am wondering what you guys would recommend..?

i am using a 55T integy brushed motor with 2S 2000 li-po's

this is the first time i have used my mamba max in anything other than a boat, so i am of course wholly ignorant on setting up brakes, etc..

any help would be appreciated..

thanks!

Here is what I am running with close to the same setup. I run a 1900mah lipo. Shouldn't make any differance.

Forward to Brake to Reverse
Brake Amount: 0% doesn't matter w/reverse on
Reverse Amount: 100%
Punch Control: 0%
Drag Brake:100% but you will only be getting 40% drag brake with a brushed motor.
Start Power: High
Motor Timing: Normal to Low helps motor longevity/keeps motor cool
Throttle & Brake curves: try stock! I have started adjsting mine and playing with it.
Battery: Lipo cutoff auto

I Noticed The "punch Control" Setting..what The Hell Is That All About..?

same setting on my integy55t with mamba max.... 3S lipo 1320

This link helps explain it better than I can!

Good luck with the settings!

Throttle Curve? Mamba Max?

birdie_in_texas · 10-29-2007, 01:50 PM

ah....i see..i was thinking just like he was..it should be called "expo" not "punch"..! i am gonna call joe ford at Castle and yell! hahahah

i have to deal with the foams and tires problem first, then i can continue on my trek to perfect setting on the MM..

thanks for that link!

now to start searching to find a "dummies guide to cutting foams" hopefully with some pictures for my dumb ass..!

JohnRobHolmes · 10-29-2007, 02:00 PM

expo and punch are different items. Punch control actually deadens your finger input a bit, making the ramp up of throttle take longer.

I would add in 100% braking. If you go downhill and hit reverse you could flip or lose control. With 100% brakes it will wait until the wheels stop before reversing. It also saves battery power to use brakes instead of reverse throttle to slow down.

great ! i will do it sir! thanks!

Hey Birdie, if you find the dummies guide to cutting foams, let me know. I need some help as well. I am running same setup as you, all I have left to build are the tires. Anybody out there want to give us some ideas???

birdie_in_texas · 10-29-2007, 03:55 PM

there is about 10000 references to cutting foams...i am still weeding thru them to figure out what the hell to do, at least the easy way so i won't kill any more foams..

i am afraid that i have destroyed these.. :(

I have my motor timing set on high with 2cell 4000 lipo and ran it for 45min without it hardly getting warm. Just my experience not debating.
