Nice review, thank you sparky, I am very much looking forward to getting mine back.

Did patrick say they would let us trade a V1 in on a V2 at no charge?

yes but we will have to wait until all broken v1's are sent out to the customers:cry: I to have a v1 that works great but want to send it in for the V2 so i dont have to worry when mine will die.

Does anyone know if they changed the fan plug on the bottom of the board on the V2?

Any update?

I wonder if they made a production run this week?

mmm recomendation
 

hi mate im converting my lst2 and i have a bl revo are these the combos you would recomend for these trucks ive cooked two esc (m tronics and a quark monster pro ) in my revo so far and getting a bit fed up with it i run it on the strobe slipper ofna spur and a 16 tooth pinion with 2x 7.4 5000mah 25c lipos at 14.8 on a single speed emax gearbox 40 series wheels with max mulcher tyres my motor is a nue 1515 but im goint to try for a purpose built combo any help woulb be great as i cant aford to keep cooking speed controllers
sorry if this is in the wrong thread guys

Your 1515 should do wonderful with the Monster Max ESC. I would not bother with a combo since you already have the 1515. The castle 2200 is just an inexpensively built Neu. If you need another motor for something else, then the combo might be a good idea.

nue 1515
 

the only reason i was going for the combo is cos i need a complete set for the lst just want to get the right motor for it
and i use the nue in the revo and i have spoke to a few people say the reason why i may have cooked my esc's is becouse of the motor
please forgive my lack of knowledge on bl set ups still trying to understand it all

Which neu do you have exactly (kv rating or wind)?

Fyi, read here: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13635

:yes:

type of motor
 

hi mate i have the 1515/1.5d kv 2700

How long it takes that MMM V2 will be in the stock ? If its not taking a long time, I would buy MMM.

The 1.5d should be a great motor for the LST2. I'm considering that one for my LST too. Generally, lower kv motor's and higher pinion tooth counts lead to happier, cooler running components. The problem on the LST is that you have to be maxed out on your gearing options(FOC w/swap mod, 59t TiNi spur and 25t pinion) to achieve race pace capability(not quite 37m.p.h.). I haven't looked at the 1.5d on Brian's Speed Calculator yet but it should should enable you to either run without the swap mod, keep the 63t stock spur, or run a smaller pinion and still maintain an adequate pace to be competitive at the track. I'm gonna start with the 2200 because I'm not financially able to fork out for the motor yet and it will be less expensive to get the combo once they are available as well as I'll need another V2 MMM anyway.

.... So one real test and no followup?

We are about to go back into Wild Speculation Mode...

Updates please!

Monster V2 Beta update!
 

Monster V2 Beta update!
Last weekend I ran in the HARC series sportsman class. My RC8 was running awesome! I got there 9:00am and did a few practice runs. The ESC and the suspension were both working great. The race had 3 qualifiers then the mains. There were about 30 people in the sportsman class with three or four heats. I won all three of qualifiers and also had the top qualifying time. I was very happy with both my car and the way it drove. Many people stopped by to check out the electric buggy that was proving to be a real contender. It was hard to work on my car between the races for all the questions people were asking.
I was really excited for the main, but it didn’t turn out like I had hoped. I started in first place since I had TQ’d. On the first lap my car felt funny jumping the double double. Then a few laps later my car stopped. Dam! I took it back to the pits to look it over. The motor had slipped away for the diff gear. O well, that is the way racing goes. You never know what is going to happen. However, it was still a very successful day to see an electric RC8 dominate during the qualifiers. I can’t wait for the next race!
