Suicide_Star: Sounds like an awesome project, Suicide. Be sure to keep us posted; at least me. And yeah, it'll still scoot, even on just regular NiMH. These are pretty fast out of the box stock.
The ESC burnt so bad it actually caught fire. If you've ever handled a Mamba 25 you'd know how thick the plastic wrapping is. It took a lot of heat to make the FETs bubble that much and cause the wrapping to burn away that much..
It was cool but I was so ****ed (and worried) at the same time.
fieldfairy2: Thanks. Yeah, the Mamba Micro Pro was my plan for a replacement. Hopefully I can spot one on eBay or at an LHS for a reasonable price.
Cheers,
Kyle.
