New traxxas castle mamba monster extreme? - Page 16 - RC-Monster Forums

Yep if they could offer this castle live on the MMM XL I'd happily ditch my 3pk in favour of the Traxxas radio system

MiamizFinest · 02.01.2012, 02:05 AM

^^^^ i thought the same thing but i simply can not get used to driving with out the drop wheel, ive had a drop wheel on my 3PK since the first 3PK gold one and i can't get un-used to it i think.

The traxxas radio itself felt good, it didn't feel cheap at all but the wheel placement was killing me!!! But i will warn you of one thing about the traxxas radio, I DEFIANTLY did feel a small TINY MICROSCOPIC lag in steering and throttle response. If your just bashing it really wont matter, if your racing you can get away with it fine, but for me to switch over to a slower system that i can physically feel!?!? Nah i'll stick with futaba!

I hear the esc doesn't work with castle link yet ? This is no good as the xo-1 needs to be toned down a bit with throttle curves and such , hope this isn't true , can anyone who has it confirm?

That's why they have the ipod /iphone link up. You can change everything through the link. My neighbor has one and it's very cool.

No you cannot tune the esc through the remote , You need castle link for this. You can change things with the remote such as steering and throttle expo , training mode , ect. , but not esc features such as drag brake , start power , throttle curves , ect.

Yes, this is sad but true.

There are no Castle esc adjustments in the Traxxas Link App.

Traxxas says call Castle and Castle won't say for sure whats up.????

Yeah I believe Castle is working on it for castle link but this is seriously something that should have been released when they shipped the cars. Especially with one that goes 100mph , you need to tone things down. Castle maybe you can chime in on this ?

cmac · 02.01.2012, 05:31 PM

I did not realize that. I can't beieve that you are not able to adjust settings in the esc. On a car like that. I guess all the noobs that are buying these wouldn't know how to change those settings anyway.

Do what? I thought being able to tune the esc on the fly through the app was the whole point of this? I thought that was a cool idea, guess I misread or was a little too hopeful for something really cool to come from this.

Read the whole thread guys- you CAN adjust the full range of esc settings via your Iphone or iTouch, that's exactly what Castle Link Live is for. You do need the traxxas App downloaded to your iDevice though, how you get into CLL to change the esc settings I'm not sure but Patrick himself has said you can ( in this thread ), so...

I missed your meme Neil, I wish I had been paying more attention.

Interesting times in the r/c world my friends. Men who argue about toys... AND I'M ONE OF THEM

I wish people would only recite facts, so much of the bickering is assumption.

C'est la vie.

What's crazy I find is the fact how this car has brought out the worst in people, regardless if you love the car or hate the car. It's precents has really pissed people off to a raging point where people forget its a toy car LOL.

Either way, I had it a total of six days so I could have an first hand experience with it unlike half of the "cyber experts"......and on that note I'm glad I sold mine when I did!!!

Forgive me if I missed it, but what was it that caused you to sell it? Pros and cons? I was considering buying one, the limiter is what put me off. I have the money to buy one, still thinking I shouldn't though...
