Just opened up the diff again and discovered that I may have tightened the diff too much! :eek: The diff plates are pitted in the groove, which probably made it feel gritty.

And for those not using CVDs, check for wear damage on your rear susp arms caused by the wheel hub.

I think I might have to limit the travel of the rear shocks and put one of those spacers inside. That should hopefully keep the dogbones in as well.

Saw this from the Castle Creations Mamba Max tuning website here

How fast will it actually go?

We are working on a speed chart, to show actual measured top speeds with 6 cells, 2s and 3s lipo packs in a variety of vehicles with “normal” or very conservative gearing. We have a confirmed measured speed of 62.4mph with a touring car on 3s lipo and the 5700 motor from one of our beta testers. From our best estimates, very near 60mph should be easily attainable in touring cars, as well as 2wd buggies and stadium trucks with the 5700 motor and 3s lipos.
On 6 cells:
4600 motor ~ 25mph
5700 motor ~ 35mph
7700 motor ~ 45mph
On 2s lipo:
4600 motor ~ 30mph
5700 motor ~ 40mph
7700 motor ~ 50mph
On 3s lipo:
4600 motor ~ 45mph
5700 motor ~ 60mph

Look for software updates with more tuning aids to totally dial in your Mamba Max for any driving situation being constantly added to our website, as well as additions to this tuning guide as we gather more user tips and experiences to pass along!

Now go pull the trigger and light em up!
