So basically they were supposed to have the 6.5mm bullets, but they didn't. I will wait to see what everyone esle has to say and see what everyone will get.

I actually hope mine comes like the one in the pictures with no 6.5's. I already purchased all the 5.5's for my setup and had them soldered onto my Neu 1515 and my battery.

i just hope to receive my mmm this month...

Just got mine out of the mailbox; no bullets so I'm diggin' to see if I have any 5.5 females. Sure would've been nice if they'd have told us so we could order some with our original purchase. Does'nt really matter though, my new 8T won't be here for 5 or 6 days. I actually prefer the wires to the bullets on the controller, must be 10g; they're huge.

Couldn't you just use solder the wires directly into the sockets?

Brian, I think he means that there are just 10 gauge wires comming out and no bullet connectors were included for the end of the wires.

IMO thats fine. I use 5.5mm bullets on everything and would have used them on my MMM anyway even if they provided the 6.5mm just to keep interchangability with everything else.

Also... There is nothing wrong with a direct solder to the motor wires if you dont have any bullets and want to get it running.

[QUOTE=jhautz;170309]Brian, I think he means that there are just 10 gauge wires comming out and no bullet connectors were included for the end of the wires.

That is correct. And just realized my 5.5 females are on the dead Quark so I'm set(when my new ride arrives).

Sorry, misunderstood. My bad...

Chapito - First one! Lets get some detailed pics, soldered up and the first test run!

8s to start with? Be interested to look at s/w options

I hate you Chapito!:cry::cry::cry::lol:

if i dont have the bullet plug in the box...i tink that im gonna remove the plug on the esc and weld the wire directly on it...i want my esc....:yipi:i order one from mike,,there any person here have receive it(person who order from mike)?

I'm going to be dead before I get my MMM. The wait is killing me :cry:. Come on people who have received them. Get pictures get them installed and get video.

Just curious though. Like Drift_Buggy my ship date says 15th of May and I also ordered some 6.5mm bullets. How many other people ordered bullets with theirs and has anyone who did get a shipped notice?

What's up with the external BEC (shown in the picture on the Traxxas site)? The information I saw led me to believe it was internal to the unit?????

Thats not a bec it's the castle link.

I believe that was a picture of the castle link not a bec.

Freakin WOW!It shredds had my connectors on in less than 30 minutes thats a record for me. Its very smooth and the fan realy pushes some air.:whistle:

Some video would do us well :lol:.

MINE ARRIVE TODAY :yipi: BUT....I'M AT WORK FOR 48HRS :cry: ....AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! TOO BAD MY FIANCE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SOLDER B/C AT THIS POINT I'LL LET ANYONE TEST IT OUT...... :tongue:.............

Next day it to me :lol:. I'll add the connectors and test it out :lol:. I would love to see videos of the controller in action. Maybe a few full packs.

Gee it's nice to see someone else works long hours hootie! Just pass the time planning the setup and pulling the imaginary trigger- really hard!

So there was a long black chord, which I assumed was the Castle link. THe other chord was red/black and had a green "thing" on the end with round white sticker on it, and the other end looked like it has a standard servo/reciever plug on it. It looks a lot like the external BEC I got with both my HV-Maxx's.

That's the castle link. It's got a mini USB on one end and the 3 wire plug on the other to plug into the 3 wire plug on the MMM.

Got mine in, very cool indeed. I have a question. What's going to be the best way to mount this to the chassis? The case is built just like the Sidewinder, the Sidewinder I have doubleside taped to the chassis of my CTR.5 popped apart twice until I ran a couple spots of CA to hold it together. I really don't want to CA the Monster. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can use industrial grade velcro or better double sided tape. I use 3M double sided tape that is meant for sticking emblems on full size vehicles. If the surface is cleaned before I stick it down, it's a real PIA to get the part off.

in addition to the velcro you could use a few zip ties as insuarance, my MM I have in my Rustler comes unfastened a little

The USB cable connects to it, the wires on the Castle link connects to the receiver lead on the MMM and the USB goes into computer

Is there any advantages running bullets/connevtors? Only that you can do a quick motor change?
Wouldn't soldering it have low-resistance comparied to bullets/connectors?

Yes, yes and yes. :)

Thanks Driftbuggy.

Mine just arrived. I think I feel a stomach flu coming on and need to leave work for the day. lol the Revo lives again tonight!

congratulation with DickyT....

I'm telling your boss!

...although I can be made to keep quiet for a small fee, which just so happens to be the exact price of a MMM. :wink:

Haha, i wish i could have swung it, but my boss was in the mail room when it arrived and he brought it to me and watched me open it hoping it was an HDD for our exchange server.

I have set a conservative baseline setting to start with via the castle link though. I found in interesting that the fan comes on when plugged into castle link.

Brake - 45%
Drag Brake - 0%
Punch control - 70%
Start Power - Low
Motor Timing - Lowest
Cutoff - Auto Lipo

Defaults on the rest.

I need to goto the LHS and pick up some shrink tube, I am out, then go home, soler on some 5.5 mm bullets, strap it into the truck, plug in the 1515 1y and go! I charged the 5s lipo last night in anticipation.

I may have to take the ESC into the lhs for a bit of show and tell too ;) Being they do not have one yet.

Can someone post the dimensions of the MM for me?

let me find a ruler. give me 10 minutes.

Width 1.8" (45.72mm)
Length 2.1" (53.34mm)
Height 1.3" (33.02mm)
Weight 120.8 grams

Please, i can't wait to hear your comments when you'll have run it for the firt time.
Which motor did you have with it?

Awesome - thanks!!

I have a Neu 1515 1y and TrueRC 5s 8000 mah lipo in an rc-m mount e-revo geared 17/38.

I have to stop by the lhs on the way home tonight and pick up some shrink tube and a little show and tell since they do not have them in stock yet, then I will go home and wire it all up and go for a small test, it will be pushing dark by then. Saturday is my company picnic at a huge park where I can test loose and hard pack dirt, grass, sand and asphault.

I just got an email saying that it is on the way. I ordered mine when you were able to order on the internet
