I spoke with someone at Castle yesterday about the MMM. He said the controller is ready to go, but they're having trouble coming up with a motor that's efficient enough to pair with it.

He said they'd like to sell the controller now by itself, but they'd have to find a strategic way to require that you only use Neu motors until they come out with their own. They were even going to have Neu build their motors, but they'd never be able to keep up with demand.

They want to keep up their good warranty reputation, but they don't want to support people using their controller with crappy motors, then having the crappy motors seize up and fry the controller.

Interesting stuff ...


He's down by the river ... walking on water.

Other controllers have no problem with motors from 2, 4 and 6 poles. The MM worked great with my Align 600L motor and someone is even using a Quark 80with a Align 600XL. To me it seems like a good excuse to go with. Not everyone has the money to buy a Neu motor and they stick with a Feigao for the price. I use feigaos as well and haven't had problems with them.

Honestly they been saying that for two years (since before the MM officially came out) they seem to think we are morons and don't know what we are doing. Well we do overdrive the MM a wee bit hehehe.


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

Isn't there a law against false advertisement?
