The BEC seems as strong as the MMM - had no issues with RX dropping or Servo losing power

Can the MMM deliver 5A over the BEC? I thought for some reason the BEC in the XL could deliver more current then the BEC in the MMM but I may be off base.

Hi guys, do You know what's happened with Mamba XL sale ?

I mean, on Castle site there is now a direct link for 2038 motor, while the page for Mamba XL is not reachable from "products for driving" section (it can be find only through a search within Castle), besides on that page the option for "buy it" has been removed.

I realized that at least on user of the Forum has received the combo, so I'm a bit puzzled about the real status of the product.

Bye, Andrea.

well I think its just not the time for the official release....on the other sales pages from the link bellow they are also not in stock, but it seems you will have to be a bit more patient.
Or you can buy from Castle directly using their phoneservice like the one on this board did.

The initial run of XL ESCs was 250 (per Patrick) so I expect they are running low on stock and since it hasn't been officially released yet they are not allowing too many orders to stack up. I don't think the motors require assembly in the states but the ESCs do at least in part.

Does it means that the full initial stock will be available at Castle only ?

I'm asking this because almost all online store doesn't have the XL in stock (including big names like Tower)

Bye.

Did anyone else receive the combo? I was hoping for shipping this week but I never heard back, since Castle is closed for the rest of the week looks like it's January.

I didn't know that they were closed. Guess no other products will ship to us this week.

I called on my order earlier this week and was told my XL wouldn't ship till late next week :-( bummed.

Hi, unfortunately I have been swamped with work and just general life stuff. I had a chance to mock up some things but I need to either make or get Mike to make an adapter plate for the 2028 to fit as it is smaller than the Neu 2230 and doesn't have the same bolt spacing. My CNC mill is on the fritz so it may be a little while. I haven't really had over a few hours to myself for at least a week straight! :oh: I'll let you know when I get anything done.

Riko 01.03.2011 06:48 PM

cewl! :)

Mike has a 30mm to 45mm Adapater all made up... Its visible in the Baja Conversion manual...

What is actual bolt spacing on 2028 and 2230 ?


Thank You, Dejan
