actually i just came across this post a few min ago and read the entire thing. i still didn't see a release date. this is the first "sighting" of the MMM and it is nice to see Patrick stopping in, but still no exact release date.

YES!!!
anyway to get put on a mailing list for this presale? if you have this done already, i havent found out how. please let me know of a way. :surprised:

lol...sounds perfect ......my B-day is April 30th

Actually he was referring to the "other" MMM thread lol... but there isn't a real release date there either other than the first post.

Hello all. I've been lurking for a while but I had to get my first post in on this one. Very exciting to see a preview. If the esc switch turns out to be the same size as the one on the MM then it looks like it's dimensions are only slightly larger than the MM.

Can't wait to try it out! I don't mind the fan as long as it is a standard size so it will be easy to replace.

True.

I can see some case-mods happening already.

Let's hope it's not the same switch as the MM... that one tends to crap out if you look at it wrong.

I don't think it's the same switch because it looks different physically, but the mounting plate could be same dimensions.

wow so how do I solder wires to those conectors?

Those are sockets for 6.5mm plugs; just plug em in!

da! ya I knew that thanks.

Nice to see you hear Patrick! Pre-sale special you say? :party:

My dragster needs the MMM badly. I don't mind the wires being soldered onto the ESC either. Heck, I'll take one right now with a heatshrink as a casing.

:rules: nice, as most others on here I will be looking for the pre-sale.

Any chance you can set you "font" to smaller?

Hmph, font envy, are you compensating for something with your "big" brushless setups Linc?

Time to update this page:
http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...nster_max.html

Do you know whether you will be one of the companies driving on the track at RCX showing their products?

I'm sure they will be updating that page soon enough.

Wow, 57 posts and I was just here a day or two ago....

Welcome Patrik, I'm still waiting on my e-mail notice from Joe. I'm sure it will be forthcoming.... MMM looks great. I've got two rigs waiting on them, Hyper7 and a UltraLX comp.

Time frame on the package deal (don't wanna have to buy a motor that cost's what the combo does if I don't need to)?

Hopefully the first run can have the plugs and not be hardwired.

I really like what I see, only thing I don't like and its probably nothing is the power switch. I wish it was integrated into the case so you just push a button and go. But no biggy, thats very minor.

Love the color!

****hijack****:oh:

Everytime I see one of your posts I feel compelled to squish the ant/bug thing!!:surprised:

Sweet, I'm so ready for this!:yipi:

Looks like I'm going to need a better soldering gun to solder 10 ga wire. :yes: I can't wait for this beast to be available.

Lol totally... wtf is that on my monitor!! *smack!!*

Interesting, wounder if castle will offer certain "stock winds" with the mmm or just as a seperate part number. That way any major distruibutor will be able to get them, just through castle. That way my lhs can stock them! And I can "test" them for the lhs!

Answers.
 

Well that sure answers a lot of questions that have been flying arond here for the last few months:yipi:. Sounds like some one has been doing their homework and this is going to be a very good deal for us:yes:. All the hype seems to be coming out just like they thought it might:yes:. CC is going to be doing a lot of business the rest of the year. Way to go Patrick and Huray for us.:party: Now when can we order??????

GOD! this is crazy. I cant recall the last time I was ever this happy or anxious to get sometihing RC related. I cant freaking wait and this is definately great news to have castle as the main Distributor of Nue's powerplants because Now I can order them through my hobby shop with no problems. Great thinking Castle!

Now if Castle can come up with their own version of the Dean's plug to handle the HV

AWESOME! I need a HV Muggy, I will buy atleast one MMM!

GET THEM OUT ALREADY!

or more importantly the HA and 10ga wire.

Personally.
 

Personally I prefer the Traxxas HV plugs better due to their shape and size they are much easier to connect and disconnect:yes:. As for the excitement I think everyone is feeling it now. This is a product three years in the making and from what we have seen so far it looks to be the ultimate ESC for Monster truck junkies, and should prove to be a good controller for other applications as well:yipi:. Within a few days CC will be flooded with orders to get this long awaited pheonom out the door and into our vehicles:whistle:. You should be excited, and hopefully the product will be all that we have heard it to be:rules:. What a great opening for the summer break:intello::lol::party:. Have a great week guys.:angel:

I don't like how the motor plugs are like the VXL. Its going to pop out a lot. :(

I bought some of theTraxxas HV plugs and I found them to ba a PITA after soldering them getting the gold strip in the plastic connector, I gave up and went back to the old standby...the Deans

Tricky.
 

I agree they can be a bit tricky at first, but if you really read the instructions and follow exactly what they tell you to do it all works out. I had a little trouble on the first couple of tries, but finally got the hang of it. You have to be careful not to get any solder past the locking ridge on the gold tabs, or they will not lock in. Once you get them locked in correctly though they will not come out when you are (plugging and unplugging) them. Plus there is a little room for the insulation so it actually goes inside of the connector, which protects it from showing bare wires. I also place a short piece of heatshrink over the end of each wire to give it a little bit more protection. All in all once you get them installed properly they give you more of a plug to grip during use than the Deans pugs do:intello:.

ok castle now distributes the NEU motors which is kinda signal that NEU will step definitvely into the car-segment of the rc hobby. i hope they now take the chance and redesign their motors so that they are really car-capable also for heavy dirty offroading. meaning to close the front and endbell, motorcan out of one piece (no frontbells) and fix the endbell with screws. make them similar to plettenberg. with all the windings they offer it would only then really be what they already claim, namely 'top notch' motors for car-applications.

Little consern here that the "MMM/neu type" package is going to go away in light of the neu's being a distributed item.... I realy want the package deal ~$300......

dr. know- there was a link earlier in the thread(top of previous page) where castles owner explained the combos will be out later, but they will be castle motors, licensed to steve neu to build, I also want the combo but "around" $300 has already been bumped to "around" $329.99. Who knows how much extra cost might come around?

I think originally said the street price would be ~300. I think pat said the combo would be RRP 330, which means the street price would be around $300 still...

_paralyzed_ you have it the wrong way round i am afraid as pat himself said in the following they license the technology off neu and build the motors in there motor factory in china.

Which explains why they are going to be cheaper as i am sure there would be a lot of pissed neu customers if he started making motors for castle at a knock down price when they paid over 200 big ones just for the motor.

Wow the new castle product page doesnt have the MMM

They are probably waiting for the part number before breaking the news.
