if you want brakes you will need to run mechanical brakes and you will have no reverse with an air ESC, I have one for my latest project...and if you use a pistol Tx you will need a Pistix adapter here are a few links to what I have

Metalman had a previous post where he ran an HV110 in a BL Savage had got very good results

sorry its a 100A controller from hobbycity. 200A @ 22V = broken drivetrain surely
There is a 12S version too.

I'm a bit skeptical of these no-name ESC current claims. Sure, the FET could technically be rated at 200A, but that's probably best case scenario with optimum temps (no temperature derating figured in), with 200mph airflow. Not to mention; can the PCB circuit traces support those kinds of currents? Also, air ESCs hardly ever have the burst headroom that a car ESC does.

At least his no-name ESC is working.

Well they are 100A rated, not 200A and yes they don't have the burst capabilty. But they are huge and work very well to their ratings and I believe those ones may be the very same ESC's that Hacker supply.
Unfortunately they are only of limited use in car applications so I only recommend if you know what you're doing.

Yes thats the one I have, the 6S version (didn't really want to post direct link here).

Pistix is not needed, it will calibrate with a pistol controller.

Been there, done that, Fried it. It did last a while just like the Mamba Max did. Funny how they all smell the same.

Well seeing as tha Patrick was online today and does not want to show p in this thread and answer my orignal post on page one I guess that means we won't be seeing any cheque's in the mail from castle for being there Beta tester's for the MMM.I would like to tell Patrick if you going to except your customer's to do the Beta testing for you it may be a good idea to tell the that in advance as I boughta MM on day one and never even got a thank or a nice card for all the free Beta testing I did for you.

It should be worth a try since it's only $65 plus shipping.

After seeing all these failure cases of MMM and there is bad news emerging everyday,
I am not expecting my MMM v2 which is already been shipped anymore. Although the chance is minimum, I would like to ask is there any possibility to prevent the failure?
Perhaps, the best way is to sell it when it comes intact.

Sucks to hear that Jerry. I hope to have my first V2 (3rd MMM) here by the end of the week. Going straight to 6s lipo on it, and I will torture it till it says uncle. Hope I get more than 10 mins out of it. My 1st V1 is still going strong, must be past 3 hours by now...
