Phsaw! That's easy to get around. Just use two 50v batteries "in parallel" (wink wink) and then when the voltage police aren't looking, pop them in series. And, just underrate the ESC voltage-wise.

If 22xx stuff comes out I vote for MMMM - Massive Mamba Monster Max

I made a promo pic - Truth is I didn't use photoshop or any commercial software. Don't tell anyone. :whistle:

Well, the Heli version is for sale.

The car version is now in stock (very limited qty) at Castle, but we don't have packaging for it yet. We'll have it on the website for purchase very soon.

We also have 1512/1.5Y (1800Kv), 1518/1Y (1850Kv), and 1520/1Y (1650Kv) motors in stock now in very limited quantity. But again, the packaging is not available yet, and they won't be available for purchase from dealers until we have more stock available, and packaging is available.

Very exciting stuff there patrick!! Now I will continue the read. lol

Big Motors!
I love them things.
Brings back memories of my 2250.
Nice job Castle on the new additions.
Sorry been away so long.
Lack of money has kept me away.

Good to see you back!

ROFL @ Metallover!

Maybe that's what we need -- user submitted advertising!

Nice! how long is the 1518?

I don't even like having to say "Mamba Monster".. makes me sound like a mumbling (or bumbling?) idiot. Not Castle's fault tho :)

I think you guys could do better on flashy naming, maybe like the NCC-1701 1717 XR4ti
Type R Limited Edition zXSVT... Beauville.

Or maybe something shorter?

Been waiting for that 1518 to come out for a long time! I have a home for one as soon as they're available, my RC8T needs more power! Can't wait to see what kind of power it lays down, eagle tree is waiting for some more testing!

The 50V limit I'm guessing is in the lethal range for DC?

Still that's an odd regulation.

Metal: "If 22xx stuff comes out I vote for MMMM - Massive Mamba Monster Max"

I vote shorter.. "Atomic Mamba!" Yes, with the exclamation!

The photo on the box would be a no-brainer:lol:

You won't even be able to buy one without background checks.

Could go with Monster of Mambas.

Nope! You guys just got Drag brakes last week. Go do some crawling.:na:

CE is just over cautious... at those voltages, the current (and heat the current can generate) is much more dangerous than the voltage.

CE won't allow sales with exposed voltages above 50VDC. So no CE approval for anything designed to work with exposed voltages above the "magic" 50VDC.

So when will we see a HV controller(s) for us car guys Patrick. I know an airplane controller can be made to work with a car software and most wanted something like the HV110. I still have my burnt HV110 here and I know it's out of warranty, but I can send it back to you if you want to use the processing board.

Never mind, I just looked at my HV110 and the processing board and the PCB under it is pretty much fried.
