Well i pulled the esc out of my buggy because i wanted to get a testrun in on my 1/7th scale lightning street.

castle neu 2650
mamba monster
18/44
13/43 diffs







so i take it out and get some good passes and its hauling i would roll into it till full throttle and it was flying down the street. it would start to skate around as i hit full throttle... well i got into it to hard and the front end unloaded and so did my tire it ripped itself into pieces.



so i went to the tire bag and grabbed a bald set of buggy tires i had and threw them on well they fared a little better but they're now trash




so all in all it was fun and hopefully ill have some video next time.


btw motor temps never got over 110 esc i got the fan to turn on temped at 155 and the battery was 110 that was after a good 10 minutes of running

Hmm...older thread i know.

But what batteries were you using with that? 4/5/6s? capacity? I'm cleaning up nearly all of my RC cars because I want to sell them off and consolidate to two brushless vehicles.

Right now I can't decide between my jammin truggy, or the jammin buggy as the offroad vehicle of choice. Both are tanks able to shrug off the abuse I put them through. Buggy handles better, and can double as an "on" road car with a simple tire change and ride height adjustment. But the truggy jumps way better.

The on-road is ofcourse going to be my Hyper 1/7 evolution. With as long as the chassis is I could probably use a plane pack to keep the CG low.

Damn, that thing scoots!
