sounds like there a problem with the mamba more than anything after reading your link. does it register if you try and hook it up to your PC? where in carrollton are you btw? I live up in Allen! Check out the TX section

Take it to T&T tomorrow between 12 and 4. Talk to Joe. He will get you set right.
NE corner of Ave K and Parker road just 1 block East of US 75. Take the Parker road exit.

oh i was trying to say that the stock system won't turn on, but i didn't give it another try. is it normal for a battery to go from 8.60v to 7.5v and up to 7.8v its very unstable

While you're at it see if your brushless system is waterproof.

Buy some deans solder and acid flux from radio shack. You will also need battery bars. Dab some flux on the solder and that will make it stick better. Make sure you have a good soldering iron too. Also buy a battery jig, It will make building side by sides much easier too and you can get them for about $10.
