Hey guys,
I finally broke down yesterday and bought the Mamba Compeition X package with an RC18 12-teeth pinion. I installed a heatsink on the motor and ESC and have these questions:
1. How hot is too hot for the ESC and motor? I was running it in my house (without the body) and after about 5 minutes of running it not too hard it was around 150° for both the ESC and motor
2. When I come to start off from a dead standstill the car hesitates and I can hear the ESC doing something. Sounds like maybe the current protection is kicking in? I have to start off very slowly, but once it gets going there is no problem. I am running the Mamba with all the default settings.
Thanks
P.S. Here are some pics
