I see. I was thinking 1:1 motorcycle clutch, not auto

I've seen those and was thinking the traxxas cush drive was more like a bike's rear wheel.

Guys i got an idea for those who intend on buying the XO-1..........swap out the speed controller and the raido/receiver baddabing 100mph instantly with no iphone/ipod app or governer!!!!I myself would run the mamba xl in this to by pass the traxxas's apple scheme i would also advance the timing and 60c or 65c batts!

Then it sounds like a tx and rx swap will unlock the carnage without a iPhone. How would the esc know the mph with only internal sensors?

Hey Guys,

Request from tech support -- PLEASE STOP calling and asking how to get an ESC with BSC011s...

As I said earlier, there's no way to tell from the outside what FETs are in the ESC.

The only way to get a guarantee of the getting an MMM with BSC011s is to buy a Traxxas XO-1.


Right now, the BSC011 is "standard" for a Mamba Monster, but the 4901 is still a suitable sub, because we can't get enough of the BSC011 to meet production for all Mamba Monsters.

Thanx!

But then you will loose the "on the fly" data\speed logging and setting change.

For that price of this car you are really paying alot\premium price for that technology, so its just stupid to swap it out..

I can't believe people are actually bothering you guys with that kind of question! It's not like the new FETs are that much better. People must thing the new FETs make the MMM 120% efficient. :smile:

Conversely, people will probably pay quite a bit for just the ESC/radio combo if you do part it out, so it's really not a big deal IMO.

How many do you need to keep the porduction line going?

i was just saying for conversation what i would do im not buying one ever ever ever ever ever because i personally long ago cracked 100mph in a dirt oval e 36/25 gearing.My personal fastest speed run was 118mph.IM currently working on a neu 1521 2900kv 6s set up we have theoretically geared it for 129mph it will probally run better on 5s though.

Omg really lol! Come on fess up who was it? :diablo:

I was thinking about this earlier, about what a part out would be worth on eBay.

At first I bet that ESC would bring $200ish, and probably settle to $120-150 depending on who wants it and how badly. The motor is a tweaked version of the old 1717 so I'd personally give $200+ for it. Surely the Rx/Tx will be worth something since they're most-likely going to introduce that technology into more vehicles over the coming months, right? Each lipo should fetch $30-$50, then you've still got whatever else I haven't thought of plus the roller. Rollers would probably start out at $300-$400 then settle down to $200-$250 once enough of them hit the market.

im betting your prices are pretty low, i guess we will see, im betting rollers go for 500ish for the first few months and radio's will be over $100

I think you're right, I was keeping it pretty conservative but there's surely money to be made parting them out. At least for the first 3-6 months.

When will these be released?

Release date is set for Dec. 30th (great timing for the holidays, dontchya think? :lol:) but even if you pre-order I wouldn't expect to get one until late Jan. at the earliest. If I can bring myself to buy one it won't be until at least the Spring/Summer when they're easier to come by, but that much $ would get me some nice upgrades for my Mustang--which is money better spent IMO :party:

I figured I would try for one in the early summer.
