MM update is up!

[snellemin]

I ran mine with 6s1p A123 this past Sunday. It works for a few seconds before it shut down, which is enough for the 132 feet dragrace.

I have to yet to run one after the firmware update, not that it matters (I have Lehners).

I wonder if they will run these even more smoothly - possibly eliminate the once in a blue moon off the line stutter?

I updated the MM in my crawler and threw the AXI outrunner back in. I had taken it out and replaced it with a hand wound 55t due to the fact that if I stopped on a hill, and it rolled back, it would not start back up until it came to a stop. Also it would sometimes cog if I punched it from a standstill. After the update, it seems to always start perfect, even when rolling backwards down a hill. I'll leave the outrunner in for a while and see how it goes. I'd forgotten what real power was like The 55t was very smooth, but pretty weak.

The beep is to remind you that your ESC is still turned on.

I guessed as much.
I think its a good feature it reminds you to turn off the mamba max after a run protecting your battery's etc.

I like the way the new doo doo sound it makes when starting up slowely now it seems that once it gets to a certain rpm it changes to a new mode or at least that's what it sounds like.

seems a little smoother on startup on my Neu 1.5Y. hard to tell in the basement. I'll have to wait to get to the track for a real test.
It is smoother on my crawler with an outrunner. Still have to test on the rocks as well.

friggin winter. gotta wait for a thaw...

well I just downloaded it. tried my 8t out in the house with 5s and a 12xl feigao. so far all I notice is the annoying sound at low speed. guess I will have to wait for the woman to get home so I can try it outside (have to watch the little one).

And I have a hard enough time with one!

Ok, just did the downlaod onto the mm in mt ext crt.5. I run a 3s 4200 lipo and a plett maximum. It does start the 4 pole motor better, and the esc seems to run cooler too. I also seem to have better runtime, like 3-5 minutes. Good stuff, can't wait to try thiws update with a aquacraft 6 pole motor in my new emaxx. We will see if it can start that motor, it is impossible to turn by hand! I also have a novak 6.5 that I eill try out in my xxx-cr buggy. Great revision for the best low cost esc around!

Yep, makes for a good 3s motor (3100kv) and it never gets much more than slightly warm.

We'll get you fixed up. Service request form and all pertinent information to send the ESC in are located on the support tab of our website.

Joe, I want to thank you for the support you guys have given me on my castle products. You're always really fast with your warranty replacements. I own two MMs which I just updated and they run great, two 5700 motors, and I just ordered a CCBEC, Castle Link and a Sidewinder from the Castle site along with some bullets for my conversion project. I really like your products. Thanks again :)

Sharp eyes there DrKnow! I run a 13t pinion gear, one off the old emaxx input shaft, that I drilled and tapped for a set screw and hardened for use with the steel spur. It is geared for about 35mph, but is still very fun.

I can verify the mamba 25 with update will work with a Neu 1107 and no cogging. This was in a Mini Quake SE with 3s lipo and tall gearing
