New Mamba software (beta) posted today - RC-Monster Forums

Went back to v1.26 on the MMP and v1.24 on the MMM, both cars are perfect, smooth as glass, no cog and everything I want the esc to do.

I played with all the settings in I don't know how many combinations and always the same result. Alot of cog then lunging forward, if I kept the throttle at 1/4 it would run smooth (after the initial lunge) for about 5 seconds. Every five or so seconds it would lurch forward again.

I'll be waiting for v1.28, maybe everything will be good then, but currently with v1.26/v1.24 I have no complaints.

When the grip is good, the acceleration and the amp draw is higher (dust vs on road for example)...
So it does not necessary tape the current spikes, but power the motor to get the best grip conditions. More power is given to the ground than temp and amp should not necessary be lower than before.
I am still concerned about the punch control disabled when the torque control is activated, so there is still amp spikes during a kickdown. That's why IMO you can't for the moment use lower C rating batteries... The next version will probably fix this anyway.

I loaded this new firmware and the my MM does not start anymore!!!! the lights only blink.. the BEC comes on and sends voltage to the steering, but that's about it...
no chiming from the motor... no response from the throttle... when i went back to an older firmware, there was no change... what gives??

Help Please...

edit: The fan stayed on the entire time...

Yeah, it does sound similar to my problem... any word Patrick or Thomas? I'm a little concerned here.

Do you have a Castle link? Maybe try to reupdate you ESC with the castle link.

Yep... I used a Castle link... installed the new firmware because it was there and I also wanted the option of increasing Auto LVC to 3.5V per cell... but I when i started up the esc,
there was no chime confirmation, just the lights blinking... went back to the previous firmware and the problem persists... No Chimes, no throttle response and the fan stayed on.
