmannola]

Your videos and tips has been enough strong to make me buy my Summit. I did it but I have to wait until it arrives!. And guess what. My next buy will be a E-Revo 1/10. Thank's for your time and share your hobbie.

[mempey]

You are welcome. You are going to love the Summit, and especially the E-Revo. Are you getting the Brushless Edition?

[jazzmannola]

Yes, that's the one I want. That will be in a few months. This is my first weekend with my Summit, and I'm going to use it for the first time with my youngest son. By the way, ther's a low shrill noice when the motor is working. Is that normal?

[mempey]

Yeah, that is normal. You will love the E-Revo BL edition as well as the summit. They are the same truck but perform totally differently. Both are awesome.

[444isthenumber]

I thought you had a white body for the summit... and led's on the roof...

[mempey]

I painted a snow camo body that has a light bar, this is the stock body that has the light bar on it. I also have an all black one. It will be in the next video.

[loud90]

Mempy, what software does slow-mo that runs on windows? Any reccomendations?

[DaddyMacProductions]

@loud90

windows movie maker

[mempey]

I use Adobe Priemere Pro, not cheap though.

[traxxasmaniac123]

how coe yer tires dont wobble at higher speeds? what is top speed?

[mempey]

They do wobble a little, I don't know the top speed.

[robertjdm]

Very nice video! 5*

[mempey]

Thanks!

[RaceBashCrash]

great vids glad i subscibed

[mempey]

Thanks, I'm glad you sub'd too.

[jmax5105]

awesome video mempey! I love watching the videos that you and Jetlagg post.... excellent quality and lots of COOL stuff!  Thanks!

[mempey]

No, thank you!

[marvo75]

Sweet video man!

[mempey]

Thanks!

[95666]

awesome vid! haha i swear @ 2:36 thats the 1st time ive ever seen a Summit jump. *****

[mempey]

Thanks man. That's what a Mamba will do for ya. lol

[hasek1616]

you should do a summit overview when you get all your hop ups put on it

[mempey]

I will get on it asap.

[hasek1616]

thx, i always like watching those type of vids

[TheDaverob123]

Damn dude, I'm real jealous of your summit.

Another 5 star vid and nice touch with the white zombie.=)

[mempey]

Thanks man! I love the Summit. Best of both worlds, crawling and speed.

I thought "More Human than Human" would be a fitting song. Glad you liked it.

[TheDaverob123]

Surely gonna need to get the MMM and that radio for my summit too, i say this onto you, Damn you for making it look so good that i gotta buy it now. But til then i'll just have to get speed from my jato =).

[900346472]

Nice! 5*

[mempey]

Thanks

[Traxxasman11]

can the mamba crawl as good as the titan 775, BTW Great vid 5/5

[mempey]

Pretty much. I need to mess with the settings on the ESC. I have a little cogging going on, I might be able to fix it. But it does great, I put the mamba in because I absolutely hate running nimh.

[iMakeRand0mVids]

Mempey, how is it 2.4GHz? Did you put in a diffirent receiver and transmitted? And is it stock or did you add the mamba monster parts. Nice suspension on the summit BTW. Good Video! 5/5

[mempey]

It is the Traxxas 2.4ghz system with a transmitter and receiver. i did add a mamba monster to it and run 4s in it.

[orangefit07]

Dude you got a mamba monster in that thing? Cool!

[mempey]

I have one in it! I said that in the video. lol

[philin2222]

another fantastic vid and another great place to drive :) nice job 5*

[mempey]

Thanks!

[FlyingRustler]

if you are going to crawl, then get a real crawler

[mempey]

Now that's not very nice. I don't get on your channel and diss your trucks. Show some respect please. If I wanted a so called real crawler, I would get one.

[FlyingRustler]

sorry. i'm kinda into rock crawling so my expectations are higher for crawlers. great video though 5*

[mempey]

No worries, I haven't really gotten fully into the whole crawling thing yet. I might at some point. I know the Summit is not the best crawler in the world, but it sure is a blast.

[FlyingRustler]

yeah for an all around, do any thing vehicle it is awesome. does it wheelie?

[chebbytruck]

nice, and the summit must be wicked to drive.

[mempey]

It is for sure.

[UTubeGlennAR]

Great cinematography work........

[mempey]

Thank you

[WuPmAsTeR]

Nice work! Great video!

[mempey]

Thanks man!

[jetlag2222]

Nice work brotha! Definintely 10/5! :) Love the SUMMIT with the mamba. looked like you had a bit of cogging in low gear though when crawling. You should put a sensored brushless system like the HV Pro from Novak on there. It doesn't have any cogging at low speed. But awesome video once again!

[mempey]

Thanks. I am going to play with the Castle Link settings a bit anyway. I have the throttle curve set really low. Yes it is probably cogging, but I need to adjust a few things.

[SmallDragon76]

Why didn't take the sensored Mamaba?

And be carefull with the DIffs on 6S. If the are locked the could blow to peaces realy quick ;-)

[mempey]

They are starting to make them, but not the mamba yet. I got some 2s packs just for the Summit, and I have my throttle curve way down. As well as a 10% punch. I basically set it to gradually take off in second gear so I don't destroy the drive train. Thanks for the heads up though.

[kabe628]

and what is the top speed of your summit?????

[mempey]

Don't know, haven't tried it on 6s, just 4s. I am not about to blow out 80 bucks worth of tires.

[swollenthrobber]

nice

[mempey]

Thanks

[SmallDragon76]

Like a said a new masterpiece is born.

Nice job done there, dude.

(5/5)

[mempey]

Thanks Dragon. Thanks for the stars.
