Personally I'm going to support a distributer and not buy direct - I'll end up waiting two weeks more but supporting good service in the long run pays off - I hope more people do the same...

personally I dont care what color they make it. just get them out so I can buy one.

I agree w/ you Arct1K..I have waited this long for the mmm, Mike has been v/ good to me so I will be happy to wait 2 more weeks

The green one is the one supposed to be sold. And the combo will be out in about 1 to 2 months from what the CC reps said. The price would be just way too high for CC to combine with Traxxas and sell it all as a rtr. The shaft was also REALLY hard to turn , so I can bet that it will be one super torque monster.

are they going to come with wires?

The Castle reps I talked to at the show said the MM ESC will be out in two weeks, but the motor isn't ready yet and will come out later (TBA).

Does the MMM have the usb hookup?Thats one of the best features of the MM.

BrianG · 04.22.2008, 08:30 PM

I believe it will not have the built-in USB port, but rather programmable via Castle Link. Should have the same level of programmability though, just a different connection method.

Brian is correct. It will not have a USB port. You will need to use a CastleLink, which i just confirmed is included with the Monster.

How'd you confirm that?

DRIFT_BUGGY · 04.22.2008, 10:10 PM

So will the link come with the esc?

G'day Mates,
I just got an email reply from a Castle Product Specialist (not Joe though) that said
"The Mamba Monster Max will include the full Castle Link which will be no different than the link you can buy separately."

Sweet just checking. Are you going to order an MMM from castle? I've been debating whether to e-mail them or just wait for the MMM to appear on their site. I probably should just e-mail them.

Well, I cant decide on a motor for my Revo conversion. Im thinking about waiting for the combo or getting a Medusa.
One concern i have about the combo is the pricing. A couple of weeks ago Patrick said the MMM would be 170 and the combo 300ish. Well as youve heard, the MMM is 180. So that could mean that the combo might be closer to 400 than i'd like.
Im in no real rush since i just started the conversion and im still waiting for my parts to come in.

What to do... lower KV motor and higher voltage (Medusa) or higher KV and lower volts (CC/Neu)?!?!?
