Are you planning a SHV (20S+) controller for cars?

Don't think at this point we will do a 12S (or 10S) specific monster -- the ICE hardware just works really well. The ICE-160HV should handle pretty much anything that you can throw at it. :intello:

With Forward, Brakes, reverse correct?

And are the current ICE controllers capable of running the Mamba software?

This is great news. :yes:

I have some 8S and 10S setups that I've been itching to put together.

Could this be something we get for Christmas?

So the Ice HV will have car specific firmware? sweet!


and is there any hardware changes to the Mamba monster to utilize the data logging feature?

Patrick: I'm trying to clarify this here. The new ICE-HV controllers run the ICE Hardware now which allows for 12s operation as well as data logging. These controllers will be accepting of the Mamba software to run in car operations. With that said, the ICE hardware will still allow for datalogging in the Mamba software operation?

Yes, we are going to port the Mamba software to the ICE platform, and integrate the datalogging capabilities at the same time.

We are not going to incorporate data logging into the current version of the Mamba Monster -- it doesn't have the necessary hardware to do data logging. (I want to make sure nobody gets their hopes up that a download would add data logging features on the MMM.)

So the HV160 for air will be available before the car campatable version one would assume. Can these be pre-ordered then updated with the new software when it becomes available?

I want that ICE 160 NOW, Patrick! I am holding my breath until you send me one. 1...2...3...

Unless the ESC has the hardware to support logging (Hall-effect sensor, flash memory, etc), no download will support data logging. The MMM, MM does not have the supporting hardware, and I am 99.9999999% sure the MMPro doesn't have it either.

If yes, what motor would be a good fit?

Great news by the way. I have been waiting for such a controller for a real long time.

Are you asking if Castle would release a product and not back it up:oh:? I suppose it's possible that they'll release a firmware swap for it with a disclaimer that any damage won't be covered under warranty (though they'll probably still cover it as long as you don't deliberately burn it up). If they're releasing a car-specific model I have every confidence that they'll have out backs on it. I'm still twiddling my thumbs waiting for that Marine version...



Up to 12s lipo at up to 160 amps, by my math that's over 7,000 watts with the lipos at nominal voltage. That should be plenty to handle a 1/5th scale.

I would say it depends on your application. MasterBlaster's Baja has a Neu 2215 in it and it goes like stink! The highest KV I would go for is the 2Y on 10S, go lower KV and more voltage if you can. A Neu 2230 will power any 1/5th scale R/C currently on the market as long as the ESC and lipos can handle it but that is a $700 motor capable of putting out over 13 HP.

How about the boat version? That's the one I'm really interested in. Just waterproof it, add water cooling, and toss the Hydra software on it already!

On the way soon (a couple months most likely.) We just finished the design for the water cooled heat sink, and are waiting for the water cooled extrusion samples.
