Well, we all know i want the biggest, baddest motors I can afford in my RCs. Its never fast enough. So in the spirit of that concept I've taken advantage of Castles 5 Day Black sale. Picked up a Mamba Max Monster 2200kv setup for $240 shipped..... ....And installed it into my 10th scale OFNA Hyper 10TT. Oh Dear. Here's a comparison shot between the old Castle 1410 motor and the Castle 1515 motor I installed. So far I've only run it on 3S lipo, which means with the 2200kv rating the maximum motor RPM was 24420rpm. Its setup right now with the largest pinion I have, a 18t. 18/42 is the gearing and honestly the system didn't even notice it was running, the motor was never more than a degree above room temp couldn't feel any heat off the setup. Power was quick, with insane acceleration. Wanna clear the triple? Pin it for a second and you'll end up clearing the triple and landing in the next lane. Probably tops out in the 30-35mph range based on the motor's operationgal RPM on 3S lipo. Going to 4, 5, or 6S lipo would rapidly change that. I already have a 22t pinion on the way for some high speed antics. In reality on 6S lipo with tall enough gearing this thing could probably approach 100mph, don't know if I could ever keep it on the ground for that though.

Well, had a chance to radar it on 3S and 4S today. 3S topped out at 46mph. On 4S that speed jumped to 65mph. Can't wait to try it on 6S lipo. Mwahahahahahaha. If it can push it on the current gearing I expect a top speed in the mid 90s. Probably 92-93mph. And a little over 100mph with a 20t or 22t pinion.
