yes they need a motor for the slash
 

The current 4600 and 5700 with sidewinder are too hot for the slash setup even on 2S. 3000 would be about right as the VXL is 3500 and it seems to run cool and give lots of flexibility.

I never had any problems with a MM and 5700 in my slash... 30+min on the track at a time too

sounds like interesting stuff is coming out from cc. nice! :yes:

i am astonished how many people seem to "apply" for this testing stuff.
rc is fun but if you have to write up everything, submit a "report" etc... sounds almost like "work" to me. :lol:

bye

soooo when are we going to find out?


can I update the "survay" that I filled out?
I now have a brushless hyper 7 with a novak HV 4.5...

soo who got picked??

They are probably allready choosen.Castle did say in their email they needed results in 2 weeks.

I'm ready to buy my Mamba Max Pro....:whistle:

Results in 2 weeks from being received, is the way I took it.

An ESC like this will be very versatile.

It's going to be VERY interesting to pull it straight from a strong brushless setup, and see it give GREAT performance transplanted into a sensored setup. :yes:

I would put the MM Pro in my GTP with my TE Neu 1512/1.5 on 4s.My MMM handles this setup great.My GTP only weighs 10lbs so its pretty much a land rocket.I also have a Neu Castle 2650 motor that would work graet on 4s with the MM Pro in this car.

So my question is, will CC make SENSORED MOTORS also ?

Has anyone heard anything about this? :neutral:

I think its a myth.

maybe the email was a castle system glitch?
i guess stay tuned...

Probably a fear tactic for the sensored ESC big guns.

LOL.......they are actually out for BETA now.

whe have to wait another year for those products(mamba max pro , new software and the 1800kv monster motor)or they will be released tjis summer????

Hopefully soon........that's all I am allowed to say. :)

Is it safe to assume the Beta Testers have already been chosen for these AND the motors?

Nobody ever really updated us on this.

The motor BETA was Pat's baby......I have no clue what went where on those. The Mamba Max Pro BETA testers have been chosen and the controllers went out to them about a week ago.

Hmm, I better wait before I rush into another MM system.

I can't wait, there will finally be an esc i can run on my GT conversion (1200kv 5s lipo) without a UBEC

The MMPro is worth the wait.

Did this actually happen?

What did?

Beta testing for new castle phoenix ice and mamba max pro!!!!

It's happening as we speak. It's not an urban legend, myth, old wife tale, or word on the street kinda thing.

Thats good to know even if I wasn't selected ;)

Man, that's bloody wrong. I thought you would be testing one too since you tested the 2200 and 2650 motors. Also after all the nice shirts you sent to Castle and all the nice stuff you said about the Castle products, they should've at least sent you one. I would've.

I just wanted to be clear for Castle I was never an offiicial "tester" of the motors. I recieved them in exchange for the 20+ T shirts I designed and sent over the Castle - I did provide some feedback on the them mainly temps and the play in the rotor.

I've got probably got the only 2650kv HPI version around as I never got sent the production version...

PS Let me know when you get that crawler setup - There is a big NJ scene you should come along...

Well, if I was in charge of the MM Pro beta test, you would have one. :yes:

The MM Pro is (in essence) 2/3 of a MMM... they share almost the same design -- except for:

The MM Pro has sensor input (and some cool stuff, like CHEAT* mode)
The MM Pro has adjustable BEC output voltage (.1V increment adjust from 5.0V - 7.0V)
The MM Pro has a much smaller footprint
The MM Pro has a smaller fan (25mm) that can be removed (For BrianG)


*Castle High Energy Advanced Timing -- gives a power boost for stock type sensored motors, with adjustable lead-in RPM

It will go perfectly in here some day... The MM and CC BEC work great though...

PS Who do i need to send a Pizza to for next time ;)

where i can buy this beast:whistle:

Are you going to replace the original MM with the Pro? or they'll exist in parallel ?

i think they will keep the mm...and just add the mm-pro...(and maybe some other stuff and software)...castle offer a lot of product so with these new esc they will accomodate more guy's in racing...and me:whistle:

Sounds more like a Sidewinder Pro - i,e, sensored and and switching bec with funky s/w...

MM has been a good seller, it made CC in the car market but in reality is pretty squeezed between Sidewinder, MM Pro and MMM...

Given CC can knock them out easy enough they may continue them but there is a small, market now in reality - 1/10th can use a Sidewinder/MM Pro and 1/8th uses a MMM...

Sidewinder 70
MM Pro 105 (guess at street price)
MM 115
MMM 140

What senario would you buy a MM?

With sensored you can have a higher rollout with any motor.
The use of 11000kv+ motors without startup issues is solved.
Dragracing is much more consistant.
The cheat mode, aka Boost or Turbo in other ESC's makes it possible for burst speeds at topend or at whatever rmp you which to set it at. Weak batteries need not to apply.
6S capable without mods.

I doubt they will keep the MM. It is hard to build, very labor intensive. If the Pro is at the same price with the same power but easier to build, why have both?

As much as I'd hate to see the MM go, I think you're right. The MM is tougher to make than most ESCs (which is part of the cost, unless they re-design it to be cheaper to build). It's pretty much the most robust and reliable ESC on the market. I've had 6 or 7 of them and they are worth every cent. If they could make them cheaper to build but not sacrifice any reliability or specs (maybe drop in new FETs that are better than the ones that are in it) that would be incredible.

MM is still going to be available for the foreseeable future. MM Pro is adding to the line, not replacing the MM.

like ive said in previous post:yes:more products for more choice and for more happy customer:whip:

so im waiting for this esc:whistle:o yes im waiting:mdr:
