Well the price sounds good, I am sure that it will have to be closer to 350 once it hits the shelf. Cost to the dealer is around 100 for the mm so the mmm will probably be at or over 150. This is just for the esc. With the motors the mm combo is about 175 dealer cost. Add in the fact that the mmm is coming this a neu motor?! and that the mm motor is some sort of feigao derivative(hacker clone) price should be between 300 and 350. Keep in mind that neu motors are costly due to lower production requirements, due to lower overall demand. Couple this MMM system coming out close to the new Emaxx release and it could be a potention sales success. I am sure that castle has worked a deal with neu on a bulk purchase, or at least continued quantity purchases to keep the price down. Coupled with the 150 or so cost for the esc, motor costs would be around 125 to 150. Adding in markup puts it around the 300 to 350 mark.

I also wonder is CC will sell the MMM motors seperately? I realy can't see them doing this, around 150 to 175 for a neu motor? That would cut into neu's sales quite a bit!

The arrival of the CC MMM would hopefully spur the mfgs to make some dedicated 1/8 scale electric rcs, or conversion kits at least. And hopefully a larger, or multi cell version of a trakpower or similar cased lipo will also be offered. This would ensure that the "unwashed masses" could put a decent electric system together at the LHS without needing special parts or fabrication. It would most likely not compare to scratch built sytems, but it is certainly a start, and will lower prices on all of the related components too!
