E-Revo Dual Mambas

This has been my RC project as of late.  A Traxxas E-Revo with the following Hop-Ups:

• Dual Mamba Max ESCs
• Dual Mamba 5700KV Motors
• RPM A-Arms (Front)
• RPM Tru-Track Rear
• Spektrum DX3R Transmitter/Receiver
• Orange/Gold Springs on Progressive-2 Rockers
• Traxxas Sway Bar Kit
• HPI Phaltline Wheels/Tires (For On-Road)
• Proline Racing Crime Fighter Wheels/Tires (For Dirt Track Racing)

Installed and back together (Before I fried the stock Titans)

So at this point I fried my Titans after running them through water and getting debris in them. I was intending to simply replace them with another set of Titans until the Castle/Neu Combo was released, but I couldn’t even get a set of Titans anywhere soon as my LHS’s suppliers were all out. 

That’s where going with the Mamba Max twin idea come in. I already had a spare Mamba Max 5700 combo from another vehicle that I wasn’t using, and my LHS had one in stock. Two hours later and three of us working on the RC at the LHS, we had a working M-Twin. I can’t say it was the first however, because that morning the Hobby Shop owner had already put a pair of Sidewinder 4600 Combos in his E-Revo. (He likewise fried his motors on the third run)

I must say this thing flies. It’s easily as fast as a Nitro Revo now. (Which is exactly what I was going for) I’m using 12T pinions and I have the timing on the ESCs set to Lowest. I intend to experiment until I find a good Speed:Temp ratio.

I’m using a Castle BEC and a variant of the “Unslow Harness” I’ve connect the ESCs power directly together and I use a parallel Y-Harness to power both ESCs. It’s being powered by a pair of Venom 5000mah 7-Cell NiHMs, though I have MaxAmps 4700s as well.

The following are already installed and I will update here soon with pictures and information:

• RPM A-Arms & Tru-Track
• HPI Phaltline Wheels/Tires
• Proline Racing Crime Fighter Wheels/Tires

The following are planned upgrades:

• Castle Creations Mamba Monster Max Combo (Replacing Dual Mamba Max ESCs/Motors)
