Should I just wait??

[neweuser]

I agree, but you never know. I would get something in the meantime.....but that's just me.

[coolhandcountry]

Yeah they got a point on the mamba maxx. It was like it was ready to come out for a year or more.

[jhautz]

Once we hear that the Beta testers got their units to test then I would plan a few months at best. And thats if they don't find anything major in the beta testing. Until then its all just talk and if you ask castle they will not commit to anything. I personally wouldn't wait. It could be 3 months (at best) and it could be another year IMO. Remember how long we waited for the Mamba Max. It took a good year longer than everyone was expecting. 3 months from now they will be saying only 3 more months.:007: :032:

CC is fast to advertize, but seems to be very slow to deliver. Granted.. when they do deliver you can pretty much count on a quality product.


EDIT: And if you have the Quark Neu , you wont even want the MMM. You will be VERY happy with the performance.

Ok, as soon as I gather up the funds, I will get a Quark NEU, unless a MMM comes out before I do that. thanks.

Good lad, you know it makes sense :), and you wont be disappointed.

Afterthought, does the Quark have a programmable LVC, and if it doesn't, can someone reccomend a good LVC for 6S Lipo? (doubt I will be runnin THAT much power, but better safe than sorry)

[BrianG]

The Quark has pre-set LVC settings that you can choose ranging from 2.2v/cell to 3v/cell. I wish they had a 3.1v and even 3.2v/cell settings though...

The manual was downloadable from the S&T website, but seems to be unavailable at the moment...

Edit: Found the manual elsewhere online...

From my way of seeing it, I'd rather have it now. If the MMM does come out on time, odds are that it will be very reasonably priced and you'll already have a Neu motor to run with it.

I don't have a Quark/Neu combo. I wish I did, but considering all of the rave reviews and comments made about this combo, I don't think that anyone could say that they regretted getting it, regardless of the price of the MMM combo a few months from now.

I just had recently installed the Neu 1515 1Y on my G2r revo with a Quark Monster pro on it,by my experience in brushless set ups from the early explosive shulze to not so much amps hacker , C50 maxx,hacker XLs this Neu/Quark combo is by far the best I've ever used especially in racing.No temp problems using the RCM heatsink I bought and the Neu motor is not even warm to touch given I'm using fans on both of them.But I can run all day with this set up and practise all day the only thing that limits me is Batteries unless I have tons of them

Like everyone said, you could be waiting for the MMM longer than you anticipate. Besides, if you can afford the Quark/Neu combo now, go ahead and get it. If the MMM system is as affordable as the MM system, relatively speaking, then you could get that too, when it comes out.

I've been thinking about the MMM myself, but I read someplace that the motor is going to be a 2000kv motor. I was excited about it when I read that, but have since then, started running 5S. I'm running that on an 8XL right now, which is a bit less than 2000kv. It's stupid. Way too much power, especially for a track. My next motor is going to be in the 1500-1700kv range for the track. I like running the 5S. Everything is running cooler, so I'm just going to accommodate the voltage.

[gixxer]

aangel is that on your compro or the mamba? I have been running 5s on a 9xl and think its pretty good. I haven't tried it on the track yet but hope to soon. I also think my next motor will be in the 1700kv range. Hoping mike gets in the 1515 neu 2.5d soon.

I run the same system in my maxx and also love it! I geared for 16/40 with the slipperential and I have plenty of speed and torque. My temps are "cool runnins"!!! Great combo!

gixxer,

I started running the 5S to take advantage of the Compro's being able to do it. I don't know if you read about it, but I've had nothing but trouble with my Compro and it's going back to Mike so that he can make sure that it isn't me doing something wrong. Since I have so many MMs laying around, I put one of those back into my Muggy and am running that on 5S.

My Muggy weighs 13lbs and is a chore for the MM to get moving. I've had to watch the gearing to make sure that the motor doesn't try to draw too many amps. When you over gear a MM with that much of a load, it starts to cog. With one MM, it cogged and I didn't catch it. Toasted the ESC. I just put a lighter set of tires on it and reduced the pinion by 1 tooth. Now, I'm not having any problems. I'll just keep running this until my new Compro comes in and I can get the truck geared right. I think I'm running under geared for the motor, but it's all the esc will take.

Running the MM in a heavy 1/8 scale truck is definitely on the the ragged edge of what the MM is capable of.

[jhautz]

AAngel,

What gearing are you running? Tires? Motor? I'm thinking about doing a SAvage with a MM on 5s w/ a 9xl. Understanding your gearing ratio on a 13lb truck should help me with my 13lber.

[glassdoctor]

I'm thinking about trying 5s on a MM... I'd like to hear how many have done that and if everyone had problems or just a few.
