Funny thing is I just checked our survey results and the guy said he ran it like 4.5 hrs on a bunch of different batteries. So he is either lying to us or lying on ebay.

Ah well, we decided that since the first run of MMP will start shipping this week, we shouldn't worry about this.

So let them sell their MMPros, we're not going to worry about it.

They will be removed from the Beta list though.

Guess that means you figured out who the sellers are. Anyways on to more important things. The first run is shipping this week. :) Maybe I will be able to get in a race with my hyper 9 before the outdoor season ends.

Are the beta models even warrantable?

Yes, they are.

How do I update my beta tester's file :lol:. Those 2 that are selling the MMPro have no ethics at all.

I think Beta testing should be exclusive to RC-M memebers.... :whistle:

Patrick, what motors are you guys going to be pairing with the MMP? I need a 17.5t to run in the stock motor class.

I was thinking the same thing!:great:

:yes:

I agree 100%..
phil

But then all I will get is intelligent, well thought-out feedback.

We need some dummies for testing too! :lol:

What so they can gear for 80mph on 3s lipo in a savage and wonder why it blew up..


It saves money, less dead esc's :)

Patrick you have a pm

Yeah, I guess the "dummies" would put the biggest stress on stuff (overgearing, etc.)

The CC site has these in stock now?

I will have to buy one of these ESC's

Looks nice! I want to see how the timing advance works out in it

Any idea of a timeframe or cost factor on this?

Thanks.

Timeframe will be after they get the large orders to distributors out.

Cost will be at 1/2 retail value. So 70 bucks and a MM gets you an MMP.

I called and asked.

Wonder if they'll have some type of refurb program with all the MM's they'll be getting back from trade-ins, kind of like the MMM refurb program.

Thanks for the input BB.

That's not bad at all. I'll take two! They're small! :lol:

thats what she said?:lol:


Im thinking about picking up a few

Has anyone else noticed this thread has almost 18,000 views!!!!


:surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

I wonder if beta testers can talk openly about various observations now? :whistle:

I humbly submit myself:intello:

I can keel anything:whistle::oops:
:wink:

One question...actually two.
 

Does the new MM Pro make the Monster Maxx obsolete? My GTP II is nearing completion and the intent is to run 2200 on 5-6 cells. And I actually have another question...what 1/10 anything can handle 6s lipo power and remain drivable?

More like the MM Pro making the MM obsolete, similar price and size with much more capability.

No, the Mamba Pro is intended for 1/10th and 1/8th buggies only -- it handles about 2/3 the power of the monster.

how much power can the Mamba Pro handle compared to the MM?

Patrick, since the MMPro is ready to release, is it ok for me to post a mini-review here from the beta testing?

http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...a_max_pro.html

I think there was mention of the MM Pro handling 80A continuous @ 6s, so just shy of 1,800 watts is what I'm assuming. That's 1,800 watts reliably and constantly, I have no doubt that it can handle 80A+ without a hitch.

lol. I would think so, but I guess the big guy must clear it first. Even though I also did the same thing, I am still interested in reading your write up cause I am sure its much more scientific then mine.

Please do Brian, I'd like to see what you think. I am eyeing up one of these for my 1/8 buggy next year, I liked my Mamba Monsters, and preferred the Castle Link to the Hotwire, so would quite like to go back from an RX8 to a MMP.

Yes, since the first set are shipping today, you can openly talk about your experiences with the MMP.

Thanx!

Sweet, so beta testers are getting ours shipped today????

The MMP is sweet! I only tried it up to 3s, but I did overgear the snot out of a Tekin 17.5 in both a T4 and SC10. My motor got very hot, but the controller was bearly warm. Never got the fan to turn on. I also tried running the sensored 17.5 with no sensor cable on 3s....surprisingly smooth.

I had slight cogging with the LRP motors in sensorless mode. No cogging with the orion motors.

Mine was great when run in sensored mode. I had to take the fan off to run it in my rb5 buggy but it ran cool. I really liked that you could adjust the bec voltage. Came in handy when I moved the esc over to my sc10 because I was still running the stock servo.

No problems when running with the high turn brushless motors (17.5,13.5,10.5) were cogging can be a problem. The cheat feature also come in very handy cause in these spec class I really am looking to get all the power possible.

Only problem I had was after the testing I put it in my 8th scale. On 6s the bec would overheat before the pack would dump. Shouldn't be a problem now since they have updated the bec unit.

Should be great for light weight buggy setups. Only things I didn't like were that you cant really replace the wires and you really need the PC to setup. For the price I think its a great deal though.

I think this will probably end up going in the new traxxas 4x4 slash.

These are what I ran. Amps were peak if I remember correctly. It's been a while.

Hacker C50 Maxx 14.4 110.90A
Hacker C50 6L 148.88A
LRP X10 4star 120.78A
LRP X11 3.5T 107A
LRP X12 3T 99.32A
Orion 2.5T Forgot to log it.
Tekno Neu 1515 1.5D 138.88A
With the 2.5T motor there was more cogging then the mamba max.(Mamba Max has 4 additional caps installed though)

Mine has run with a novak 17.5, novak 13.5, novak 10.5, lrp and tekin 9.5's. Then in my 8th scale with a losi 1300kv. The esc will either end up in my hyper 9e with the tekin 1400kv motor on 6s or in the new traxxas 4x4 slash with a 3s setup.

well i had a orion 13.5 motor band new and was being dumb and ran it on 4s in my sc10 , i was going as fast as my buddys losi 8e ( MMM 2200KV) and smoked the motor ! unsoldered it self , by time i took it out of the truck the motor was at 267 , but the speedo was cool as can be . love the MMP

With the MM Pro capable of handling these kind of figures ampwise, would it be suitable in an E maxx on 6s?

Geared for 35-40mph. Geared conservatively with let's say a 1500kv 4 pole motor?

I love it's features! :yes: I want one badly.

The small footprint and size of this esc opens up new setup options.
