MMM combos shipping
 

I just talked to Thomas,was told they just started sending the combos out to distributors.Thought some might want to know.

Wow, less than a minute from talking to Thomas to posting on RC-Monster! We are starting to feel like we are being watched. :eyes:

Any view on the conversion kits?

News travels fast Bernie.

Next thing you know, the entire planet knows..

Conversion kits? what did i missed? you guys are not going to put Mike out of business are you?

I was ready to post already,was just verifying before I posted.I'm actually in the jail and have a telescope :)

Check the Monster max web page, they have battery snakes:whistle:

They have had the conversion kits in works for months now. You can download photos of the Castle website

dual batteries on the 8ight? blah!

best news I have had in a while. This must be a freak thing b/c I know for me nothing normaly goes right during the holidays

Any idea when the 2200 motor will ship?
.

The 2650 combos or the 2200 combos? I thought I had read the 2200s would follow later?

Should be the 2200 combos shipping from what I recall.

what is the 2200s

smooth can?

I gather the 2200s is 2200kv sensored?

No, he was simply stating he thought the 2200's would ship after the 2650's. I don't think that is the case though.

I think it was due to months ago when they were designing it, 3S batteries were the largest size legal batteries which is why Castle and Caster went this route

Also for better and easier left-right balancing I think.

Wow,

Let's keep it simple.

2200 KV is our first motor for the Monster system. Finned can. NO SENSOR. It is shipping to distributors now. First batch has finally arrived here, they will likely all be packaged and shipped next week. This setup is great for monster trucks on UP to 6S. You don't have to go to 6S if you don't want to. Still a hoot on less. Distributor shipping / allowances are a black art and shall not be discussed here, please don't ask.

2650 KV is similar to the 2200KV, but not. Shorter can. It is coming soon. Can't even try to give you a date, but not too long.

Conversion kits are taking a painfully long time to get into production. Nothing particularly difficult, but communication with our production forces is a bit tough. Remember, we have to have things made such that they are high quality and as affordable as possible.

So, yes, the 2200 combos are shipping. Give us about 2 weeks and you should see them flooding the usual suspects' shelves. That's a definite 2 weeks, BTW.

So the 2650KV is like 1513? How would it go in a Buggy on 5S? When will the motors be able to be purchased without the ESC?

I think it's a 1512 actually.

5S will be plenty fast.

Motors will be sold individually, nothing likely until January once we catch up on the combos...

Lee

Thanks for the info!

I was meant to type 1511/0 not 1513. 2650KV will be over 40 000rpm on 5S. What makes it like a 2200KV?

i wait for shipping informations =P

The 2200 kv motor will be similar to the 2650 kv motor because both are 1Y wound. The only difference is the length of the motor. Increasing the length increases torque at the expense of rpm. So in other words each motor should handle equally well when geared to go a given speed. The advantages of the 2200 are that it will handle 6s better, has more surface area and volume to deal with heat, and can handle higher gearing. The advantages of the 2650 are that it's smaller sized and less weight.

1st December - are there shippingnews? :D
shipping mails or so?

Hmm maybe Horizon will get theirs also ? I dont want to get my hopes up though just to be let down again :cry:

Are they similar in amp draw to? I´m getting one for my buggy soon but I haven´t decided if it´s going to be the 2650kv or the 2200kv. If I can cet better runtimes with the 2650kv I´ll probably get one of those

Watts is watts. :)

The 2200 is a slight bit more efficient than the 2650, it is a longer winding and that makes a small difference. Nothing that you'll really be able to measure as yielding longer runs.

The 2650 is intended for up to 4S. The main ways to increase run time are to

1. Go slower -- either through lower gearing, lower KV or lower voltage -- fewer cells.
2. Get bigger capacity cells.

Either of these motors will be a huge increase in what you are used to.

Hope this helps.

Lee

When Castle comes out with a 1100Kv version, we will definitely see some big increase in efficiency. It will be nice to go along with the 8S or 10S version of the Mamba Monster. I can't wait.

thatwould be sweet, 10s on anything would be awesome:yes:

Well I got my system today! I am so happy

where are you all getting your combos from. i want!

Where ever you get it though, DO NOT..I REPEAT..DO NOT "buy" it from B-P-P.com (Bishop Power Products)

I use the term "buy" loosely because you'd more be giving them your money in return for nothing than actually buying anything.

In return for 300USD of my money, they given me lies, and no prospect of ever seeing my heard earned cash again.

If you're reading this B-P-P..give me what I bought or give me my money back.

just ordered mine from impaktrc. has anyone used these guys before. how are they

RIGHT!!!!!!!...DONT BUY FROM THIS WEB SITE(TROY OR ANYTHING WHO HAVE OWN THE COMPANY)ME TOO IVE FOR 600$ OF STUFF THAT I NEVER SEE...so last year ive made some purchase from troy...no issue at all but in last few month dont know what happen but the service became to be very POOR,communication is also POOR:diablo:...so keep away from this web site....:yes:

Completely opposite to how B-P-P do business. Ive had nothing but great service from these guys.

Ill be writing a more extensive post later on today and posting it on every known RC forum known to man to try to get everyone who has been scammed by this dodgy company some justice.

Mine CC Combo 22kv is coming form TH with a $75 coupon ordered it on Nov 3 shipped on Dec3 should be at my doorstep on the 10th.

Well , they are'nt coming from Horizon thats for sure ! :cry:
