Looks great, what is it ?
I really like the wheels , who makes them , and are they still available ?
Hi my name is Mike and I'm a Chromaholic, my wheels have been chrome free for over a year, thanks to everyone that made fun of them.

The older I get , the faster I was.

Thanks everybody...

Shocks are Duratrax, as are the wheels...but Ive spent a a few months tracking down all four wheels. The chassis is a ________? Weve talked abaout it here before, but I dont remember which one it was. Its quite a hodge podge of parts.

I havent had it out yet as its snow covered here, but I am having some cogging issues with the mamba max right now. I think I may have damaged the motor in another car.

It's a composite craft for sprint conversions. Anybody want a brand new one? I opened the bag , and then decided to go for e the tube frame instead.

First off you can try a few things. Take the motor wires and braid them, that's right, braid them together as this will help with reducing noise that can add to these issues. Have you upgraded the firmware for your MM esc? If not, I highly suggest doing this as the new firmware is targeted at this problem, a few other cool things have been added as well. The link to the new firmware upgrade: http://www.castlecreations.com/downloads.html

I upgraded all my MM esc's plus my sidewinder and they now run just as good if not better than my Novak system's in regard to smooth throttle response. Another added benefit of this new firmware upgrade is a cooler running system!
