It would be easier for Castle to just make a programmer. A simple LCD graphic display cold be used kind of like the one found on the JR R-1 radio. Just for the ones who needs to mess with the throttle and brake curves. I never messed with it so I don't know how useful it really is.

LOL.... I use the EEE PC as my portable programmer too.

with programmer you still need to go through lot of steps. with prog. card u set everything at once. mgm cards have upgradable software

+1 BT link with Windows CE sw :) that would be so cool

The ability to change the throttle and brake curves would be great but even if a hand held programmer lacked them being able to adjust punch control, motor timing, and drag brake among a few other things track side without having a laptop would be great I think.

Easy solution: Castle needs to release Mamba Monster Platinum edition! Features include:

> Limited-edition, numbered Mamba Monster ESC.

> Redesigned aluminum case with integrated heatsink.

> Includes limited edition Castle/HP mini notebook PC preloaded with the latest version of Castle Link.

> Full color, laminated manual with geniune autographs of all the Castle Creations team members.

> Castle Gear T-Shirt

> Everything arrives in an aluminum attache case with embossed Castle Creations Logo.

All for the bargain price of $699.99. Act now! Supplied limited. Operators standing by...

I can actually have one of my clients do a Castle mini PC with Windows XP for a lot cheaper then that, but it would be just way more expensive and a little program box would be nicer lol.

I didn't exactly shop around. It was just a tongue-in-cheek response. :wink:

I'm putting some pictures in photobucket. I'll post them here in a few minutes.

Here are the pictures:

The two top ones would probably be the easiest since they are running a full Win OS, which the link works on. Doesn't need to be powerful to run that one piece of software.

LOL I thought the whole idea here was to get away with having to take a laptop to the track not getting all to buy one

It is, but the few that would still like to carry a bulky laptop and can spend the extra $$$ might go with that option. I still think a nice program card with a graphic LCD would do the trick. Like I said before, graphic LCDs are not expensive at all.

But programming that graphics LCD would be.

Is there any possibility of this coming out any time soon? Or some kind of programable card that can up load different settings, to a MMM. Being able to hook the card up to the computer and change parameter would be cool to.

I am getting a 4s and a 6s lipo soon and i like to set my l.v.c. a little higher then normal. Also I want to be able to change settings from racing to bashing. My main problem is, my computer is a Mac. I don't get access to a windows based PC to often.

Perhaps have the normal stuff all programmed like normal, and the curves (if you decide to mess with them--I prefer a linear throttle curve, that's why I don't drive nitro) would be programmed into it through your computer, with 2 or 3 different curves you can load in.

I just program mine once and that's all I need. I do have my laptop so re-programming in the field is easy. It's a Dell Inspiron 1525 so the 17" screen makes it a big large, but I don't think it's difficult to bring along.
