I don't see a price or any pictures on their site, but 25kw is over 33 horsepower! That's more than a lot of quads/atvs!
This an a Neu 4430 would be insane in any RC vehicle, or maybe a bike? Or CAR?

Me likey!

Assuming they've absolutely fixed the braking issue, those are gonna be some solid controllers. Depending how much cash I get for Xmas there may be one of the 12035's in my future. Knowing me, I'll find somthing else to spend it on, though....

Exactly the same looking as the older versions.

A 120amp 2-6s lipo model costs $199, 160amp is $237; if you want an 8s 140amp esc for your 1/5 conversion it'll set you back $327 and a 15s 140amp model will rape your wallet at a mere $415...

I'd stick to the MMMXL given the choice

I still have a MGM sitting collecting dust in my drawer. I was never able to get the programming smooth enough for my liking above and beyond the brake issue. The one positive I had with these controllers is that they ran cool as can be.

Ever since castle improved dramatically on their controllers, why go anywhere else especially with the new High voltage controllers coming out. You sure as you know what will not get the customer support castle offers if there is a issue


1. MBX-6 T8 1900KV, RX8 ON 4S
2. MBX-5T 1520, MMM ON 5S
3. MBX-5 ONROAD CONVERSION 1515, MMM ON 5S
4. MRX-3 ON ROAD CONVERSION 1512, MMM ON 6S
5. TEN T 2650 T8, MMP ON 3S

I agree Castle is one of the best, and I am quite loyal to them. But that doesn't mean I'm not interested in trying other things. That's how we find out which products are the best and discover which companies know what they are doing. It's good to know Castle is reliable and a gold standard for brushless, but I don't think I am going to deny other companies a chance because of that.

I think the 60 amp esc's would be killer for minis, 6-8s on a mini revo might be a tough little truck. the footprint looks to fit easy

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

It looks promising for high amp, high voltage applications. Please let us know how your testing works out. Since we may be living in Prague soon this may be a good choice for one of my project builds.

Something like that, lol.

The setup will be ending up in a much bigger model in the new year but thought I'd do something a bit different until then. The Slash looked like fun. :D

Thats what I love about this hobby. There is always something new on the horizon and people in here are just so dammed creative. Thats why this is such a great place to hang out.

Hey Nick how's the snow over there where you are? We have seen some pretty unusual snowfalls this year, especially in the UK. I just saw that Edinbourogh was pretty much shut down all of last week because of the freak snow storms. I lived up in Glasgow for about 8 years and never got to see any serious snow during my stay there.

I got one 16025 (6 cell) and one thats supposed to be an older 8S type, the 160 never worked right and the 8cell one has a frayed reciever wire and glitches badly. Maybe its time to send them in and possibly trade up
