Or how about a RC-Monster - Special Edition MM with these specs. I kinda like the sound of that.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

I actually spoke with Lee and one of the Castle engineers about OEMing just such a controller at the RCX show - they suggested the mamba pro was just this(except I would prefer an additional lead for link programming and fan power - easier to unplug the fan for programming vs. messing with the rx) - they didn't mention a lower current limit, though(I agree with the sentiment that this lower power handling is a bit of a disappointment). :)

That's a really good idea. When I did fans on my mm I just used a 3mm tap into the hs and ran a lead back from the bec (4S/5S use.) This already done cleaner w/ a switching BEC would be +++.

The usb frustrates me as well. Its a great idea in theory, but the plug never seems to be in the right place. A little dongle would be great.

The MM works quite well on smaller or overpowered 1/8ths. The trug I'm about to do now I'd really like to run 5S on, but there is a gap in US controllers able to do that w/o being overkill. I don't need 200A capability, but 100A and 5S would be king. I can live w/o 6S.
