I was wondering, is there any Castle creation motor that is good to use with Mamba ESC on 1/10 touring car?

If not what is the best motor to get where we can use mamba ESC?

The generally accepted position is the Mamba controller really doesn't carry the amps to power a 1/10th scale - It lets the magic out too easily, if you're not extremely gentle with it. By extrememly I mean impractical :P

There is a member here that has/does run a Mamba in a lightweight B4 (I think is the vehicle), on 2s Lipo and a motor with about 4000kv. If the right setup is run, the Mamba can be used in 1/10, but for most purposes, as tog435 said, it isn't enough.

I tried the mamba ESC with a 540 size motor in a 1/18 scale car. Fried the ESC.
