Brushless Minizilla

[9VDXN]

Thanks for the options of ESC...but i think I'd very much prefer Castle Creation's Mamba leh...very comfortable with CC's reliability.


As for the speed, did you change the pinion to give it a try? Mine i put to the lower gear for more power instead of speed.....MT is suppose to have power....not speed anyways...


And for the onboard measurement, I am using the Watt's Up meter....

So you got the MiniZilla. I say go for the Mamba ESC. I like it. The braking power quite good and it's an ease to configure/callibrate. But I really need to get a PCM RX for it. Then I can use my 3PK and get rid of all the glitching at 10m plus away. Very dangerous. Wait smash your car.

I ran the Mini-T again but not on fully charged battries. Lasted me about 15 mins but I didn't WOT most of the time. The road in front of my house is too narrow. I crashed about 3 times but the Mini-T survived. Already on 6 cells it's very hard to control I dunno how 2 lipos are going to be. This is my warning, trash your car at your own risk if you want to get the Mamba 6800. Maybe a lower rating would be better eg. the Mamba 5400. Anyway, hope to take it bashing this Sunday at TP.

The BL esc are pretty prone to interference....i know it's a bit difficult coz the MiniT is small...but normally for our planes' installation, we move the ESC & motor away from the rx unit....

6Cells is 7.2v...2cell lipo is 7.4...so should be about the same in terms of total KV, but when using lipo, you might be able to have more power coz the lipos are capable to deliver more current than the small NiMH batts.

I think your Mamba 6800 is a bit too high for your MiniT lar....gear it down properly, otherwise better dun go into lipo yet. It'll kill your cells too fast if your setup is not properly configured.

I going to get one today. The kit. Some questions:

1. Where to get it cheapest?
2. Which ESC (if tuning for speed) to get?
3. Which servo to get?
4. AA rechargeables or batt pack? Which? (no Lipo, pls)
5. Which motor to get (for upgrade)?
6. I got Tx, so which Rx to get?
7. Anything else to make it better? Bearings? Shocks?

Thank you so much!
