MMM availibility date dropped!

I really don't want to talk motor theory, but keep this in mind when studying motor specs... on the Neu site I think the amp draw specs are max amps at the max rated voltage. The watts should be basicly equal on all winds. Lower kv motors will naturally have an efficiency advantage due to the lower currents they use to make the same horsepower.

Sure I'd like to see more CC MMM motors offered....but the fact that they are only going to initially offer a 2200kv motor is not going to sway me (or other enthusiasts) one way or another. Neu 1515 motors are "cheap" right now...$245 on Neu's website! These are proven motors and that's some of the best pricing I've seen in a while. The way I see it is that if folks want more selection in kv, they will buy it directly from Neu. After all, we always have in the past...why should anything change now? The "genuine" Neu motors (not the CC version) are certain to still be better in terms of quality...which is what I use as a guiding principle for most of my purchases. If I am building a special rig or if I have a special application, then I will still probably go with a Neu.

I am not going to sit here and beat up CC for not offering more kv motor selections. I can control that myself by purchasing the very best motor money can buy from Neu. However, what I will beat up CC for, is not cowboying up and getting the MMM product to market before the foreign competition got theirs out on the street. But its not just CC...there are others that in my view that are also guilty and have been asleep at the wheel. I have to tell you...the expectation is pretty high at this point and time for the U.S. market to come up with something truly spectacular...namely a HV ESC that blows the competition away.

I think an HV MMM would've been the perfect controller. Like I said before, have it handle up to 12S lipos and I know a controller that handle 12S can also handle 6S. Then the choice for a motor would've been huge. Just picture a Mega ACn22/50/2E running 12S of the little 2200 or 2500mAh cells. A few guys would probably a Plettenberg Bolido n a 5th scale. It's funny how Schulze has a huge array of controller and Castle has the ability to do that, but they are lacking behind. Yes, Castle has better programming and awesome features in the controllers they make, but where is the HV version for vehicles?
