Indeed. Alot of large controllers use double the wires to increase the amp handling, otherwise the wires would overheat and melt. The small controller is about the size of an evx I reckon- you should have a look on the CC website sometime E-maxx king and look at the boat/ plane escs, your eyes will pop out!

I wouldn't pay $500 for the MMM, but $500 for that controller seems ok. If CC open their eyes and make one for car use. I just heard news from the factory that is doing my 200A controller and they said it should be ready tomorrow, but like I said before I will really start talking about it when it is here with me. Funny thing is that they received the components on 08/09/2007 and it seems to be ready. The MMM is going on for almost 2yrs. and still nothing.

lutach, just wondering what kind of software your 200a esc will be running. Will it be good for all the different types of motors? Also, will it have standard programming options, reverse, etc? I am guessing that you have a company that already makes a popular esc and will be using their software and just updating the power output portion of the esc. Answer what you can without giving too much away!!!

They have a lot of great ESC already, but it was only meant for air. I tested a 100A 10S controller from them and it has the best start up I've seen and I used it with the Hacker ION-X motor, the 3688 motor and the Align 600L. All I can tell you is what I asked them to do. It will have features for battery type, cut off, cut off type, Timing, Brake strength, forward/brake/reverse or forward/brake only. You can use up to 15S lipos, but they said to keep it at 14S. One thing I was told by the engineer was that they would make a program card or box to go with the controller to make things easier to program. I can't tell you guys how much I stressed them on how good the brake has to be. So I will test one unit and when I give them the OK, they will make the rest.

Very interested to see your test results.

Any chance they will be sending other test ESCs out so they can have input from more than one person? :)

I will be interested to see how well this esc works out. I belive that you will test it properly, seems as though you do not have any problems will testing stuff till it fails!!! Any idea on pricing, or will that be dependent on quantity?

Lets wait until it is here. I will call Mike and see if he has some time to give it a try. After I get his input, I will give the OK for the rest of the controllers. I only found enough components to make 20 controllers. I will not be adding 2 power boards like I was planning on doing. I'm also waiting for the factory to give me alternate part numbers for the MOSFETs. So the first 20 controllers if I decide to sell them, they might be sold as is until I get a equivalent MOSFET that the factory will agree on. One good new is that they told me it is easier to make a 80 and 100V controller. So I will also be looking into that specifically for the car market. I can't stand the companies that only makes high voltage controllers for the air market.

Good to know, lutach. Thanks for looking out for the car guys. we are not a big market like rc planes, but our stuff is way cooler!!!

Have you thought of a name for the esc yet? A competiton may be in order....

I have to look out for us car guys. I don't fly at all and it sucks seeing great products for the air market and not for the car market. Someone needs to change that LOL.

No name yet. I'm not even sure if I'll put a name on it. This just might be that controller with no name that came out before the Monster Maxx from a simple guy that is not even as big as they are. I basically don't want to say much, I don't want to jinx my controller like CC did theirs.

You should call it the "Black Box", but package it in a bright yellow case just to confuse ppl.

I was thinking about CCK200A14SLM. Man, I'm going to be in trouble when somebody figure that name out ROFL.

Hmm, let's see:
C= Castle
C= Creations
K= ?
200A = Amperage
14S = Lipo cell count
LM= Large Monster
