BicketyBam's Kraton EXB

What servo did you end up going with?

I still have the Savox in there.

I had two different ones made up so I can run either a single 6S or dual 3S packs. I really don't like the loops so I went this route.

Seeing as everyone is saying the MMX8 battery leads are too short for the Kraton layout, I will be putting 8mm bullets on the ESC like my Infraction then making an extension with 8mm bullets to XT90 for the battery hopefully less resistance that way..
I hate adaptors ? Castle should have made the wires longer..?

At the very least, you are using 8mm Bullets.
8mm bullets will handle 200 amps each pair.
FWIW.

Did you ever get the heat issue figured out? Any other updates to share?

I saw in your latest video you had a nice dual fan that looked like it tucked into the side skirt or something.. where did you get that from? I looked through your threads and couldn’t find a write up on it .

The piece of crap that comes with the Mamba Monster X ?

The piece of crap that comes with the Mamba Monster X ?

Didn't realize it came with a fan that had an alloy frame. Still sucks?

Oh man, I'm sorry. I just got done doing maintenance on my Typhon and that had the MMX and the crap fan. I got confuzzled ?

That's a fan that I got from eBay that @Jimbobjr recommended. It's awesome! I'll find a link and post.

Does anyone have any pics of how they extended the MMX8 battery leads? I’m running into the same issue with mine.

It looks a lot like the Surpass Rocket fans I have...

Thanks for the info! Do you have an image/images of what the finished product looks like?

 

[Malice]

I don't think so. The 8 screws might do the trick. I'm going to see how it holds up. And I'll do my best not to roof land or lawn dart. That's what really stresses the tray.

On another note, I had to order a servo. I initially grabbed the Savox 1210SG from my V3 Kraton but I had a hard time fitting it in. And I know it will be too tall for the mount. So I ordered up one of those $30 Amazon servos. It will be here on Saturday.

And one last note for @robert@castle. The battery leads on all your ESC's are ridiculously short but we can squeak by for most of them. But the 8S ESC really needs leads longer than this. This is a friggin' joke. Come on. It's a no brainer. Are they trying to save money with the shorter wires? ?

I had the same thoughts with both of mine.

Minimal kanooter efficiency loss here...

Your wiring job is VERY nice and clean. Strong work!
