RE: That Buggy Is On Fire!!!!!!
No it wasnt a lipo fire for those that were saying thats the danger of lipos. it was the esc that went up in flames. not sure why but it could have been a short some where or just faulty electronics

RE: Brushless Truggy pictures and discussion
Here are some updated pictures i put the mamba max back in my buggy and bought another mamba monster so far this one is lasting it has 2 race weekends on it so far. i checked out rcmonster mikes rc8t this weekend as he showed up the race we had this weekend. i let him wheel my truggy and he said it handles awesome. I run the fan on the motor just to keep it even cooler then it would run without it. normally i pull it off the track and its at 160 but i ran a 10 minute b main this weekend and bumped into the A main and ran 15 minutes and after the a main my motor temps were 123.
