not everyone has the luxury of running on a small carpet track,, and even thse that do... they are still burning up their mongooses.. like i said before.. any motor system that has to be geared that high and then you have to cut out the chassis to allow for better ventilation cause the thing gets tooooo hot.. then it wasnt meant to be..
i did a thrid party test with novak,, and i did bring this to their attention. tested the 13.5 and the 8.5,, and when i couldnt get the 8.5 to run past 3 minutes .. i gave up.. and i had it geared at 12/49.. the speed at that point was very disappinting.. so i didnt even bother trying to get the 13.5 to work without shutting down..
like notfastenuff stated.. he watched 2 of them go up in smoke... and the guys in the UK were having the same problem.....
the mongoose iis not the end all be all of systems... does it work,, yes..... is it smooth.. yes.... is it effeicient enough to work in my application or others that run on 10th scale tracks... no!!!
they do have national races for 18th scalers on 10th scale tracks.... not every 18th scale race is held on a 18th scale track,,, so testing should be done to the absolute extreme to know what the system can and can not do...
like i said before.. i have a friend that has the 10.5 in his,, he runs on a 10th scale track as i do.. and he is disappointed in the power and speed.. says he wish he had more.. i let him drive mine and he noticed immediately that the neu system had way more power and speed.. the 1105/1.5y isnt the only motor that NEU makes.. there is a 2y and 2.5y ,, and any of those motors can suit any application of tracks that are out there..
run what works..
this was my point long ago when i teasted the 8000kv mamba in my vendetta and switched over to a larger more poweful motor.. if the system is getting hot.. and you are geared to the top.. then it doesnt belong..
