Well got to run my MLST for the first time in 2 weeks last night!!!
Met up with big-kid and shot a little bit of video of the Dual Hyperion 6k's in action!!!
For this run I set the punch control on the mamba esc to 50% to be on the safe side.
I tried running the slipper gear a little looser, but this setup just has to much torque!
So I ended up running it about a half turn out from locked.
The truck still had enough power to plant the rear end down on launches from both a standstill and rolling start!
With the stock gearing I would guess the speed in the mid 30's range? And this is with the timing set at low as well.
We than changed to punch control to 20%. This allowed the truck to lift the front wheels about 2 inches off the ground from a standstill!
Most impressive is that the truck lasted the whole night of around 20 or more high speed passes!
After taking the truck apart to boil the diff pinion gears the gears showed no signs of wear! And the boiled gears will be even better!
I had originally thought that running a slightly looser slipper would help take some strain off of the diff pinion gears, but with a torquey brushless motor it will just slip to much with anything beyond a turn our from locked!
I think if you are running a mamba esc it would be a good idea to set the punch control between 20%-50% to have less power sent to the drivetrain off the start. And that although it will take away the kewl wheelies it will should allow your truck to survive a little longer!hehehe
Remember though that this is based off my Dual Hyperion 6k's with stock gearing, so you will want to play around with the punch control settings for your particular motor and gearing?
