Don't think the Mamba will fit in Swiftkids X5 to be honest, I would like to try one sometime to see what they feel like, same as Tekin. In my mind I can't see how they could be any better than a sensored system and you do read of people having issues (more issues) with cogging. |
Dan,
If your ever down my neck of the woods you can try mine. Its roughly the size of the original Mtronicks ESC well slightly smaller in length and a lot slimmer, if you remember it was that green brick that I blew up just before the basildon worlds warm ups at the newport club, when it was being run by Sandra. I do agree, its almost like having a Tekin 410K in my car, as it is similar.
I havent had any problems with it and the accelaration is rapid and so is the top end, and you can gear the hell out of it and it still keeps pulling. The heat sink can get ridiculously hot but Castle say in their emails to me that they can get a lot hotter but wont ruin the performance. I havent tried in a shaft 4wd but in my belt car its a tight fit. Mind you the capacitors are all built in so no capacitors needed to be stuck on your chassis anywhere.
I also prefer the settings as you can have as many as you want in the race, so you are not set to three or four settings supplied by the manufaturer. I can like the Tekin 410K set the esc to be rapid for ten seconds then mellow the power for two mins and raise it gradually until the end of the heat where I can go up to full power or whatever suits you, even tho you wont do this the options are there, but thats why I opted for it. I came close to buying the Novak tho.
