E-Revo Mamba Monster Max First 6s LiPo Run

This video starts out kinda tame as I was just trying to get a handle on things. As it progresses you will see more speed runs, wheelies, and stuff like that.

The setup is an E-Revo with 2x 3s 4000mAH LiPos (6s total). The ESC is Castle Mamba Monster Max and the motor is the 2200KV "castle-neu" motor.

Runtime on grass was roughly 6-7 minutes. Speed, measured by a radar gun, 42mph (and probably faster in reality). End-of-run Temps, battery 100F, motor and ESC both between 120-130F.

Are EZRun Brushless Motors good from hobbypartz? And how fast would it be if I put 2 3S Lipos 5000mAh in my E Revo?

[AccessAccess]

One of the better cheap knockoffs, but the big problem is efficiency; that's why Castle partnered with Steve Neu to make their 1/8th scale and up motors. There's rarely any shortage of torque and performance for the cheaper motors (as long as they still have a sintered rotor -- most modern motors do), but heat can be a serious problem because the rotor will typically fail around 200F. >60mph on street or >45mph off-road and your runtime might be limited not by battery but motor heat.

@AccessAccess I've heard that the setup stays cool because of the fans, but would you recommend this combo?

[AccessAccess]

Well if I were to make something like this today, I'd go with an even larger motor like the castle 1717 (if it fits -- check first) or one of the larger 15-size motors if you can still find them. That way maybe the fans wouldn't be as necessary b'cos a fan is one more thing to break.

whats the gearing your using? have you had anything go "bad" or break because of the 6s lipo and gearing your using? any upgrades? any recommended upgrades? I want to get 6s lipo for my car and am worrying if it;s worth it.

[AccessAccess]

I've had arms break and I've replaced them with better third-party ones they have at most hobby shops (forgot the name but it's pretty well known). I'm also using very low gearing b'cos of the grass. It tops out just a little over 40mph.

Dude only 6-7 minutes. I thought they were supposed to run like 20-30 mins. on some good lipos.

[eaglesdood16]

dat cos him mo money dan u got if u type lik dis

[ngnaw]

or not even on a track anywhere!

[ngnaw]

My HPI Vorza seems faster and more stable than the E-Revo! I'd beat it in a race on a track!

[monnyg1]

can some you explain all this electric stuff to me im confused about every thing

[wherzmyapple]

mine run about 1 hour and 30 min.....i have x-cell 3s 5500 and 35c ah and they are lipo-plus idk what that means

[hotcamps]

how long will it take to charge the battery? nice vid...

PD i want one!!!

[xxgg]

only 6~7min? something is wrong with yours.

On my Savage Flux HP with 5000mah setup... i get near 30 minutes.

With ESC set to cut off Lipo @ 3.3v

btw... e-revo and savage flux have same motor/esc.
