wait what?

brushless power "snappy" you have never drivin a Mamba Max Pro with a novak balistic motor have you.

tunable sensors, smoothest system available. not "snappy" at all unless you want it to be.

you need to be smooth on the trigger with electrics you cant be "blip" happy it takes a toll on fets and batteries, thats where all the problem arises from electric


you cant just plug and play an 1/8th system, it takes some tuning just like a nitro. not only set up..
but you have to keep the gearing in range as to not over heat the motor (just like keeping your motor in that "sweet" spot on the tune not to hot not to cold)

you have to choose the right motor for your application as well.
(nothing to big or small. (just like any nitro engine)

picking batteries is just like picking a pipe.

you need get the ones that will exceed your needs that way you have head room for problems that arise.
