MambaMax ESC quirk

[Serum]

I thought it did Daf. But the BK controllers you are mentioning; are they used in the big fat 1/5th BL FG's? (they use a duct for cooling, correct?)

[BrianG]

Seems like all the controllers are a matter of give and take. Doesn't seem to be any that offer the best of everything of price, high current (150A+), high voltage (10s+), programmability, features (working brake, etc), reliability and efficient/adequate cooling.

I agree with BrianG, to get everything it would be a $1,000 esc and it wouldn't fit very good. The closest to perfect that i have seen is the Mamba Max, for the price it delivers most of the things we want, the only things it falls short on ( not to put down) are high cell counts(5s tops) and problems with 4 pole motors.

With any luck castle will address both with the updated software and the increased capacity of the monster mamba maxx!

The last i heard they would use the same foot print, but taller. I'd like to see the HV setup used as the heat sinks for it

Why would you need such a high amp draw with a hi voltage to?
If you run 50 volts of battery.
You draw 150 amps of juice.
You talking 7500 watts of power.
That would be great for a large 1/5 or 1/4 scale vehicle.

True, but you have more options. If you want lower voltage at high current, or vice versa, or both, you're all set. I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it...

It will be nice when the MMM lives up to its expectations! I hope it will handle 8S, that would be awesome!

[Serum]

Yeah, a bit of over-dimensioning won't hurt. I am curious what kind of motors they will include. I can't believe they aim for a high KV non-segmented solution again.

[Procharged5.0]

I wish the MMM was here. I'd have ordered one already!

Instead......I'll be ordering a MM and a Neu 1515/1y once Mike has has them back in stock. I'll step up to the MMM once it hits the streets.

[coolhandcountry]

Yeah you got a point. Better to have and not need it.
If you need it and don't have it. Then there is ussually smoke.
I hope the mmm is more than what I expect.
I will gladly buy one.
They could base it on the hv110 version. That will do 36 cells or 12s lipo.
I could live with that. Maybe right at its peak but oh well. :D

[smhertzog]

I run 4s lipo so huge voltage capacity doesnt interest me I would like to see it get rid of the cogging at startup that is the only problem I have with the Max. A nice segmented high efficiency motor with a finned case 5mm pinion 12 guage wires and kv ratings from 2400-1500 would be icing on the cake.:043:

I was refering to the heatsink setup, but the extras would be nice

I like the mm esc but will def pick up the mmm when it comes out..

I agree, sorry Mike but i watch castle's site everyday and when they start taking orders I'll have one or two on reserve

this is what i was refering to, when i said i wanted the hv heatsink http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...ix_hv-110.html Look at the esc in the corner
