MM Questions

[ADDICT]

Never owned a Mamba max before. I was thinking of going duel MMs w/ some 45T lathes, 2 cc becs and a couple 8711s. Can you run 4C Lipo on these escs? I notice the specs say up to 3C but im seeing 4C dual setups.

Thank You

As long as You disable the internal bec, mamba max will take 4S.

And I can do this with cc software correct? I hope this is acurate cause I didnt want to blow some dough on 3-4 4C packs. Thank you for the comment btw

No. Check out this thread about external BEC wiring:
Definitive wiring diagrams for BECs Rx Servos Motors etc.

On my rigs I just remove the red wire going from esc to receiver completely (so the internal bec isn't used at all) and plug everything to the receiver as normal.

Thank you. i know how to wire in the external becs but I didnt know if that would automaticly disingauge the internal one. Im still wanted to confirm that you can still run a 4C w/this ecs. Thx for that info btw

The mamba's internal bec will still operate if unplugged, but with no load on it, it won't cause overheating problems. I'd also advise a fan on the ESC if you intend to run 4 cell. Look over at RC monster, there's a lot of good info about 4 cells on mamba's there.
