What motor will you be running?

i run the mmp w/ no bec. i do have a capacitor plugged into the receiver. i run a savox 1258 servo also. no problems so far. i do have some cogging issues, but i'm running a non sensored motor. the mmp i have does not like non sensored 4 pole motors. runs sensored just fine though.
i also have the earlier version of the lt4 esc with the hobbywing software. i was running it to begin with, but had a wire come unsoldered, so i switched to the mmp until i could get it resoldered. had no issues w/ the brushless hobbies 120amp esc either.

I'm running the MMPro in mine with a 3300 Pro4 on 3s, no issues. I don't run an external BEC or a glitch buster and my servo is a Hitec 7955. I run the MMP's bec at 7v. The only "negative" I've found is that the MMP cannot deliver the same amount of power to the motor as the RX8 can. I put negative in parenthesis because most people are using the RX8's current limiter anyway, so it's kind of even. I like to say the MMP has a non-adjustable current limiter :)
I also run a MMP in my EB48 with a Trackstar 2100 kv motor on 4s, all other electronics are the same and it works fine.

well, I cant really say I love the MMP. it is a good price for a 6s esc and the software is pretty cool. But mine liked to cog in sensored mode and never felt right. If you plan to run 2s, I would look at the orion r10 pro 2-3s 160 amp esc or the viper vtx. Another cost effect esc that people seem to like is the nobbywing s ct pro which is like $89 from HWNA. Since you will be getting your tekin back eventually, I would get the HW sct pro as a bandaid and if you really like it you can sell your tekin.

I've been using an MMP and a HW motor from day one without any problems. I also use the MMP and a Tekin 2050kv motor in my eb48. Runs fine, smooth. To save cash if you don't already have an MMP go to Ebay and look up scte rtr. It has Losi stickers on it but it's just a rebadged MMP. You get these $20 to $30 cheaper than if it has Castle stickers on it, go figure. I use the Castle link to turn up the voltage so I haven't had any issues with brown outs with my Savox 1256 servos, that's what I run in most of my rigs including e-truggy.
Just a note here about motors, I normally run either Castle or Tekin motors. I kept hearing from a lot of guys on this forum that I trust raving about the HobbyWing motors so I took out a Tekin 4600 and replaced it with a HW 4700. I couldn't be happier, plenty of smooth power and runs cool and I get great run times. Don't get me wrong I like Tekin products but I also love saving money.

For me, the sct410 was too heavy for the MMP running on 2s with a pro4 4000. The amp rating was a bit low. I swapped it for an rx8 and could feel more low end. It'd be fine if you went to higher voltage though i bet. The MMP might be ok with a 550 can though.. haven't tried that.

I've run a mmp in my scte and sct410. It's a great esc with tons of adjustabilty, just make sure you get an external bec. Now that some of you have mentioned it, i'm wondering if the lack of power with my hobbywing 4000Kv is due to the esc. Ever since the day i got it, it has always felt pretty plain and gutless on power. It really shows how weak the motor is when i get on our local 8th scale track. I've tried gearing it differently (15, 16, 19t pinions), and it just seems to lack a lot of power. I don't know if it's due to the mmp or if it's my season-old nanotec packs. I'm at a loss and pretty much ready to sell the motor. (yes this post may have very-well killed my chances of selling it) My punch control is all the way down (most punch) and i'm running "smartsense" (switches to sensorless once you get going). Long story short i'm stuck with 3 choices and I only have enough cash for one.
Here they are: 1. Sell 4000Kv and get the 4700Kv 2. Sell mmp and get a hobbywing sct-pro 3. Buy a couple smc race formula packs Which would you choose? P.s. I'll be running my backup tenshock 4600Kv motor this weekend to see if i can eliminate one of the variables. |
1 and 3.

I run the Hw 4000kv with a HW Sct Pro in a SCT410 on a med sized outdoor 1/8 scale track. I don't seem to be down on power to anyone. There is so much low end torque that I have the punch turned down to minimum.
My guess is the motor is not your problem. I used to run a Tenshock sc411 4600 and the Hw is close on power but runs a ton cooler. |
Are those SMC packs a good battery? Has anyone had issues with them? Im thinking about buying a few of them. I dont want them to puff like the proteck one did. They have earned the nickname puff tech at my local track

Started my build and I'm having issue's installing my camber links onto the turnbuckles, with the notch facing to the right which way to you turn the links to latch onto the turnbuckles? Thanks

What are you'r guys thought on the Mamba Max pro esc with the Tekno? Ie feel,heat,longevity etc... Thanks- |
Finally got to run the SCT410 today and it was awesome! Box stock running Barry Bakers setup. I had run times of 19 minutes with my 2c 6000 mah batteries. Temps with a 16 pinion were 140-150 after each run.
RX8 Esc with a Tekin 4.5T sensored motor. Moved the rear hubs forward all the way and it really helped in my cornering (rolling over trying to carry speed through tight corners). Only issue was that I sheered off my right rear stub axel after going over a small triple. Not a hard landing and I did not get hit by anyone, wheel just flew off...... I was a lot disappointed after that (and it ended my day at practice). Another SCT410 owner also said he sheered off the same stub axel and had to order the replacement parts. May be something for Tekno to look at. |
They are aware of the axle issue. Send them a pic and you will get a new axle

I never found the end of the stub, but I definitely have a picture of the axle and the carrier. http://i.imgur.com/ZxB6vo7l.jpg |
there was a post a while back. i believe it was their support and include your shipping address

PS: Your really going to like this truck :nod: Smitty |
Yeah, turnbuckle marks indicate left thread side on everything I've had. Mark goes on the left of the vehicle.
Also a little chapstick on the threads make it adjust easier. Ilan, see you at Westcoast with your tekno soon? :sneaky::tire: |
