Interesting, wounder if castle will offer certain "stock winds" with the mmm or just as a seperate part number. That way any major distruibutor will be able to get them, just through castle. That way my lhs can stock them! And I can "test" them for the lhs!

Well that sure answers a lot of questions that have been flying arond here for the last few months. Sounds like some one has been doing their homework and this is going to be a very good deal for us. All the hype seems to be coming out just like they thought it might. CC is going to be doing a lot of business the rest of the year. Way to go Patrick and Huray for us. Now when can we order??????

GOD! this is crazy. I cant recall the last time I was ever this happy or anxious to get sometihing RC related. I cant freaking wait and this is definately great news to have castle as the main Distributor of Nue's powerplants because Now I can order them through my hobby shop with no problems. Great thinking Castle!

Now if Castle can come up with their own version of the Dean's plug to handle the HV

Personally I prefer the Traxxas HV plugs better due to their shape and size they are much easier to connect and disconnect. As for the excitement I think everyone is feeling it now. This is a product three years in the making and from what we have seen so far it looks to be the ultimate ESC for Monster truck junkies, and should prove to be a good controller for other applications as well. Within a few days CC will be flooded with orders to get this long awaited pheonom out the door and into our vehicles. You should be excited, and hopefully the product will be all that we have heard it to be. What a great opening for the summer break. Have a great week guys.

Little consern here that the "MMM/neu type" package is going to go away in light of the neu's being a distributed item.... I realy want the package deal ~$300......


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

dr. know- there was a link earlier in the thread(top of previous page) where castles owner explained the combos will be out later, but they will be castle motors, licensed to steve neu to build, I also want the combo but "around" $300 has already been bumped to "around" $329.99. Who knows how much extra cost might come around?

I think originally said the street price would be ~300. I think pat said the combo would be RRP 330, which means the street price would be around $300 still...

_paralyzed_ you have it the wrong way round i am afraid as pat himself said in the following they license the technology off neu and build the motors in there motor factory in china.

Which explains why they are going to be cheaper as i am sure there would be a lot of pissed neu customers if he started making motors for castle at a knock down price when they paid over 200 big ones just for the motor.

They are probably waiting for the part number before breaking the news.
