pti goliath

Ok guys, I just bought a modified Goliath on ebay. Its got a tamiya teu 101bk esc and and integy 65t motor and a gear reduction of some kind. Here is my plans: I have a mamba monster esc i wanna use, but what kind of motor should i put behind it? Also the steering servo is shot, any suggestions for a high torque servo under $50? Another thing is i wanna make it 4ws, which looks simple because both axles have steering knuckles but the back is locked with a linkage on both sides, if i get two servos can i get a "Y" adapter and run them both from the steering port on my receiver? Any help is appreciated

i would put a motor with much power in it as you will be hard pressed to find any parts for it and they arent known for high strength

bump.... anyone?? is anyone running a mamba monster setup?

[meadowstj]

help!

you can use a mamba monster esc but not the motor that comes with it. for a motor look for a brushed in the 35t and up range and for a servo under 50 look at either the hitec 5645mg or for under 20 i like the towerpro 946r on hobbypartz.com or look into savox servos

ok thanks! i dont have the mamba motor, just the esc. 35t-55t ok?

[meadowstj]

seems nobody is trying the mamba monster?

[benoj]

most people dont as its way overkill for our uses as the castle sidewinder,mamba max, or mamba max pro works just as good in crawler applications. if you have a castle link to set it to crawler reverse and brushed reversing it will work perfectly fine

[meadowstj]

I do actually, thats why i thought it would work great, with a strong drag break, and all the flexibility of castlelink....

too much esc?
