Getting mamba monster 2

[Gunamonkey]

Can somebody post pics of how they wired it in series just tryin to get an idea of how to do it. Thanks

[ajcar]

. sorry its on my e-revo. but same concept. all 10 guage wire.

[Gunamonkey]

Anybody else do it a different way ?

That's only way

I plan on getting the MM2 for my roller here that I just got. I see that in the pic you just wired it straight up in a series. Can you also just have it so that it just has a regular connection to the esc and then from there just get a parallel and or series connecter depending on your usage? Because that way you can at least choose between a series and parallel depending on how you wanna run. I did this with my mini revo when I had it. When I wanted to run longer I would hook it in a parallel and when I felt like going all out I would run it in a series.

I guess it depends on the type of bats you have, I suppose if you got two 5000 mah bats then series would be good, as the capacity of one bat is probably good enough. but I bet theirs a lot of other factors to.

Also were did you get that temp thing on your motor and is there any good heat sinks that you can put on the motor for added security?

I haven't tried it with my EMBE but there's no reason why it wouldn't work. I'd recommend using the proper gauge wire vs. using the pre-made harnesses for a mini E-Revo (16 gauge wire).

Castle has 10 gauge Serial and Parallel harnesses w/Deans.

Another option would be to make your own with your preferred connectors.

i have my esc wired in single to a traxxas connector then when i want to run series of 4s i hook up a series connector i made from the 1/16 mini revo but i used 10g wires i soldered on not needed with that gauge but since castle has 10g on the esc seems like the right thing to do then is use 10g but 12g should be good enough. If you look at my thread near the top you can see some pics i posted of the series connector i made out of 10g wires.

You could put a single connector on the ESC and make yourself a series or parallel connector as mentioned by GaiginRC.

I have a single connector on my MM2 for my Rally and made a series connector so I have the option of running a single battery or 2 batteries in series.

I got a question for you guys. I was reading along the spec for the MM2 and It says that the motor has a max input voltage of 25.2 volts. I plan on eventually running two 4s lipos in a series. If I did that that would be a combined voltage of about 29.6 volts. Does this mean I cant do this? but it says that the esc can support up to 6s, it doesn't say anything about the wiring configuration or am I just confused here or way misunderstood.

racetemp.com is were the temp guage came from.

The max you can runs is 6s, meaning as a single 6s lipo or two 3s, it won't run with two 4s in series, if you run them in parallel yes, but it will be too much weight.

[Trials912]

Oh, not even if you wired them in a parallel? I understand if its in a series it would double the voltage but what about if you did parallel. Wouldn't that just mean that the voltage is equal to 1 battery(like 14.8) but the capacity is double if your running two 4s in a parallel?

I said if you run them in parallel will be ok, but the truck will weight a ton with two 4s lipos.

How well does running a single 3s do? or running 2 in a parrallel? or do most people just run two 3s in a series but get a larger size bat, like a 4000-5000 mah?

[mike-susieq1]

i run a 2s single once in awhile for crawling but mostly its 2-2s in series for me and i wont do 3s in series too many parts broken like that. 3s would be a little slower than 4s would be but if you have wired your esc in a single connector not series then its easier to just run a parallel connector or series connector but if its wired in series then you have to cap off 1 connector (think its the non BEC side???)to be able to run a single,parallel lipo setup still needing a parallel connector as well and it has to be atleast 12g wired better 10g since its going to be double the available amps.
