can't wait for the mmm

I run 20 minutes on my 6S 2200mAhpacks without an issue. One of the reasons why it would've been good for Castle to just do a 12S capable controller. They have the MM that can handle 4S so why not have the MMM handle 12S. I think they would finally have a complete line of ESCs. The math is simple. If you have a 2000 Watt combo you would draw 90A on 6S, 54A with 10S and 45A with 12S to get the same amount of power. With higher voltage you will also have to go with a smaller pinion and/or larger spur. Another option would be to use the 4.3:1 diffs that some truggies have in your buggies.

Thats about right strodedawg. Personally I think you could sacrifice one or the other but not both C rating and capacity, just to be on the safe side in case of large peaks of current draw. I know the outrunner guys have used some much lower capacity packs -3000mah or so- with great runtimes still.

cool, i have a crt with the HB ring and pinions and a neu 1515/2d (2050 kv). waiting for the MMM and a 6s lipo (2 x 11.1 in series)
thanks for the info

So, I'm guessing that the MMM will go on sale on April 1st, the day after the March 25% off sale ends. Thoughts? :-)

jnev · 03.03.2008, 01:41 AM

I bet you're right in the sense that it won't be out during the 25% off sale, but I doubt it'll be out April 1st. More like..... late April to May I'm thinking.

MTBikerTim · 03.03.2008, 02:14 AM

I doubt the sale will put them off releasing it if it is done before then. They will release it as soon as it is done. It may not be available on their website to buy though until the sale is over but other retailers will have them. Personally I think it will be April before it is released but for other reasons.

Well it's nice to see that everyone is still haggling about all of the different ways they could have gone compared to the way they are going. All of the spec information that you guys have shared is educational for sure, but CC is still going to put out what they have tested and stated to us. Joe and his crew have been hard at it and they have already set the specs they intend to sell us for right now, so we will either buy it or not. From all of the excitement I bet most of us will purchase the kit just to see how it turns out. It will be a hit for most of us, but there will still be some unhappiness out there no matter what setup they sell us.

March was the expected date, but from the info shared by Joe we all know it will most likely be sometime within the next 60 to 90 days. That is just the way it goes when you are depending on outside sources for components that you cannot make in house. The spring frenze will be interesting for sure, along with all of the summer testing that all of us will be doing. I am willing to bet that as soon as we purchase the CC MMM kit the demand for other motors will go up quickly. This is going to be quite and interesting summer for all of us. Have a good one fellas

What info from Joe are you talking about?

JERRY2KONE · **Long Thread -** 03.04.2008, 08:54 PM

I know it is a long thread, but if you read all of the posts Joe even mentions that CC is awaiting components from outside sources that have not yet come in. He also makes mention of things that are out of his control that are holding up production, and that they are trying their best to get it on the shelves for us. I have been following the thread from its begining and I do not have the time to re-read the entire thread to pull out each individual post for you. Read the thread the information is there.

Joe,
Is Castle still on for a March release? We are starting to hear April but not from Castle, just rumors. Any updates for us?

Mister-T · 03.05.2008, 02:38 PM

Seen On Castle forum @ Rcgroups (they do lot of support there, remember RC Aicraft ESC is there primary market :P)

"Andy,

I was supposed to get samples from the completed mold this week. I haven't seen 'em yet, but hoping they will get here soon!

Thanks!

Patrick"

"Patrick,

What are the chances of you sending a controller for someone else then the CC staff to test them?

"It's possible.

But we aren't far off from having production boards in stock. Anything you would get today will have a few pieces and parts grafted onto the circuit board, so won't have the greatest reliability...

Patrick"

Hydrodancer · 03.08.2008, 03:41 PM

Does anyone know the dimensions of the new MMM?

Dagger Thrasher · 03.08.2008, 06:35 PM

The footprint will be 1.95" by 1.75".

Hey, saw cold fusion in one of the reader's rides sections in a rc mag. Nice job on that truck BTW!

Dagger Thrasher · 03.08.2008, 07:34 PM

Thanks man! I can't believe it got in, though the stupid thing is, I still haven't seen it in there...I've been busting a gut to get hold of the April copy that it's in, lol (RCCA's tricky to get here in the UK). But I'll get one somehow. Cheers mate. :)
