Should I just wait??

I am hearing things like next spring for the Mamba monster combo. I am confident it should RIP!!!! should I go ahead an order a Quark and NEU motor or should I just wait for this?? thanks.

Depends. Can you wait? They say this spring, but who knows when they will really be out. I imagine the price will be far better than the Quark/Neu combo.

do you think it will be more powerful than the Quark/NEU?

[glassdoctor]

The esc will be yes... the motor, I doubt. Their goal is to equal a Neu. We'll see how close they come.

I'm pretty sure we can expect it to be the best all around system and bang for buck available, just like the MM is.

[BrianG]

It's really hard to say. Rumor has it that the ESC is for 5s (maybe 6s if you push it a little like we do with the MM). I also heard talk that the motors were Neu-based. Not sure.

I know how you feel though: Do I wait until the next big thing (and possibly be disappointed that I waited so long for something that doesn't live up to the hype), or do I just bite the bullet now and get what's good since I know how this combo runs?

Either way, you probably won't be dissatisfied. The only real big difference is the price and the programmability of the ESC. Maybe some extra current handling, etc. Then again, there may be problems with the first batch. Who knows.

i would wait if you can handle it at most if you wait you will be in for a let down but, if you buy the neu quark combo and the mmm combo is like 200 to 300 less and performs equally or somewhat better then you will feel bad. Please do what you wish but there will be no dissadvantage to waiting even if it is just a few weeks longer. But that is just my opinion do what you wish.

Indeed, can you wait that long? I love my HVMAXX to bits- plenty enough for what I need. The Neu/quark will eat a HVMAXX alive, but then again how much power/speed do you really need/can you use in your track/driving/bashing spot? The MMM will be cheaper, but then again you might find you need new diffs every week..... alot to think about, me thinks.

Actually Brian, the MMM will be 6S (or perhaps 8S, I can't remember) capable, but there will be a HV version capable of 12S. :D

Myself, I hate waiting on new releases, especially in RC. I'd rather spend the money and enjoy something for a year versus sitting there fantasizing about a future product.

No matter what, there will always be new and better products out there in the future for less money. Life's too short to waste it away pondering how great something in the future can be...get out there and enjoy what's available now!

Actually, that's not true...

Ah. I missed that post, but as of a few months ago, they said that the MMM will be 6S and the HV will be 12S, but that was a little while back. I don't really wanna wait for the HV, so I'll probably just get the MMM.

It would suck if you wait 2 months and it gets pushed back again and again.
You could be out having a blast.

[BrianG]

That's kinda what I'm thinking...

This hobby is a lot like the computer industry sometimes. If you wait until the next big thing, when it does arrive, there is another big thing on the horizon and you could end up waiting forever.

so we are talking a few more months?? I can wait that long.

thanks for all the help again guys

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on Castle to actually release the MMM this summer. If the past release of the MM is any indication of how late it'll be, it's likely to be Christmas before it's available.
