Slightly lower current handling than the Mamba Max, but adds a switching BEC, up to 5S operation, fan option, better heat sink, and a 5 pin "feature" connector (that can be used for hybrid sensored/sensorless operation.)
The Mamba Max will remain in production -- mostly because some people will want the higher current capability of the Mamba Max. The Pro has slightly lower current handling because we decided to add features but keep the cost similar (fewer FETs, but better heat sink and other features.)

I feel like this MM pro product is missing the mark by a bit. What is really needed is a controller between the MM and the MMM. Give me a MM current handleing capability and footprint , 5s voltage capability and a built in switching BEC (6V!!!) and you have youself a real winner for the 1/8 buggy market in my mind. The MM doesnt have the voltage capability or switching BEC and the MMM is just to dang big to be ideal in a 1/8 buggy. The conroller I described would be a direct bullseye.
I think reducing the current capability from the MM is a big mistake and will limit the usefullness of the controller. (who needs 5s in a rustler???) Why call it a pro add features and reduct the capabilites. You should call the product you described the Sidewinder pro.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just not understanding the reasoning hear. The pro version of anything RC costs more than the standard version, so why couldnt the Pro MM be a bit more expensive than the standard and keep the same current capabilities.
EDIT: Will this be marketed toward 1/10 or 1/8 buggy?
