No go for me man... I downloaded the new firmware (CURRENT CASTLE LINK VERSION: 3.255)... turned on the esc... the lights come on...
the fan starts up high and then settles when the yellow lights start to blink (but stays on a slower spin rate)... the Light react to the throttle
positions, forward, reverse and neutral... but no movement.

GO to the original firmware. then I went back to the brand new stuff, ( I got an error the first time), so old, new, than reinstall new.

and mine is back from the dead.

Still the same result... Do I send it to Castle for them to have a look at it?

You are using the Castle Link device to do the update right (not the direct USB port)?

Is the starting algorithm different? Mine seems a bit choppier...

Any insight?

Yes, I noticed it too, the noise is different, and the reverse is strange too.

Inferno VE MMv3 NEU-CC 1515/1Y 4S "Flying machine"

MBX5T Prospec MMv3 NEU-CC 1520/1Y 6S "Overkill Flying machine" ;)

Brushless, what else ?

Do you mean it cogs when you're making a slow start?

I put the latest firmware (as of yesterday afternoon) and I have noticed that it sounds a little different at low speed and it cogs more. Reverse is also rougher. I haven't changed any settings, only the firmware.

They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.

This new firmware upgrade has me wondering some things:

#1. Since Torque is being controlled, will the amp spikes be tamed in proportion to the Torque Setting?

#2. Will there be an efficiency gain by running higher Voltage and taming the setting for how the motor is controlled?

Example:

Castle Neu 2200kv on 6S versus Castle Neu 2200kv on 4S

The 6S setup is "tamed" with torque control and throttle limiting to mimic the performance of the 4S setup. But the 4S setup is set to "all out" performance. Both setups geared the same in.......ummmm........let's say an E Revo.

The switching of the fet's on the powerboard will still conduct the full pack voltage, only the "off" time will be longer than the "on" time with 6S, compared to the 4S setup.

#3. I'm also wondering if these "tame it down" settings would allow using higher kv motors on higher than rated voltage?

Temperatures being the overall guide, of course.

I just tried the latest firmware update on my Mamba Max Pro.

IMO, this won't be the final update. I believe there are still some things they are working on to refine these new settings.

Stay Tuned. I'm sure we will all know when this is perfected.
