Castle Creations Mamba Monster maxx ready for release
 

They are making a 1515 1Y 2200kv version of the neu...

They are planning on selling pinions too and custom battery trays

They also had a proprietry motor mount for a 777

Here are some pics I swiped...

Nice. So does the MM have a usb port?

Thanks for the pics Chris! This is sweet.

I will be buying a few of these combos as I have a few dual tray vehicles and the 2200kv motor is great for 4s. I know that i will not be exploiting the Monster Max to its full potential on 4s, but it should be rock sold.

did you get these pics from rc x?

The pics are from RCX... I don't believe it has USB on board I believe it is castlelink...

I can live with that, so long as my PC works with it- XP = good ya?... lol.

the esc is a monster LOL

Its big, but for the price, who cares

Damn, couldn't they make it a bit smaller. It looks like a C4...well..sort of.

I see where they got the name monster from

How were the motor wires connected to the esc?

In this photo you can see the battery tray

i have a mac will i be able to use the mmm

Gosh darn it I want that motor...

If you boot your mac into XP...

I like the idea, but those trays don't look strong enough to handle the stress that racers place on them. I would much prefer a chassis that is the correct width instead of bolt-on dirt guards. Might be heavier, but worth it for the strength IMO.

BTW: Nice pics of the MMM and motor! I like how Castle's motors have the leads coming out the side rather than the rear like a "real" Nue. I assume they are building them like the Mamba Max motors where the motor wires are flexible? Probably a good idea to keep people from breaking the motor wires.

Just found this pic of the MMM in the new E-Revo:

Looks big enough to slap some wheels on it and drive it around. :lol:

But hey... If it works I guess you just have to strap it to the top of the wing.:mdr:

The MMM seems to be sized just right. Specially if you've seen the 40.160.

according to the info on rc caractions site the mud guards will be made out of a different plastic then the ones pictured.

God this is killing me, Anyone find out when the package will be released. I mean when it is projected to be released. And if I am correct as was mentioned before we are looking at $300.00 for the package right? Absolutly nutz

Last quote I heard was "summer" from Patrick somehwere on this board. I dont think anyone knows more than that yet.

Here is a short Vid of the MMM I found
http://64.182.121.81/rcx/MMM_RCX_4-19-2008.AVI

after looking at all the pics....and this vid....and traxxas' new e-revo......:yipi:.....i believe i'm going to be buying two of these...one for my 8ight-t and one for for e-revo......:intello: .....holy mamba batman!!!!!:gasp:....can't wait.....:tongue:

The motor can looks like an align 600XL. Nice!

Motor looks to be about 40mm in diameter. I am not very familiar with the neu finned cans, but they are about 43mm in diameter? Looks good, can't wait to get my hands on one!

Yep 43.8mm finned, 39.6mm smooth.

I like the look of that motor, hopefully they still look like that when it's released. Looks much better suited to the e-revo than the old titans and that dodgy evx-2.

@brianG; yes, those wires are flexible; one of the users of the CC team mentioned it somewhere. The wires are, unlike the normal neu motors, flexible silicone wires.

The OEM controller won't use plugs either; it will come with wires, to compensate the short wires that use to be on motors.

Sweet stuff. One more day till we can preorder. I can't wait.

Just watched the video. That motor looks sweet. The big bolts holdint it together are a great idea. I haope they bring out a few more KV options but i'm sure they will. Actually thats probably the motor I will need cause I want to run a 4s buggy soon.

More Monster Max
 

Here are more pictures of the MMM. The Castle staff on hand said it will go on sale in two weeks.

threads merged..

CC/NEU Motor 1515 2200kv
 

Rumor going around that it is going to be out mid May :surprised: Anyone else heard this?

and another one merged.

Any idea on when motor out?

Hmmm....the motor seems like a Hacker C40 at first glance.

When the mm esc hits the shelves it will be a FEEDING FRENZY!!!
I'll bet they will sell out w/ in 24hrs.

I dont think so. I think if you order one you should be good cuz they wont start shipping out until two weeks after so what you paying for is basically a back order and in the mean time that will be making more. Atleast from my understanding you will have 1 week to order then straight from castle creations for a cheaper price. Then after that week is up you will no longer be able to buy them from castle creations and you will have tp get them from a distributer.

Man, I am telling you this is gonna not only make my truck sick in speed. But killer in the looks dept. Glad Castle isnt going to make em green this time around. I was gonna try something else out. But I think I will just wait for the whole package. The problem I am having with just the ESC is that they said the ESC would be released with the wires already soldered in rather then the plugs. I would much rather have the plugs for sure. HV bananna plugs. Now if someone would make a 3 pronged plug like the Losi 2 pronged that holds the bananna tips. This design seems a little nicer and more acessable to handle
