E-Revo w/ Maxx Trans ESC Options...

[NullARC]

I just got a E-Revo roller with a E-Maxx transmission and I want to get it up and running. I was looking at the MM, but at 14.8v I think I would be pushing it. I would love a MMM but you can't find them in stock anywhere right now. Are there any other options that would be suitable for this application that are currently in stock somewhere? I'm looking for something in the $150 - $200 range. Any suggestions would be great!!

Thanks for your help!!

Are you planning to run 4s lipo? If yes, the MM will handle that. 12 cells has the same voltage (~16.8v "peaked" and 14.4v nominal). As long as you disable the built-in BEC and use an external one, you should be fine.

The Mamba Max with a CC BEC will work for a E-REVO or E-Maxx on 4S, but you are pushing the MM a little harder than it is really meant to go. I'm using that set up on my 3905 Maxx while Castle is fixing my MMM. Neu 1512 1Y geared 18/68 and the temps on the motor and ESC stayed in the 140s until one of the twin fans on the MM died. Temps jumped pretty quick on the MM and it thermalled on the drive back to my pit area. Yeah, modded case and dual fans (yuk) on the MM. Be patient and let CC fix the MMMs, then you can get an ESC that can rock a monster truck.
