Jimmy, I just read the body review - Great stuff, as always.

But a section is written twice :
Since I was using Vecro to secure the shell I didn't need to drill any unsightly holes in the shell. The shell and undertray make a great seal around the chassis - keeping out the worst of conditions.
The air vents can of course be opened up at any time to get some cooling, but since it was cold at the time of writing this I left them as-is.

The mamba max is awesome, I took my laptop to tune it in at batley one club evening. Its sooooo fast. I ended turning the punch down alot as well as top speed, then changing up a pinion on the B4. after that, it was a lot more drivable.

Cant wait to try fit it in my X10

It's pretty big, but I think it should fit in the X10 - probably have to put a plate on the servo and have the ESC in the drivers cockpit if you know what I mean

yeah, worryingly enough I do hehe.
Can i ask, my Mamba Max has a yellow band around the ESC, your's is black, is that cos its newer / updated? Mine was pretty much one of the first models I think.

Mark Christopher might know more about that -but I don't know of any changes unless there is just newer software (which you'd be able to download anyway). Perhaps it's just a cosmetic thing

Yeah, probably.

Looking forward to the oOple review.
