What ESC's are you guys running? Anyone try the Mamba 25 with these small brushed motors? Just wondering if it will work good with a smaller motor...

Losi6821 · 01-18-2009, 07:27 PM

Im usen a Tekin Mini Rage with a the brushless motor setup.

Love it havent had any issues.. and it was an easy setup...

racerx · 01-18-2009, 07:32 PM

What brushless motor you running?

dezslash · 01-18-2009, 08:24 PM

I'm running the Mamba 25 with a Hyperion outrunner brushless. Really easy to program with castle link. Ran in for about a week with the stock motor it does take some testing and tuning to get set up with a brushed motor. Biggest advantage over the stock esc is a lipo cut off. Check out my thread has the model number of the motor there.

I am running a Mamba 25 with a mini HH Tourqe Master and a TP 2c 1320 lipo. ESC was very easy to set up with the Castle Link and as dezslash mentioned it has the built in lipo cut off. Havent had any problems

racerx · 01-19-2009, 10:53 AM

I have used the Mamba in other rigs (all brushless) and Kris tried it with a 55t motor and hated it... No drag brake at all. I was hoping it worked good with the smaller motors the MRC uses. How is that drag brake with the HH mini torque monster?? This is the combo I may be using.....

binaryterror · 01-19-2009, 10:58 AM

I'm using a Tekin B1R.

The Tekin FXr and B1R are tiny and best of all...their drag brake is awesome.

Khador12 · 01-19-2009, 11:01 AM

I run the Tekin FXR in mine and love it. The drag brake works!

If I was to go brushless I would go with the Tekin RS and the Novak 18.5 380 when it comes out.

GixxerGeoff · 01-19-2009, 11:03 AM

Tekin FXR here as well. HH Mini torque master and 3s. Easy to setup, killer drag brake, and hella wheel speed.

This may be a problem with all Castle ESC's - weak drag brake. I have the regular Sidewinder in my MRC with stock motor and the drag brake is very weak (it's adjusted to 100% in the settings). It slows it down on an incline but it's nowhere near the full drag brake of the stock ESC.
I'm thinking of buying a Tekin just for this reason - I hate not having the drag brake.

Strange, I have been running a Castle Mamba Max in my 2.2 and a Mamba Micro pro in my 1.9 and both have great drag brake. They creep down inclines. I did however get a chance to see Novak's 1.9 brushless system at a comp this weekend and it looked and preformed very well.

racerx · 01-19-2009, 12:31 PM

Yeah, I am waiting to see some reviews on the Novak too... I liked the power of the OG crawler brushless system in my rock racer but the drag brake BLEW! I would have never used it in a comp rig.

no problem with the drag brake on my set up. I actually have the drag set at 80% and that works for me.

mamba micro pro here,HH mini also

X2 - Mine is on order but I did a lot of research. That and I love my Max in my 2.2. Brand loyalty I guess. I just love the drag bg=rakes on the Max. This new (for me)mini combo with a 645/BES and a 1320 mah 2s should prove to be a damn good setup.

WarTrader · 01-21-2009, 01:07 PM

I'm using a mamba micro pro, HH, and thunder power 1320 2s lipo pack. My drag break is set at 80%, and it works fantastic.

The dragbreak did seem a little weak with the stock motor. But using the link I adjusted it up to 90% and boom the performance was just as good as stock.

I'm really happy with my set up.

biggin69 · 01-21-2009, 06:40 PM

I run a Tekin FXR in all of my rigs...

rex cars · 01-21-2009, 06:55 PM

mamba25 w/ stock brushed motor. I have the drag brake set at 100% and it doesn't seem as strong as the stock esc.
