I agree.
I have been racing for over 30yrs. I went with Mamba because Tekin and Novaks do not hold up as well. Most people in my area have MM systems because of that. Out of that I have seen one Mamba smoke and one Tekin smoke. Other ppl said the Novaks are real bad. When you consider Mambas out number Tekin 10 to one I would say Mamba has less problems. I have had mine for over 8 mos. only problem I had was fan stopped working. I have 10 batteries I run the hell out of it in practice. I opened it and the fan wires were cut through from the constant rubbing. This happened after 3mos. I kept using it with no fan. I could have fixed it but sent it back last month because it was under warranty. One week later they sent me back a new one. True it is not real smooth at low speed but 98% of the time you dont run slow when racing.
