I LOVE the mamba max pro esc, but ever since I got the 1410 I have been nothing but dissapointed. According to people this thing is supposed to be pretty fast on 2s. Top speed was around 38mph geared for speed and lower torque than the vxl motor from traxxas would have at that speed. I even had castle send me a new one.
I have watched 98% of jangs videos he has made about rc, but it is hard when you cant be subscribed to him because he thinks you are a psychopath.
This thread would be almost a page long now on urc but so far it is just you and me. I honestly dont care if the motor is name brand or not, just the esc.
I had the vxl in my rustler when I had it. I still have the motor, but the esc went crazy and one day my friend was helping me and he was too lazy to take the motor out to change a part that you needed to take the motor out for, and he put a huge dent in it. Ever since then it hasnt worked right. Traxxas support sucks! I was UNDER WARRANTY on my esc and motor (though the motor was actually my/my friends fault). They wanted $60 to replace the esc even though it was well within warranty. The best part is about three weeks later my friends esc did the same thing. His dad decided to pay the $60 against his sons advice not to. Well, three months later they got an update from traxxas saying they were going to send him back an xl5 brushed esc. So it was another $60 to get it to a vxl. If ANYTHING happens to my traxxas esc or motor in my merv, I am making a video of destroying it somehow, it is not worth the crap and cost to go through traxxas support.
That being said, does anyone here have a tenshock motor in a 2wd sc? Or does everyone here have tekin, traxxas, or castle?
Wow I never realized traxxas support was that bad mainly because my LHS doesn't follow the pack they'll deal with your warrantied stuff if you bought it from them ( MY LHS IS AWESOME ) about a week after I bought my merv something happened to my servo idk what it was it just stopped the servo then killed my Rx they replaced it for FREE so if your LHS isn't like that steer clear of traxxas I think that a blitz would be a beast with a Mamba and a tenshock
PS I'm sure a Blitz 4X4 in the works and yeah this Site does not have as much traffic as URC EDIT ask around the track I'm sure people will tell you what motor they're running and if they like it or not then add everything up and get the most popular racing motor simple as that PPS Why does Jang think you're a psychopath? LOL
