Any truth to the claims that the latest firmware is causing Mamba Pro units to go up in smoke? I know someone that personally had this happen, and read about it happening to others.

I'm very hesitant to upgrade my Mamba Monsters because of this.

Haven't heard anything about Mamba Pro, and I check the boards regularly -- Mamba Max had a glitch where the new software would make the on-board USB stop working -- but that software was fixed right away.

That's it. This newest version stop the "hesitation" that some setups were seeing when using torque limiting.

Thanx!

I have not tryed the torque control yet, But the 3.26 castle link and the v. 1.29 mamba revision is working great on my mamba max.

One question on the torque control, Do you need to hook up a battery to the esc to do the kv check? I'd like to try the torque control but not sure what i need to do to activate it

One more thing, Big shoutout to castle's support. They sent me a castle link at no charge to fix my mamba max after i lost the usb due to the first update in this thread. Due to the support i got, My next esc will be a castle mamba.


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

Crazy -- yes, you need to hook up a battery so the ESC can do the Kv check. Thanx!
