MMM availibility date dropped!

[Patrick]

The quark 125B is rated for 6s (apparently it doesn't work properly for some people, but it has worked well for me), and zeropointbug has used his on 7s A123's. He did have some extra caps on it, so maybe that helped a bit, not sure.

7s A123 has the same unloaded voltage as 6s LiPo but I hear A123 drop more voltage under load so it should be a little easier on the ESC if it is truly 6s capable.

Back on topic, I am a F1 fan too and don't really get nascar, ok from a road track like monaco or Phoenix you can only see a few corners but with nascar its the same even if you can see the whole track, most F1 tracks dont have buildings either side of the street, hockenheim in germany is quite wooded and also doesnt offer a good view but most of the tracks are out in the open and you can see quite a lot of the trackfrom a grandstand. I've never seen F1 in person as tickets are very expensive but I have seen groupC, and sportscar racing at silverstone the English F1 track and from the grandstand at stowe corner you can see about half the track and a big screen for the other half and there is 2 other positions that you can see about a third of the track from, you can probably view of more corners in 1 race than the entire season of nascar.

I lament all the restrictions they put in F1 especially the underfloor aerodynamics that are a lot less affected by the car in front than wings are, which hampers overtaking. But in this litigious society we live in it is needed for the drivers and spectators safety, shame as when F1 started drivers wore leather helmets and had no seatbelts, spectators had no crash barriers or catch fences and there was no shortage of either, people accepted the risk to play there part in racing at the highest level.

I have long thought there should be a TV only unlimited computer driven unmanned class with only 1 rule which is a maximum car width so there can still be overtaking, get the squishy diver and trackside spectators out so there are no safety concerns, then release the hounds! Think you can get a 10,000hp methonol burning V8 to stay together for 200 miles? Go for it. Want a turbocharged 30litre diesel giving 10,000lb/ft? No problemo. Want a 1500hp turboed F1 engine in a 100kg car? Your welcome to get it a light as you can. Fan assisted underfloor aerodynamics giving 5G whilst stationary, good idea. Pop up variable camber wings for 300mph top speed and 20G cornering that would kill a driver instantly, that will be a sight to see. Lets see what the best creative minds can do with the pinnacle of modern technology, not how can you best optimise a car to a set of rules.

Did anyone notice in rcgroups that patrick's pumped out the prices for the MMM with a "don't quote me" - apparently street price 180...

By Patrick from rc groups
Good news! We got the first press off the mold, and have accepted the final mold assembly.

Now we need a couple weeks to get production scheduled in, and we should be good to go.

Edit: After the 6S Monster is done, will you offer a 12S as well like you said in rcgroups?

I'd like to, but I applied for a password on RC-Monster and never got one. I guess they didn't believe I was who I said I was...

According to my admin panel, Patrick IS a member - joined on 03/17/08 and shows as a registered member - username Pdelcast

I am thinking his password is stuck in a spam filter or something. :)

Here are the pics... Weird design - no exposed heatsink - those are 6.5mm bullets for 10ga wire

[Dagger Thrasher]

Wow! I didn't expect that....pretty cool! I imagine it'll look better once the stickers are applied to add that Mamba touch to the controller...but finally! The 6.5mm solder buckets/plugs are a great idea too.

[Arct1k]

I think they intend you to use the 6.5mm castle plugs which I hope they supply...

[potreinas]

yes they supply them:
http://www.castlecreations.com/products/ccbullet.html

CC Bullet 6.5mm CC Bullets - Set of 3 each female and male 6.5mm connectors
$5.24

[Dagger Thrasher]

Oh right...yeah, that'd make sense. Apparently their connectors are a LOT more reliable than normal bullets, so hopefully there won't be any issues with dodgy motor connections.

[RC-Monster Mike]

I emailed Patrick his new password. :)
