Your settings look like the stock settings for a MM or MMM except for the 10% drag break. That's as good as any place to start. If I was to change anything I'd set the Lipo cutoff to custom. I'd set it at 3.2 - 3.4 volts per cell. I also prefer the forward with brake lock-out. That means the esc has to sit for a second or two in neutral before it goes to reverse. With the fwd/brake/rev setting it goes into reverse as soon as the vehicle stops.

As far as Castle software their web site is rather confussing. The software that is labled Pheonix also has the updates all the Castle ESCs. So download that one and it will update your MM or MMM.

I changed my motor timing to high (15) and my punch to 30%. I was just out running it. Any link for the castle update would be appreciated. Everytime I plug in the MMM it is telling me to go the castle site for a download. My firmware updates is disabled it says.

The download button is at the very bottom of this page: http://www.castlecreations.com/downl...beta_info.html

Running 15 degrees timing will make the motor accelerate harder, but also run hotter. Not a problem as long as things don't get too hot. I believe Medusa recommends 8 - 13 degrees for their motors.

Thanks I am downloading it now. I was told 15degrees for timing would be okay?? Temps outside now are about 45 degrees. I will be keeping a eye on temps when running.
