Now CC have laid their cards on the table (more or less), and Tekin are close behind, I want to hear more from Traxxas & Novak.

if they can keep that price with a NEU motor, they got a royal straight flush. Traxxas couldn't compete with a 200.00 price tag and Tekin is a racer based company, I see the esc being 300.00

Wow!!! That's frikkin' phenomenal...those are some great specs. 175A constant should be more than enough, and 6S LiPo is great. I've been waiting so long to hear those specs.The price is just downright insane though. I'm with CrazyJR... at $300 for the whole combo, there just ain't gonna be any competition that I can see. Sold! :)

Yep, if the price stays they've definitely hit a home run. Good job castle!

Although, I was hoping for something a bit closer to 8s just for a little extra voltage headroom...

Dagger Thrasher 10.21.2007 07:36 PM

Well you have to remember, this is a 6S *official* rating...so it'll run solid as a rock on that voltage. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it can pull off 7S, perhaps even 8 knowing Castle controllers.

This thing sounds like a dream come true...

what motors do the current mamba max combos come with?

just curious...

i can't wait to try this thing out. think it's better than the quark 125B? that's what i have, and seems to be the defacto 'budget' ESC. might get the combo for my revo when the time comes...

crazyjr 10.21.2007 07:52 PM

If i can swing it, I plan to get the esc and try it (if it comes in dec. as said) and later i will get the combo for my New Emaxx, hey we got to truely test the new diffs right , right?

There is talk of them eventually being bundled with Neu-made motors. Although, to keep the price down, I wonder if they will offer only the non-finned versions.

This should definitely be better than the Quark IF it runs as smooth as the Quark. The MM is certainly nice for the money, but is not as smooth the Quark is. Remember, the Quark is not meant for 1/10 MT or 1/8 buggies. It really is in the same class as the MM power-wise. Both ESCs even use the same number of FETs.

I'll believe it as soon as someone has one in their hands. CC hasnt ever met a date as far as I know. Also these are all "unoficial" dates. If they publish a date on their website It might start to get some more credibility.

If its out by spring we will be lucky IMO.

That said... Specs and Price sound like brushless nirvana! I keep my fingers cautiously crossed at this point. They have a long way to go before anything they say starts to be credible in my eyes. Not to mention... they didnt say any of this, its all just information that someone else said that they said.

BrianG 10.21.2007 08:03 PM

I wonder how many people will be dumping their MM's in favor of the MMM for the larger vehicles? Might be a buyers market for pre-owned MM's pretty soon!

MTBikerTim 10.21.2007 08:05 PM

If that's true I'll buy one for sure. It's going to be hard though waiting until February to finish my savage though. I'll probably have to wait even longer as the 2200kv is far too much for a savage.

gixxer 10.21.2007 08:09 PM

$300 for the combo is great. now hopefully they can actually make the eta.

Dagger Thrasher 10.21.2007 08:14 PM

It's all true:

Just scroll down, and it's Patrick himself posting that info.

jnev 10.21.2007 08:15 PM

Wow, $300 for the dream combo. I'll put my money down right now. I was planning on spending that amount just on the motor.

Now for CC to actually release it when they say they will....
