Great news. Does CLL mean Castle link on iPod? But not on PC yet?

No, it means the protocol is supported -- but today, the only device that will use it for data is the Traxxas radio supplied with the XO-1.

Thanx!

Eeek, well, sorry -- USB on the Mamba Max can't really be supported -- sorry -- the hardware in the USB chip cant be updated.

We got a little burned by being an early-adopter on the hardware...

So don't expect the on-board USB to be updated. Again, sorry!

no big, I probably won't update till i get a MMM or MM pro. By then my MM will probably be retired to spare status

the link still takes me to the download of version 3.41.1?

Refresh the page Bazzokajoe. Mine did the same thing.

Just downloaded it and hocked my MMM up to the new Software
Big suprise there

My MMM does have an adjustable BEC now

Is this part of the new Software or is my MMM just fancy ?

bruce750i · 02.23.2012, 12:28 PM

^That's nice! The Extreme does not have the adj bec feature along with the two minute inactive beep option. WTF! I need my 2 minute beep option!

My (Traxxas) Mamba Extreme default settings were.

3.2 lvc,5.0 TC,4.0 arming time,low start power,10 degrees of timing,0 drag,50% reverse.

Thanks Castle!

Yea, mine has the same thing

BTW, Bruce, why didn't you just press the Print Screen button instead of using a camera? lol

Ok, so whats it take to adjust these settings through the TQi via CLL, are we STILL waiting on that feature?

Seems like Castle has done their part, should I go be dicky on the Traxxas site?

bruce750i · 01:58 PM

Lol agreed, I haven't acquired that skill set yet. Would it still need to go through a photo hosting site? I am on two different cpus today but that's no excuse.

Ducati777, I'll guess that "USB live mode" will offer more features like that in the future.
