My Mamba-25 18th scale system seems like it has turbo lag where it takes awhile to get going, then takes off. Why is that?
The most common cause of lag, or lack of initial torque, with a Mamba-25 is inadequate batteries and/or inadequate connectors or too small a wire on the battery pack. For a brief period when starting up, the Mamba motor will want to draw almost 100 amps! Resistance from the original connectors, or low discharge performance battery packs will not be able to supply the current for “better than stock” performance. We recommend Deans Ultra plugs between the battery and the ESC, and 16 gauge wire from the battery packs (same size as on the controller). The best NiMH cells on the market are IB1200s, IB1400s, and GP1100s, regardless of pack manufacturer. There are a lot of 1100-1400mah cells out there that vary widely in capability, but the IB (Intellect Battery) and GP (Gold Peak) cells are by far the best. Right now, Lipo packs also vary widely in discharge ability. Give us a call if you’d like specific lipo pack recommendations for your system and vehicle.
