Don't forget that lipos are 4.2v/cell, or 29.4v on 7s - and A123s are 3.6v/cell or 28.8v on 8s. Some components may not like that even though the voltage will drop fairly quickly.

Why is that? The 1512 1y (kv=2750) on 4s is ~41krpm, and the 1515 1Y (kv=2200) is ~32krpm. I would even go up to 5s on each as long as it is geared right...

Umm, Brian, 6S on the 1515 1Y is what they recommend...not 4S. That's 48.8k RPM.

Oops, I guess I missed that.

Arct1k · 04.24.2008, 02:33 PM

VERY tempted but I'm NOT going to do it... I will order from a distributer...

lutach · 04.24.2008, 02:37 PM

I will wait for you guys to give tests results

I will wait as well. Not with lutach though, unless he wears his dress...

Plus I will get a few from Mike, no need to buy one right now, half off my rc collection is in pieces being re-vamped.

If I go over your place, I'll be bringing some strong sleeping pill for you my friend. Just don't come chasing me when all of your R/Cs are gone

Might be worth it to see you in a dress!?

Also, it would have been nice had they clarified that it's ok to use less than 6S on a 1515/1Y and that the 1512/1Y may not be a good choice for a 1/8th scale truggy. Here's their misleading text:

NEU 1515 1 Y for 6S 1/8th scale and 6S MONSTER TRUCKS
NEU 1512 1 Y for 1/8th scale conversions on 4S max

It's a CC product......why would one wait for testing? Even if it sends off an Indian signal it will get replaced pronto. I don't see a reason to be hesitant. Castle has the best customer service going.

Guess I've gotta toss the 6mm connectors.:')

Picture this, I still have to send them my HV110 and my MM. My time goes 100% for my daughter and the 10% (For the I give 110% effect) goes for running my business. Good thing my suppliers can drop ship to my clients now. Before it was a pain.

Edit: I'll give myself 1%. When she's busy eating and sleeping. I'm usually here

Giggity, giggity.......... giggity-goo

Man I have been off the forum for too long! I am for sure buying a MMM up at the intro price. It's bigger than I originally thought, wow, it's even on the big side.

On a side note, how do you mount the thing? zip-ties?

Well I am glad its finally being put into production and selling.

The best deal for me is reguardless on how well Castle is testing it, Its still being assembled else where. So I seriously doubt that Castle is road testing every unit being processed.

Same goes for the motors! So I would like to personally thank all the hampsters paying for thier injections of Sacarin for testing.

because this will give me some insight to how well the effects are. If we all see 6 forums up and running bantering on in a bad way much like the past has been on the fact of the MMM not being released. Well sure signs will point that Castle might of reacted too quickly based on a little slipping of the lips.

Hope fully we wont see that effect and the rest of us monkey's waiting to join in on the fun will be hitting the shelves, forums, and yes, RC Monster for our addiction on a full BLMT system.

The MMM is being assembled in our facility in Kansas. Not else where.

We don't "road test" each unit -- it would take too much time, and we would have to buy too many cars to actually road test them.... (Especially if I was driving! Ask anyone about the EMAXX sized hole in our wooden fence behind the shop!)

We do, however, test each unit for circuit completeness and part placement, (optical inspection), for full functional testing (such as voltage cutoff, torque limiting, etc.) and for full load capability. These are done as separate tests during production.
