I have the mamba 25 w an integy 65t in my sons ax-10. I just installed it yesterday and so far no problems. After running hard for about 10 minutes I measured the temp of the esc and it was 90 degress and the ambient temp was 75....
I used the castle link to program it and I may tweak some settings....The crawler doesnt have a fast top speed like his previous esc (LRP AI Runner) It goes about walking speed now.....

I have been runnin a M25 for a year now. no real probs works good. sometimes though when i am bound up and trying to work my way out i will over amp it and it shuts down. then it pops back on. Meh goin to upgrade to a sidewinder one of these days.

Thanks for the input, i think i'll give it a try. i think that the sidewinder can handle a touch more abuse than the m25, at least thats what c.c. said. i was told to keep the temps under 130.

how much faster was your other esc? (with the same motor i assume)
