Please note that while the Mamba Monster X 8s is capable of handling incredible
amounts of power, your motor must also be up for the task. Always run your
motor within the manufacturer’s specs. Monitor motor, battery, and controller
temps carefully and never let the motor get above 100° C (212° F). Excessive heat
in the motor can damage the motor, the Mamba Monster X 8s, and the batteries.

Always start with stock gearing. If you wish to change the gearing, motor, or
battery, check your motor temperature frequently on the first run. If the motor
gets too hot, increase the spur size, or reduce the pinion size or the pack voltage.
