Nice Conversion, Very Neat and Tidy !
I especially like the idea of the cooling holes in the Mamba ESC.

[entjoles]

thanks

i still have work to do on it
waiting on the MMM
i cant take credit for the battery holder , as i bought this as a roller on ebay

Nice clean conversion.

How are your temps and run times w/ this set up?

[entjoles]

so far i have only ran it once for 5 min., and every thing was at 85-90*f

i have geared up , but have yet to run it

with the 4s set-up and 5000 mah it should be aroung 15-20 min (i hope)

I already have a Mamba Maxx, DX3, Hitec 5595TG servo, so it doesn't sound that bad!:eek:

check out rc-monster.com

there is every thing you need

what are you wanting to build?

[dezfan@yahoo.com]

RC8, X-Ray, or a Jammin. Whatever I can find a good deal on!

[entjoles]

changed the layout a little , made a center diff plate to mount everything and make disassembly easy, still need a ubec, and i will be trimming the wires to the appropriate length

i used a rc-monster neu motor plate adapter as a spacer and then cut off some of it to clear the brake disk and pads, in these pics it is geared 13/48

i also got a custom spacer from rc-monster to get the same effect when using a diff. style motor(w/o heatsink clamp on motor)

Looks great, have you drivin it yet since the new addition ?
What turn XL is installed ?

[entjoles]

i did drive it before i had the spacer plate , the mech. brakes felt very good
but not since i put it back together


the blue motor is a 9xl and the purple is a 9L which is in there to see how it runs and what kind of temps i will have with a smaller motor

[Bondonutz]

I (had) a 10L in a Emaxx useing 4s and it locked up ? ESC,lipo were ambient temp and motor was super heated ? Hope you have better luck with the smaller mill.

[entjoles]

it will most likely run hot, but i plan on doing some easy bashing and checking temps often, if it gets hot quick , its back to the xl
