I ran the car for 18 min straight in practice at a race pace and the speedo was 95 deg. and the motor was 145 deg. the highest temp of the day was 131 on the speedo and 165 on the motor. I could probably get 25min run on a 4s 6000.
Which motor did you end up going with?

Here is a pic from the race yesterday it makes two weeks in a row (my first two races on the car) that I qualified 2nd and ended up with the win in the A main. I also have the fastest lap on the track.

I still have a little cogging.
Can you guys that run a Mamba in a 1/8th scale post your speed control set ups?

I think the 8B and the 8T, I would but the 8T's are still too expensive.

Most likely someone will, but only if you win.

I have used one of dan's kits to convert a 8T and it looks nice. I am waiting for my 4S 8000mah battery to show up. The motor I got may not be fast enough, I am not sure what it is other than a nemisis XL motor.
