| Mamba Max 1 Cell question
Hello all, I have a question, I have a Mamba Max 1 Cell ESC and was crawling on Sunday and all of a sudden I had no throttle, ESC as far as the lights are concerned shows it's arming but no beeps or throttle. Motor is a cheap Traxxas Titan 21 turn, the no arming beeps are what is concerning me. Any advice? |

First guess is the brush arms are toast in the motor. Since you need the connection through both brushes to the arm to: 1-Make the motor turn 2-Make the "chimes" I think the motor is toast. Try disconnecting 1 ESC to motor lead, then connect a known good battery to the motor directly, I think you will find the motor is still dead. |

OK, didn't think the motor would effect the chiming on the ESC, I have a old motor that I will throw in tonight and see if that was the issue. I have ran maybe 10 packs through that Titan, damn those motors suck...

Those motors are notorious for burning out after a few packs. 10 packs is pretty good for a cheap, non-rebuildable motor. | |

I see in your sig that you have a Losi NC or CC, both will eat up the Titan motor in a hurry. The best motor to use is a 17.5 brushless sensored one. I ran one of those when I had mine for about a year without any problem. Last edited by AreCee; 08-22-2012 at 03:01 PM. |

| Re: Mamba Max 1 Cell question This is my buddies Losi he is a month into crawling, my Losi has a 17 turn Ballistic. He is on a major budget, looks like I'm donating 90 bucks to his rig to get him a real motor.

Can I be your buddy? Just check out the for sale section, you can usually get those motors for around $50 | |

No need to get vulgar here, there are kids that look at this website and they don't need to see words like that. I would expect more from a Mod... | |
