I have an 18T with the Mamba 6800 and 2S lipo. I cannot figure out how people with 3S packs and/or the 8000 kv motor even drive them. This is so fast that it almost cannot be opened up, in any amount of space, even on the street. It will flip over backwards at 30MPH if you get on it. Pretty insane. And I have yet to break a apart (although they flex like rubber, so no wonder).
Here is a very short video. The sound is almost as good as the video. You can really hear it wind up.

He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

so i've ran about 10 charges through this thing already...
actually I personally have only ran about 4. i cant bust it out at work without somebody wanting to drive it. and i let them, and they whack it into just about every damn immovable object in the area until the battery starts to go, then i recharge it and sure enough by then somebody else wants to 'see' it.
this afternoon some carpet fibers got wrapped between the wheel and rear hub, so i go to take the wheel off. getting the little c clip off the axle was no problem, but it flew off trying to put it on. amazingly i found the tiny sucker and tried to put it on again, ever so gently. but the litte bastard flew off again...
i'm definitely getting threaded axles for it. losing one of those c clips and not having any spares really sucks.
if you dont have one, and have 60-70 bucks i highly recommend it. lotsa fun.

I bought one of these things last weekend.
Before I even ran it, during the first charge, I put in bearings.
Then I went back and got a 2 cell lipo pack.
Now it wheelies anywhere, anytime, any speed. A buddy and I were seeing who could drive around the room with the front tires in the air the most. Like squares or triangles. Cute little bugger!
It needs real shocks. The thing just kinda bounces around with the stock shocks.

just the lipo and nothing else? seems to me the jump to 7.2 would make these fast enough. whats the runtime like?Ron Jeremy wrote:I bought one of these things last weekend.

i got mine torn apart right now waiting on rear carriers and front c-hubs, i got some other parts as well. another guy at the office got one last week, we set up a sweet table top out of foam core in the hallway after work. the things are a blast.
they are indeed bouncy, i got some aft. springs but i doubt those will help actually dampen anything.

The stock 4 cell pack is 150 mah. The lipo is 220 mah. I only ran the old pack twice, so I don't have a good real world run time comparison. But, the run time is very good. Almost long enough to get bored with it.
For damping, I experimented with putting that old "grape jelly" Losi dif lube (JRX2, JRXT era) on the shock shafts. It did the trick, but is pretty inconsistent.
A few companies make real shocks for them now. I'll see if I can find them...

Here is one place:

Integy will likely have something soon as well, but I don't feel like browsing their chronically broken, terribly slow mess they call a website.
