mamba max reverse rotation?

[jocktheglide165]

can you reverse the rotaton on a mamba maxx? I would like to put it in my tamiya semi.

Swap any two motor wires and it will run in reverse just fine.

oh really theres 3 wires I thought coming from the motor am I wrong? anyways would you suggest for a semi tractor since they have 3 flavors :)

Any two of those three wires should flip the rotation. I'd suggest a 4600 for a semi (on 3s if you want to go a little crazy). That should be plenty, but not gearbox shredding overkill. The tamiya semis have 3 speeds, don't they? :eek:

ET,
yeah they are 3 speed gear box setup I probably just run on high LOL....I figure I was thinking 5700 with just a stanard 4300mah nimh pack.

a massive aerodynamic silhouette...

As aerodynamic as a brick...yes.:D

"High gear" in that thing is a stump puller too! Wooo! definitely go with the 5700 then.....or even the 7700. "Middle gear" should be torquey enough for either system without problems too I would guess. "Low gear" looks fun for nasty speed runs.:D

[jocktheglide165]

gonna get the 5700.....
ET,
I guess I could always gear down with the 7700 heh....so getting the 7700 might be a decent idea then if gearing down is possible.

i just bought the 7700 from towerhobbies for 183 shipped.....whoa...cant wait to put this thing in my truck.

[TheSteve]

7700? I would think the 4600 can break the trucks transmission.

DOH :) :p hope it works...if not im still the fastest semi yet...

I think over at RC-monster someone put a brushless or a low turn mod motor in a tamiya 3-speed Semi also. Had some videos of it too. It was ridiculously fast! I think the tranny held up fine too...(at least for the videos I saw...?).

Alas...jock will find out the hard way....:D Post pics and vids jock! :eek:

I've stripped a gear in my tranny every time I ran the 5700 in my B3. But I've had better luck with it in my TC4 :)

Out of curiosity, how did you get it to go down to 183? It's at 213 right now so you'd need a 30$ off coupon (I only see a 25$ off as the current offer) as well as some sort of free shipping coupon (but usually they don't like you using 2 coupons at the same time :( )

if your interested you can PM me for a code or do a serch on here some members are towerhhobbie club members and get special discounts codes not available to the mass public, but if you know it still works. I get free shipping also anything over 150.

Not broken anything yet in my Rustler with the 5700...(I cheat though, the drivetrain is all aluminum/steel now...:D)
