well, i hooked up my mamba 7700 in my cyclone today and i'm not too impressed. too twitchy steering and some kind of torque steer ( like in a shaft drive) and absolutely zero brakesn it just spins around. i'm sure i've just got some setup issues to work out. but i cant figure out why i would have shaft like torque steer? anyone have any ideas or any recommendations on a high speed brushless setup for asphalt?
I throw my mm 5700 in for at home fun, and my car is just as hooked up as it is at the track... So something is set up wrong

its pretty much set up by the book from what i can tell. i bought it used from dodgeguy on this forum. the only thing i have changed is to get the brushless motor mount and gear it 110/25. running swaybars on front and back. silver springs in back and gold up front . dont really know what info you need.
any help is appreciated and im sorry to bug you guys with all the newbie questions.

That's what I thought too... and was thinking it might be 19T to get a 2.052 transmission ratio.
For those that PM'd me...
2.0 transmission: 36/18
the belts are very very loose at the moment... looking for front/rear belts that are 1 tooth less than stock.
for now this is what I'm using:
(2) sets of 3Racing red belt tension cams
(2) sets of 3Racing 18T pulleys
(1) rear belt tensioner
(2) Pro3 36T diff pulleys... one of them you'll need to ream out to fit the one-way or spool.
able to get to a 4.6fdr using a 106/46 5cell for 10.5bl.
2.1666 transmission: 39/18
(1) Yok BD rear belt 189mm 63T
(1) Mi3 front belt 510mm 171T
(2) sets of 3Racing red belt tension cams
(2) sets of 3Racing 18T pulleys
the yok rear belt is a perfect fit.. waiting on the Mi3 belt to arrive. and I'll confirm fit. with the stock front belt..it's way way too Tight!! don't try it!
if you do order the 18T 3racing pulleys..make sure you also order some replacement pulleys... they are made for the TAO5..but fit the cyclone mounts and come 2ea.. 16/17/18T

Ramon, If I asked you would you solder black wire's onto my sphere tc? I can solder, But its more on and off with the wire right into the speedo lol
And frying a 200 doller speedo would SUCK
....Its a fast task isnt it?And 2nd, Well for anyone, If the sphere tc is sitting so the wires (motor and batt wires) are facing the batery, how far does it hang off the chassis?
