An idiot and a Mamba Micro Pro

[pixelnate]

I am putting together an MRC Pro for the first time. Among the parts I have secured, I bought a Losi insane motor a while back and I just bought a Mamba Micro Pro. Like a bonehead, I didn't read the specs closely enough and now I have two parts that wont work together. So I need an opinion on which to keep, the motor or the ESC? Are there any decent brushless motors for the MRC? Or if I return the ESC what is a good one for the MRC + Insane motor? A Sidewinder Micro?

Please help this idiot figure out what to do. Thanks.

It will work just fine I had that same setup for a whole season.

You'll need a castle link to switch the esc to brushed mode.

Really? I could have sworn I had read that it did brushed motors, but the 5 mins i looked at the manual before dinner made it seem like it was only brushless. And the 3 connectors freaked me out. I guess i jumped the gun. Glad it'll work.

Nothing more to see here.

Nothing to worry about, that's the same setup I had in my mini, like the other guy said you need a castle link to change the esc settings. I would try a 12 t pinion and stock spur first, anything over 12 the insane gets pretty hot, I used to run a 14 at times ANd I could smell the motor if I got bound up, lol
