I was going to say that it wouldn't be that great an idea as if you want more punch..hook the Mamba to your PC and change the punch settings...Easy Skeezy...

OK first impression,

I took it to my local littl eparking lot track for some pratice for their two day race today and tomorrow...Track was very dusty but managable..
I first tried the 4700 out and set the timing to high, just to get a feel of how fast this motor can be..I willsay that without a doubt that this setting is so much better than a good 19T...So I go back in and set the timing to normal, set a little drag brake to make it feel more like a brushed...went back out..
Now were are talking about a good 19T...Silly rip.....And top speed to boot.

So as of right now I dialed out some of the drag brake...I went a little happy with the settings..LOL
I will let you all know how things pan out today at the race...
I am running against open mod guys but the track is super tight and technical..
Last time I raced there I raced againt the other BL system and a guy with a 19T and I was using a stock motor and came in third....if only I was smoother I would have taken them...LOL
So far I am very impressed with the Mamba Max in a Touring Car...
and I thank you JOE at customer service for letting me know how to run the Mamba MAx in a 4 cell car....Very excited to try it in that car as well........

Shookie, i felt that 30% drag was pretty close to a brushed motor..give it a go.

Also, don't be afriad to gear the mamba, it would be better to gear it then to jack up the timing, i though it stayed smoother this way.

I am using the mamba max 7770 in a JRX-S but I am having glitching on the steering servo when I let go of the throttle. I noticed that the left pulley is almost touching the can of the motor. Could this be the cause of the problem with the steering servo. When I remove the pinion there is no glitching.

I am using a 27 pinion with the 128 spur gear. Is anybody else using a mamba with a jrx-s?

Thanks,

Ronald

My LHS told me with the 7700, you may need to buy a capacitor for your receiver and make sure the rest of your equipment (batteries, connectors, etc.) are top notch. The 7700 tends to draw a lot of current and sometimes will draw enough to drop the voltage which your receiver doesn't like to see. Spektrum sells a capacitor that you can plug into your receiver which has solved this problem with the 7700.

I ended up buying a 5700 because the owner of my LHS is a Tamiya fan and he didn't want to see my Evo IV end up getting wrecked because the setup was too fast. If I want to go faster, all I need to do is add some cells or get a 3S lipo.

The 7700 does draw a lot of power, so yes a cap on the reciver will probbaly help with glitching, try that and also make sure there is no contact between wires and the chasis.

I have not had any problem in my jrxs

Thanks for the replies. I will see if I can find a capacitor for my receiver.

rcracingkid can you tell me if your motor is almost touching the left pulley and which pinion are you using in your jrx-s.

Thanks again.

If memory serves i ran a 28 pinion and it is close, but didn't touch

mooony

Thanks. Will try with a 28 tonight.

mamba max ESC is it possible to run sensored brushless motor like novak?

AETC5

Yes, you can use a sensored motor with the Mamba Maxx

No at this time you can not run a sensored motor on the Mamba Max. This is a software upgrade being worked on and should be available shortly.

I ran my 5700 Mamba Max this weekend in a T2'007. I had serious problems with the ESC losing sync/position. This occurred both after slowing down or coasting and then hitting the throttle, as well as from a stop. I tried various pinion/spur mesh tightnesses.

Has this happened to anyone? I'm close to calling Castle and then sending it back for warranty. It is not race-able like this.

Wires are factory length, connectors haven't been touched (factory installed).

Sounds like you are having power issues. Either using a higher quality battery pack or adding a capacitor to your receiver should fix your problem.
