Thank goodness for this, as many might not be familiar with RC motorcycle, I bought the 5300kv motor/esc. I will be putting this in my rc motorcycle with the castle system and the bike with 3s lipo everything would weigh 1 pound even. The castle motor is rated for max weight of vehicles at 2:25 pound. I can’t weight thanks for the video
I just ordered a teton and a sidewinder castle esc combo 5300kv and installation was fairly easy. I'm new to rc and even I found it to be pretty self explanatory. Mounting the motor is a bit tricky and looked like it wasn't going to work at first because of where the screw holes are and the new motor seemed thinner but there are two holes that make it possible with Light modification. The sidewinder came with two small screws for the new motor that you will have to use. I removed the detachable plate on the Tetons motor mount to allow for the screw to catch the motor. Hope this helps someone out! ;)
Have you done anything to the differential? I’ve had a mamba micro on mine for about 3 years now but never saw this video. I just quit trying because I couldn’t stop blowing out the differentials. I even did the RC18 diff build on this thread you can find.
Diff fix; get a fiber washer from home depot that goes between the bearing and the shaft cup gear next to the ring gear of the diff. Some cutting and shaving down of the washer is needed till it fits not too tight. It will push the ring gear closer to the pinion of the diff, because stock there is too much play between them. I have been running it that way for a year now and haven't broken any diff's. Also running all steel hot racing cvd's and a steel spur with a 380 dynamite tazer 25t motor(14/60 gearing) on 2s lipo.
does anyone know the difference between the mamba monster and the sidewinder? im trying to decide what to switch into my dromida. this mamba looks fast but how does it compare to the sidewinder? iv never owned a castle before so i dont know
+hybridmx5 What changes to the Center Driveshaft do I have to make in order to use the Ball Diffs? It would seem to me that I will have to use the RC18T driveshaft and Spur Gear in order to use their Pinion and Ring Gear of the of the Ball diffs or do the Teton's Pinion Gear hook up with the Ball diffs' Ring Gear? Let me know, please. T'anks!
You don't have to make any changes to the center drive shaft. You will still use the stock pinion for the center but the ring and diffs will be aftermarket. Your questions will most likely be answered in the first two pages here. traxxas.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?109-1-18-Teton
Paul Martinez hey i have the same allu drive shafts but i run the 4100kv motor. I dont know if you set the punchcontrol to 100%. But i change that setting and it run perfect. No wheelies easy on the wheels and drivetrain.
Lars Ekengren Official yes you do it on the esc. It depends on what brand esc you use. Castle via castle link of a programmcard of via app with the bluetooth link.
+Dor Shitrit Yes it is waterproof. I probably got several hundreds in upgraded parts besides the motor/ESC. Not worth the money if you ask me. Minimum upgrades for this motor will be about $100 which will be the driveshafts and diffs.
+hybridmx5 I did the same exact thing to my Teton, except for the ball diffs, which will be next on my agenda. I agree. Some upgrades aren't worth the money, but I do enjoy doing it a lot to my R/C's.
Thank god for this video. I wanted to see what it's gonna be like running on this setup before I upgrade.

I'm thinking about doing exactly that; are you using stock powertrain parts or did you need to upgrade?
I need help
Hardcore Crashtest..thank you now i know how stable my truck is!! ;)
Time for some touring car wheels for a speed run. Less gyro effect

S2000 FTW
No one ever gives me exactly the 3s lipo they use, unless I'm just blind. The battery is so small I'm afraid of getting the wrong one
Did you upgrade the diffs at all. Shim them?
No wheelie bar for that truck?
Go on. Perfect Car
does anyone know the difference between the mamba monster and the sidewinder? im trying to decide what to switch into my dromida. this mamba looks fast but how does it compare to the sidewinder? iv never owned a castle before so i dont know
Captain Awesome The mamba let's you use higher voltage batteries like 4,5,and 6S. sidewinder see allows up to 3S.
so better off to spend a couple extra bucks and get the mamba then. thanks man much appreciated.
The mamba is 3s lipo max for 1/18 scale so thats not the difference
From what i can find the mamba is waterproof and the sidewinder isnt

Thank you very much. That helps me a lot. Have a good day or night.
I think you spent more time flipping then driving 😂

that's awesome
what drive shafts are you running? I keep bending latrax blue aluminum ones. I have same motor and esc as you but traxxas 3s 1400mah 25c battery.
Hot Racing Steel drive shafts. Part # SLTN28806 www.hot-racing.com/index.cgi?partnumber=SLTN28806;c=942

@@sjakjoosten5499 Help a newbie out... When you set the punch etc, you do that on the esc, right? But how do you do that? Need some sort of hardware?
Lars Ekengren Official yes you do it on the esc. It depends on what brand esc you use. Castle via castle link of a programmcard of via app with the bluetooth link.
Do you have a video of how you put the motor in or what mods you did
No video on the install but you can go here for some pics and descriptions. traxxas.com/forums/showthread.php?9056282-BLKDRGN-s-Mamba-3S-Teton
nice!
Did the mamba motor fit perfectly in the latex Teton cause I want to upgrade mine to a mamba micro.and where did you get the wheelie bar
I had to trim the motor mount a little. The wheelie bar is from T-Bone Racing.
How many screw for lock motor to motor mount 1 or 2?
What wheelie bar is that?
Damn look at that little latrax go 😂 I think it's to fast.
Is it waterproof and how much does it cost to make
+Dor Shitrit Yes it is waterproof. I probably got several hundreds in upgraded parts besides the motor/ESC. Not worth the money if you ask me. Minimum upgrades for this motor will be about $100 which will be the driveshafts and diffs.

i got an SST around the same time as this video was uploaded. Where were you able to find the MIP ball diffs?
Tower Hobbies have the Hot Racing titanium in stock now. I picked up 4 of them. Search for TAET80
Noooo wayyyyyyyyyy you seriously ...... omg broo whatttttt
would this moto fit on a 1/16 slash?
I'm not sure. You should check out the Traxxas forum for the answer. traxxas.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?71-1-16-Scale-E-Revo-VXL-amp-Slash-VXL-4WD
+hybridmx5 thanks!
