lol :rofl:

NICE

:grrrrrr:

ok thanks for the help

hehe. People of ze world, relax! I was jus pokin' a bit of fun. I've not seen the fabled feuiego 8XL Wanderer in person, and am curious to see it's stellar performance!!

AFAIK the MMM should be 6s capable.

J.

Yes, that is what Joe Ford told me.

ok cool but i think i am going to get the tekno kit it comes with a 4 cell lipo and a mamba max esc and a motor and a fan and a bce for 630

i have another thread going, but might aswell ask here.. would the 8XL be my best bet with the MMM when trying to keep my cost down?

i do am not know but you should call tekno i did that to day and they know what they are talking about so call them they have really support and the guy i talked to runs the brushless set ups and just really good people

no offense, seriously. but you just made no sense on what you just said.

:surprised:how are we going to take temps on the MMM?:neutral:

hey paralyzed, how fast is your 6.5 novak emaxx?? you happy with it? whats the setup? i am almost done with waiting for this MMM to come out and i blew my titans lastnight.

just call tekno or go no the web sight

8XL ok but you may wish to consider an align 600xl which is a bit more but I believe better quality and would take more V's to match the MMM.

PS and as this is the RCM site try mike at RCM however there are lots of people here with experience to guide you.

i have never heard of that. then again, i have 20 post, you have 1000... so i think you know a bit more than me..

i have 1 post

rectal thermometer:lol:

i am might mot get it

Hi tha5150,

I'm not sure what vehicle you're running but I have tried the 8XL using a 12020, 5S lipo on 13/46 gearing for my buggy. Wickedly fast. Dare I say faster than most nitro buggies in a track situation.

Anyway, the esc held up but the battery gets too warm. So u have to make sure the batteries are up to it. By all indication, the MMM should be the same or better in terms of performance so it should work happily. I have moved to a 9XL to keep battery temps down.

In addition, I'm in the tropics where ambient temperature & humidity are all off the scale. So, if you're running in cooler climate, that's even better.

Regards,
Joe Ling

PS : Mike is still keeping silent on my request for pre-order :cry:

i am doing a revo conversion

Hmm, from what I can gather novak relicensed the feuiego 8XL Wanderer from neu who originally had the lmt guys design it and a small chinese company named mega produced them in a limited volume to be sold as hacker's low line motors. However this did not pan out. I have a feeling that Kontronik had something to do with it, as thier budget plettenberg line did not need any more competition. Feel free to move the mfg names around until that last few sentences makes sense.

BTW it sounds mexican to me, and lord knows I can't speak latin so my chances of reading the specs are unlikely, unless I can find a canadian, those guys are usefull. If all else fails I can always consult an irish to english dictionary, but that is always a fight.

Nice lincpimp :)

Hey joeling, how many mah and c-rating were the lipos that got hot with the 8xl?

Hi Doc,

I'm using a 2S & 3S 4000mah Maxamps lipo (20C) in series for 5S. With a 8XL, I think I'm seeing 89A bursts under hard acceleration. Battery temps after 15 - 20 minutes was around 45 deg C + to nearly 50 deg C. These data has to be read in conjunction with ambient temperatures of around 33 to 35 deg C.

Maxmaps are relatively small & they fit into the buggy.

Regards,
Joe Ling

thanks joeling, I was curious as I'm going to build a hyper7 with 6S the MMM and a 9xl, so about the same amp draw. I have had some issues with my max amps lipos and will go with a better brand for my next ride, I think their 20C rating is a little inflated next to how they react to a heavy load. I think I'll either go with a 5000mah/20C or a 4000mah/25C setup, hopefully the increase in voltage will offset the amp needs.

Nomadio:rofl: or not worry about it.........it's a CC.

thanks for the info

Sweet some one else has a nomadio. I love that radio. It is the best in the world IMO. Everyone i talk to are like Nomadio, who is that? I just say you are missing out!:lol::na::na::mdr:

so does anyone know when this thign will really be out? i got a brushless revo sitting here waiting for a good esc. im about to just get a mamba max since i am only running 3s... but it is on a 6pole...

My project has been put off until the MMM is out

i saw that on the r-monster stor they have a esc that can handle a 10 cell lipo nd 32 cell ni-mh but it is 450

Why Can't They Give Us A ETA Or Price? Anything?

http://i30.tinypic.com/1672xrt.jpg

Just to let you know the MM and the MMM will be using the same firmware v1.17 so if you are only using 3s and don't need to pull 110+ amps then the MM will work just as well on your 6 pole motor as the MMM because the firmware is not different.

have you even read this thread? ETA and MAP price have both been announced.

ETA on a forum is 14th but doesn't really mean nothing as there is nothing officially mentioned on their website

I wish they would because i am on a small budget and i need to know when to buy my parts.

im going to run on only 4s with a 7xl, but im still choosing the mmm because if i was to get the mm, i will still need the fan and the cc bec which will add up to just about 30-50 bux cheaper than a mmm. and with the mm i will sorta have to worry about heat issues esp. when summer comes around whereas with the mmm for 50bux more, i wont have to worry bout a thing. and if i ever do decide to run on 6s, i will have the option there for me.
i dunno ...this is just me i think its worth the wait. ive been wanting to go bl on my 3905 since i got the truck which is only like 2 months ago, and i almost just went with the mm, but now that the mmm is sooo close, imma waitin.

Well, how much more official can you get than by reading the words of the president of Castle on this forum?

If he can't give you a firm absolute date, then NOBODY can.

So when you ask: "Why can't they give a date", it's simply because they CAN'T.

ETA and Pricing
 

Well guys, this is what it looks like so far:


The Mamba Monster was not originally scheduled in April production, so we currently working the production of the Monster circuit boards into the schedule.

We are still waiting on cases from our plastics supplier (we only got a few cases (5 pcs) in for fit testing so far, those were approved and 2500 cases for our first production run were ordered.)

We are still waiting on final release of the "Quick Reference Guide." -- This is needed for specific information on the Monster that isn't covered in the "Drivers Ed" manual.

We are still waiting on stickers for the case. (Design for the stickers was late in completion -- they were ordered on April 3rd.)

Note that the ESC "only" version will have wires with bullets, and not just the SMT bullets like on the show version -- we decided that would be easier for the end-user as some motors come with pretty short wires.

So -- It is looking like we should be shipping before the end of April -- my personal target date is 25 April for first batch, but we still need a few things (like cases) to be delivered from suppliers.

Thanks!

Patrick


Oh, and BTW: Pricing will be $199.95 (list) and 170.95 (map) We don't believe in the same kind of stupid list and map pricing that other manufacturers use, like a $500.00 list with $150.00 map -- that just doesn't make sense.

Thanks for the update Patrick. The best news yet!!
