    How do you think the 1717 1580kv mamba will not be too strong?
    How do I get max speed on the 6s?

    hummm

    well 24/54 is 52.44 mph, but a Spur/Pinion Reduction Ratio of 2.25:1 way off from 3.0 you want to try to stay close too..
    Would you go flip my truck back over??

    I used the color silver to the air intake

    87 GN
    Now I use 18/58 2200kv motor on 4s and the speed is about 40mph
    you write will use 6s mamba 1717 in it with 21/54 max speed will only 52mph? It's a bit poorly as he reach 70-80mph?

    ummm..

    well I used the speed chart & 24/54... 2/3s...1580kv motor is 52.44 mph at 3.7v, fully charged at 4.20 will get you about another 5 mph..

    the 1580kv is not really made for speed, now a 2650kv will give you some speed

    i guess we all experience high speed crashes, except i got away with mine at one time. i smack mine at the rear end of my park car CRX and looking at it underneath it looks very ugly but when i move my car, there is'nt much damage to it but my ESC case was crack.

    Nothing puts the value of your rig into perspective quite like seeing it tumbling on pavement. Or coming to a sudden stop. I have been there too many times, they are only parts and luckily they can be replaced. I am sure there are some upgrades you have been holding off on, no better time to improve on your truck.

    You only need a 10 amp bec, 20 is just overkill and harder to mount it. I borrowed my friend's spare for his helicopter and it's just too big. The 10 amp is plenty of power.
