Awesome!

Hi,

can I use the new ESC with a 6 Pole Motor like the Tenshock X812L? Is it possible to use the Sensor too at this Motor?

It's compatible with any motor, and with any sensored motor.

Thanks!

Patrick will these new units be making into the RTR vehicles from Traxxas? I'm sure they would love to advertise the brushless Maxx and Revo as waterproof.

They already do that, they have the MMM2 in but then in a blue case:

Never mind... I'm behind the times.

I'd love to get the X series into Traxxas vehicles, but I can't get any response from Traxxas.

I've been trying to get someone at Traxxas to return phone calls/emails for weeks. /shrug

That's so crazy! I am sorry to hear this.

I'm so excited about this esc. I tend to do different things with my vehicle periodically, for example sct to truggy to monster truck to trail truck to speed demon to bored to something else.

So, when I purchase an esc, I love for it to be capable of anything. I've wanted a sensored mamba monster for some time. I have a g force 2250 sensored motor I tried to run in a telluride off of a mmp, but it drew too many amps. Now I'll have a sensored option that already works with all the castle link stuff I have.

I am also hoping the telemetry stuff can work with traxxas stuff and the tqi linked to my phone?

There is some logged data on the brand new ESC already. Is that some kind of testrun on a bench? Looks interesting.

Hi just got to play with my monster x and have a few questions.

I did the kv test on my 2650 and it came up as 3250. Wouldn't that make the motor a 1600 kv motor? That was with no pinion just the motor spinning. It's a new castle 2650.

Does it matter what I set torque control to on the castle link when I assign the aux wire to torque control?
Or does setting the aux wire ser to torque control overide Whatever I have it set on the castle link.

On the aux wire it seems to work from neutral to full negative travel. Does positive travel do anything? Like is neutral basically torque control disabled and full negative travel full torque control?

This is what the help text in the CastleLink software says:
Quote:

Torque Control Adjustment
The controller's torque limit is controlled by the AUX wire signal. The torque control is scaled from 0.1 at 1.1ms signal received on the AUX wire to 5.0 at 1.9ms. Torque control is disabled when the input exceeds 1.9ms. If the AUX wire becomes disconnected, the controller will use the torque limit set in Castle Link.
It depends on your radio make and model what the 3rd channel does. And of course how it is configured. The range for "servo signals" is usually from around 1.0ms to 2.0ms (depends on make and model, there is no real standard). E.g. the throttle channel gives 1.0ms at full brake, 1.5ms at neutral and 2.0ms at full throttle.

This box can read out the signal from the receiver channels and show the ms values, makes it a lot easier, sometimes it's hard to tell from the manual what the extra channels do exactly.

Here is the log already on the Monster X:

Ahh ok so I guess .2 to 5.0 is the common settings for torque control. I'll set mine at like 8 in the castle link to give me a nice range if I want less torque control by disconnecting the wire. And I'm using a 4pls futaba

Anyone do a kv test and get weird numbers like me?

Cool you got yours already! Will try and pick mine up at Customs next week. Looking forward to your first impressions.

I remember my XL2 had some bench log on it too. What's interesting is that yours shows max Voltage 32.3V?
